    He'd still be out of his depth at that level. He should follow Rehman over to Thailand or some other poor standard of league.

    No it’s not an admission of anything at all. Excellent , NON clerical/ admin, DoF’s are thin on the ground and very likely employed already and it won’t be in L2 . That’s more likely the issue tbh. I don’t think anyone would be against it , but a “ token non footballing” one I certainly would. Stockport’s version has a good CV but all the others I found have admin and secretarial backgrounds.

    Mansfields DoF is Clough’s brother.

    Rupp’s mindset on things haven’t really ever changed about the club. Never been serious hence why for me he is worse than Edin.

    Thing I don’t like is Sparks moaning he would have left if Edin would have stayed and it took @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler to go to Germany. However, both now just sit there when the club is an utter mess. Surely, people should be contacting Rupp and help change his mindset or Sparks should do the right thing and RESIGN!

    Season ticket sales, membership, shirt sales will soon all be taking a hit and protests will take place. It’s going to turn nasty.

    Apt its this time of year because a lot of you lot could be the turkeys that voted for Christmas.

    It's shit yes, but did Rupp sign a load of shite, no, it was Hughes (how much was he on?) and 'football' people in full on muppet mode. He even had in theory the best striker in the league who won't come cheap, so he had been backed. Let's try not make it toxic eh? Our New manager needs support not silly games.

    It’s about accountability. Who is it who keeps hiring and empowering a string of managers to recruit without any sort of long term or coherent plan, and continually bring in players who are substandard?

    I think we need to accept for the time being protests aren't a goer.

    If we slide a little further into relegation trouble, the rest will start to panic.

    For the time being I reckon just park these ideas.

    Rupp and Sparks have too much support.

    Turkeys and Christmas indeed.

    How do you know there isn't a plan? what do you want an apology, that's not unreasonable if you had to witness the first half at notts county. Who signs sub standard players and signs a boat load of slow centre backs and rookie defenders, Mark Hughes wasnt it? No sugar daddy waiting in the wings, sadly, we are solvent after numerous phases of admins under Julian Rhodes, Rupp in many respects is a safe just uninspiring pair of hands.

    A string? In fact it’s two we sacked Stuart who wasn’t Sparks pick when we were second bottom of the league and T&S steered us t midtable a success or at worst not a failure so it’s two managers hardly a string is it

    'Steered us to mid table success'. In League 2. Park's level of expectation in a nutshell.

    Stuart was already here and was replaced by T&S who moved us forward. So the only failures are Adams and Hughes who got us to the play offs and should have gone one better. So only two

    Watford go through that many in a season, you talk as if we’re unique in sacking managers. McCall - Sparks inherited from Rhodes and was rightly sacked when we were 22nd. Alexander has only just started.
