    Crankshaw has offered more than Gillead so far this season.

    And I'd take it all again in a breath compared to any of the people that have had us since.

    I'd much rather go out in a blaze of glory than die the slow lingering death that is currently our fate.

    Hang on a second fellas doesn't that strike you as a budget based decision?

    Surely this means a free agent is incoming

    Let's wait and see who rolls in before we lose our minds

    Not seen much to get aggrieved at this departure. Let's hope for a signing of a better calibre, coming through the door.

    I wish would stop trying to inject humour into the situation Uyllses, it doesn't fit in with the misery that people enjoy drawing on.

    He's a non league player who Wigan gambler on because he was young and had pace and now it's back to non league

    Adams isn't that kind of coach, Stuart was, Derek is far more cut throat and no time for anyone who's not ready

    Parkinson did this exact same thing with the young players he inherited including the best player of all time Scott Brown

    Sorry but the club chose a management style so we can't expect him to change everything to suit a preference for young players who may or may not have potential whether it's Staunton or Crankshaw

    Agree Dave. Too many are weeping crocodile tears over a player who's never made it anywhere near becoming a regular for us since he arrived. Flattered to deceive in the odd cameo, but largely a headless chicken who didn't seem to know how to link up with the players around him.

    Sounds like every league 2 winger to me. Vernam wouldn’t be playing in this league if he could finish. Much of a muchness but we are weaker without Crankshaw in the squad.
    Did you see our bench on Saturday? Woeful.

    28th September a new record for writing the season off as a shambles.
    Is this our new business model? Sign players for a bit and make £5k-£10k profit flogging them to a more ambitious conference side?

    I agree the club went on and on about youth development, then brought in a manager who is only bothered about results and not developing youngsters for profit. It’s the club who have yo-yo’d on this not Adams he’s just acting as he has at every club he’s been at. If they wanted someone who shared their vision(I’m still not sure what it actually is) they should have gone for a head coach rather than old school manager.

    Wigan took a punt on him and it wasn’t a success. Stockport were very keen on him before we nipped which suggests Stockport knew his position in the order of things. Personally I feel he may have been more suited to them in Jan but clearly had ambitions and who can blame him. At least he’s given it a go, good luck.

    It seems a bit like United getting Jose Mourinho. The Youth setup has always been an important thing at united, Fergie always gave them a chance, Moyes did and LVG certainly did and it looked like there was a really good bunch coming through. Then in came Jose froze most of them out and/or sold them, started chasing 30+ year olds with major injury issues. Even Adams man-management seems to be a bit Jose like, him throwing the players under the bus the way he did is the kind of thing jose does rather than understanding all the players and managing them as individuals in the way that will get the best results

    Sparks has no knowledge of football, it’s evident. He may know business and marketing I don’t know I can’t comment on that, but we either need to let Adams call the shots on a footballing side or have a head of football, either way Sparks should stick to off field operations.

    The lad hasn't been able to hold a starting place down, he comes off the bench at best, when the guy interviewing Adams says he thought Crankshaw did well when introduced he reply was good I didn't, the writing was on the wall for the kid, whether he was a bad trainer we'll never know but no point in just being a bench warmer unless something changed at Valley Parade that's all he was going to be.
