Ryan Sparks Interview

Faithful was that not the last words of the Titanic skipper? Apart from move the band stand a bit to the left and who threw that....

 

And folk are surprised the Cowleys turned it down or in Parkspeak "declined second interview"

 

'I'll never let go Rhodes, I'll never let go'

 

Tbf, so did I - but I’m a genius.

 

Ive read todays article and ive re-read the previous installments, to see if i have misconstrued any sentences or twisted in my own head what Ryan is seeing and saying, and without myself sounding arrogant, i dont think i have.

i thought right, read it all back without anti-sparks glasses on, cut the guy some slack and start again but its as if they dont see the wood for the trees.

All not go over the past two days interview again, but a take on todays....

- The recruitment model is working (even though we had 32 players, half of whom werent good enough).

- The new approach to contracts is working, in that everyone is under contract, or the contract expires in the clubs favour (of course it is when you throw 3 year deals out willy nilly),

- we as fans care more now about the players under his stewardship (do we?)

- Its more difficult now, when he took over us and Bolton were the big boys, now there is ten clubs competing at the same revenue level (A sign surely that we have stagnated or gone backwards)


The inside of the club, is in complete denial, i dont see how they can swing it anymore than they do.

they truely think everything is going swimmingly, yet we are dawdling in 16th place in league two

 

But remember, we won't accept mediocrity at this club

 

The Bolton line is the one that really got me.

They were in L2 three seasons ago, and along with Bury, had a countdown to their death on Sky Sports as they were basically bust.

And yet here we are, three seasons down the line with them potentially half a season from being back on the Championship and us slogging it out 16th in League Two.

And now there's 9 other clubs rather than just one with revenue close to or exceeding ours (Wrexham obviously an exceptional case). If that isn't a sign of our stagnation/regression, I don't know what is.

We've basically pee'd our comparative advantage versus the rest of the division up the wall. Well. Done. City.

 

The penny is finally dropping.

Gent and Sparks are wasting our season ticket money on crap players to finish mid-table. You do realise this.
