    Even if he sees this his ego will force him to just laugh at it and mimic you in a cartoon voice

    Once the owner has finally left the building the clouds will lift. Primarily because it will mean we at last have an owner who actually gives a shit.

    There would at least be hope that things would gradually improve under a new owner and CEO that actually had a clue.

    Rupp and Sparks give us no hope. No hope whatsoever. Clueless, rudderless, just drifting along.

    That's what I will do on Monday.

    I think that's going to have most impact.

    Cheers BBB.

    I believe that there is already a suitable candidate in the building. Davide Longo, the club's current Commercial Director whose success on the commercial side of the club has been adopted by Sparks. He was previously the CEO at Featherstone Rovers and Sparks' boss at the time when he was the media guy. He is well respected in that world and is considered to be the one who changed Featherstone's fortunes both on the pitch and off it. I'm sure that with his experience and his time spent at VP, he could hit the ground running. And he was never mentored by JR!

    I’m not sure you’re not barking up the wrong tree here, puppet accounts is a bit far.
    My son has a Twitter account, The Paraders, and has been accused of being Sparks or Sparks’ puppet by the City Vent guys - for daring to say things they might not agree with.
    The stupid thing is, he’s in the camp of it has to change.
    The club is a mess, I’m very much in the Sparks and Rupp have to move on camp, but conspiracy theories are a bit far fetched

    It is but more as an exercise for his ego than anything else from what i've been told by folk who've been and taken up that offer.

    People need to really understand this. If you want this club to improve then Sparks needs to go. It’s that simple.

    That's a pretty inflammatory comment from Gabriel Sutton, I'd hope he has proof to what he said as it could get him in a lot of trouble, a shocking thing to say without any evidence.

    It's definitely plausible. It's well documented that Sparks threatened to resign if Rupp sold to Wagmi, albeit I'm not sure why he thinks anyone would give two shits if he did.

    If and when we're lucky enough to get taken over, he'll be the first one out of the door and won't get another executive level job in football.
