Personally thinking , forget the timing, what has he brought to the club since arriving? Honesty guys, was he going to help us get out of this division?

Good luck to him !

 

Or Sparks will be flying...

 

The worrying thing is that of those players only here to make up the numbers, quite a few of them are signings we made over the summer. The likes of Kelleher, Foulds, Lavery and Robinson and on showings so far, Gillead and Threlkeld , aren't good enough. That's half of the new recruits.

 

Scored Stockport’s fifth just then. A bobbly finish. Chuffed for them, slaying Bolton. Used to like going to Stockport. Ooooh Adebola!

 

Sparks has given up! Joke.

 

Strange one but bet he is glad to get away from Adams and the bad feeling he is generating in the club, He will not be the last

 

Wow that came out of the blue. The little I have seen of him I liked.

Out of contract forward lined up with money for Crankshaw?

 

People were praising Adams honesty etc on Saturday but I did think his comments on Crankshaw were poor. Good man management goes along way to having a successful team.

 

Very disappointed in this and another strange one from him who can’t be disobeyed

 

Alleged Sex charges, Drive by shootings, drug dealers, We have had the lot so no problem there

 

That’s the issue when the club signs a manager who is against their philosophy, but United have a top academy with top talent we don’t. When we have youth a go last season we nearly ended up in non league, it’s all good Sparks giving it the big one talking about youth but he has no previous experience of running a football club and has already gone back on having a separate recruitment department. There is nothing wrong with managers in football wanting to have control over things it’s their job on the line, but these things need to be settled and agreed on before actually recruiting the manager.

 

His comments about Crankshaw were a bit harsh I will agree, (by the way I was at the game) but it was more to do with his style of management.
A lot of fans used to have go at McCall who rarely criticised his players, now we have a manager who says it as it is and we still aren't happy.
Here's an interesting scenario, it gets to the end of the season, we've sneaked into the play-offs and done a Morecambe, will anyone remember him throwing Crankshaw under a bus?

 

How do we move forward now we have no Crankshaft ?

 

Only another two days and all will be revelled, but I do think many are making a mountain out of a mole hill. were talking about a player who's career at Valley Parade was mainly from the bench, that was under two managers Trueman & Sellars and now Derek Adams what have they not seen that some of our fans have seen, and as you say we actually got a fee for the lad.

 

I doubt that it was the lads plan to be a benchwarmer, anyway I liked him and saw no reason to get rid but as you say he won't be the last, don't know why anybody would want to come here with our recent on/off field record, it's appalling...

 

There's a bit of a myth that GR pumped money into City when that wasn't the case.

Admittedly, for the first few years, he did a good job with borrowed or other people's money before milking the club for everything it had for nice dividend payments.

 

Our next signing will have to be electric.

 

His output was far too high

Adams is searching for a second Gilliead to bag us a few more scoreless draws
