    Other than a reshuffle what has been done though? I can’t see all these new medical staff, and we still bring in injury prone players like Angol. Since Parkinson left we’ve made the same mistakes regardless of who’s been in charge and what days they have trained.

    I thought he was talking about our forward line and not our medical staff. Silly me

    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.

    It’s not great but it’s a fact of life. There are a lot of football clubs out there and it doesn’t seem like there are enough “good” owners to go around (certainly not at our level). So an owner that keeps us solvent and, moving forward I’m hoping he keeps us competitive, is about as good as we can get.

    What is the alternative? Hound him out and pray another owner turns up who is better?

    Rupp gets a lot of criticism and I agree he could take a gamble with his resources and give the player budget a boost,but there’s not many owners who do that. We talk of wanting this player and that player in the coming January window yet if it was still Lawn and Rhodes in charge they’d be crapping themselves now and a fire sale. No cup run since 2015 and about to get knocked out in the Exeter replay. It would be “Julian, how much can we get for Watt, Sutton?” Rhodes would say” Maybe time to bring Stuart back to help season ticket sales”

    Only 3k today proves that the fans are not taking to Adams. His dour, bitter personality does not fit what we need at City and I dread to think what ST sales will be like.

    With Warnock leaving Boro today now is the right time for Stuart IMO. They could resurrect the successful partnership they had at Sheffield United. As well as being a mentor for Stuart Warnock would be the experienced football man Sparks needs, comparable to Barry Fry with DMAC at Peterborough, one of the great relationships in football history.

    Rupp is shite and you know it. One of the biggest mistakes this forum made is letting @JonButterfield@JonButterfield be bullied by an an email by on here.

    RUPP IS WORSE THAN EDIN! Think to yourself why Edin has more than likely signed an contact that in which he can’t say f all about you the club.

    So are you going to take up we’re Jon left it and start a campaign to rid this club of Rupp ?

    What does Warnock know about getting out of Div 2 this century?
    I cant believe any serious City fan can suggest SM has anything left in his management locker to deserve a fourth go

    The fans aren't taking to Adams because there was only 3,200 there, I don't know how you come to that conclusion, the first round of the FA Cup is renowned for poor attendances.

    I thought the first comment was nonsense about todays attendance until I read his second comment.

    Was the attendance any worse than previous years FA Cup first round matches?

    Well, we all know you don't like him (Adams)

    At least you're consistent in your posting.

    Which Stuart are you on about?

    He is just a big WUM mate. Fails to mention we are averaging 15000 in the league to watch Adam's team

    Communication with fans, got the sales team working well, had a great season ticket campaign.Not afraid to make tough decisions. Different class to Rhodes. Now you define how Sparks is doing badly.
