A director of football at most levels is a complete waste of time and money, Put the money where it works best in a good manager and coaching staff,

 

It’s a good listen and Adams answered a lot of the awkward questions spoken about on here. In my opinion he’s a good fit and is putting long term building blocks in place. As for Sparks, I get the impression he’ll be away within a season or two of getting promoted. Never mentions being here for the long term, only about making sure the club is in a better place than when he took over.

 

I don't have a problem with Ryan leaving if he's been a part of getting us out of this league.

 

at our level it's club's that aren't sustainable like Macclesfield and bury that fail

 

Some of your worst posts ever in this thread Fordy.

You are not making any sense whatsoever, all this from a successful businessman!

If we go down your route we would be in administration within 2 years.

There have been plenty of clubs at this level who have had success without spending beyond their means.

Sorry mate, but you are spouting absolute bo**ocks

 

Some of our most successful times in the last decade or so, were run whilst under a regime that generated its own income and within an agreed overdraft or deficit if you will. It certainly wasn't the spend, spend, spend you call for. Its proven that money doesn't guarantee success, so when the football fails and the crowds leave then what? I'll tell you, admin, bankruptcy, extinction, FC Bradford City and then ground share with Park Avenue. The gap between championship and league one is ever growing and I can't see anyone let alone Rupp wanting to pump millions away to get there and millions more to stay there.

If the only people we could attract last time were the 2 conmen from Germany, who's going to want to come in now when the price is actually higher than before, for a product less appealing than before?

 

Wonder if anyone told the Saudi's that Newcastle not owning St James' park meant that it was impossible for the club to progress ?

I bet Old Trafford is also owned personally by the yanks and rented to Man Utd at a massive rent.

The obsession with owning our ground is up their with Maggie's obsession in people buying their own council houses and look what that has done to our housing stock !

 

Goals win you games and the stats of our squad lay bare the facts there ain't a lot of goals in this lot. We're more likely to score from a defender than a midfielder and our strikers are hit and miss especially with Cook injured. Either Adams brings in proven goals or we continue to tread water no matter what your xG tables tell you.

 

Agreed. The pattern is clear enough now. Talk is cheap - we need more quality in this side, simple as that. And unless there's positive and compelling action in January, ST sales will take a real hit in the summer. I voted with my feet in the summer and i wasnt alone - others will do the same in greater number.

 

Adams ain't daft, he knows that lack of goals is killing him and his side. Who or how he chooses to remedy that I don't care, any one of the forward six could be replaced as long as it brings a threat of more goals being scored. There are players here that a team can be built around but there are too many passengers along for the ride.
Goal scorers needed in January, anyone got Gary Goals number?

 

Rupp knew the situation when he bought the club, the stadium alone cost him £xxx thousand before a ball is kicked it's no good coming out with platitudes about it takes 1/3 of our season ticket money blah blah blah, you have to ask just how much he knew about the situation at Valley Parade and ask if whoever did the due diligence did a thorough job.

 

And now we have Derek "I've spent only £40k in 14 years" Adams In charge to sort out the mess in January.

I wonder what first attracted sparks and rupp to him in the first place

 

I have a sneaky feeling Rupp never even knew it would be a possibly to end up as a mid table league 2 side without any real signs of us getting back to league 1!

 

Still prescreened though. No surprise questions

 

oops just seen the email address

 

email them like it says

 

Do you really think they’ll answer that. Shall we try wording it a bit more constructively?

 

I care nothing about a staged forum and one person that will no doubt talk shite.

So, I don’t need to help myself. Time we all stopped with bollocks and see it for what it all is.

 

Most of the fans on here when someone at the club opens their mouth.

 

Has anyone actually suggested changing the two minutes silence for taking the knee for Remembrance Day?
