    Well I've asked if the players will be taking the knee for our fallen hero's only, on the 13th.
    Bet it doesn't get asked.

    Adams is the football manager. Managing on a pre agreed budget he is the one I shall be asking a question to

    Do you have any evidence it was a leaving present by Rhodes? Seems a very tin pot thing for the club to do. End of the day it was done when Sparks’ name was ‘above the door’ so to speak. T & S not many may have disagreed with sacking them, myself included but it’s still another employee(s) sacked under his watch. Communication should always be encouraged between the club and fans, but he has to live and die by his words. Until it is fulfilled he will be held to what he said, if it goes well great he gets the praise, if not and we end mid table he will rightly face criticism for falling short.

    So what has he done so far that means he will soon be getting a bigger job? You failed to answer the questions in my post. If the answer is talk more with fans, I think clubs look for a bit more than that when recruiting.

    I don’t think Trueman and Sellars were on a large salary Dave and they were doing so well it was probably a reward for their success. Their results took everyone by surprise yet Adams as you say was his main target in the summer. Both of courses were offered alternative roles within the club so not cost any more for Trueman but Sellars will have to have been compensated,but nobody could begrudge him it as he did well.

    Would you prefer an owner who beheads gays and has his opponents murdered in hotels ?

    Difference between Sparks and Boris is the former talks corporate bollocks, the latter just plain old bollocks.

    I’m not sure you’d see the backroom staff on a match day but maybe down at training during the week. It’s frustrating that we seem to repeat the same mistakes over and over again, but wouldn’t you say that’s a sign of how far we’ve fallen that we don’t / didn’t have the resources to do full background checks on players. We were so desperate to sign anyone that we’d take risks which have massively backfired. My hope, is that with the scouts onboard and increased staff in the background, we can do as much homework before approaching any potential signings. Unless you’re a Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd etc, you won’t have the financial muscle, medical expertise or capabilities to take a gamble on a player with a dodgy knee and tissue hamstrings.

    I do think sparks is low key trying to do a United with Adams, where they gave Fergie what he wanted to build the club in his style. really the sign of a good CEO is one that listens and most importantly knows when hes made a mistake. Give a year or two and the seas will be a lot smoother.

    also we were 23rd at this point last season with 13 points. A marked improvement to say we are 2 points of the play offs and 6 points off autos.

    Not sure mate. I saw it mentioned on a preview for a documentary about him and Robbie Savage that I think is on iplayer. I haven't got around to watching it yet, but should be interesting

    Imagine SmC on the training ground holding an Ipad up to each player as N W bollocks them. :joy::joy::joy::joy:

    Absolute crackpot idea. Adams has more recent experience of promotion from this division than Warnock (who is 72 and an absolute dinosaur) and Stuart has never won anything, even four matches on the trot, as a football manager.

    Recruitment was poor - and as we know the support / lack of backroom staff left the club wanting and what were the instructions from the people holding the purse strings and what they were prepared to input financially.

    Eh?

    Two pages ago you said he should be manager again "under the tutelage of Neil Warnock".

    Have you changed your mind or just forgotten what you wrote the other day?

    Or maybe you're really just a WUM and you've proven it!
