    It's totally unacceptable, at my last company they provided me with a company mobile, I never had company business discussed on my own mobile.

    I think this is fake news.

    Before the Crawley game, I was walking down the steps to the back of the main stand where Ryan parks his car and a few bottles that were carelessly left on the wall on Burlington St fell and narrowly missed his car as they smashed. Haven't seen his car in that area since.

    Ryan is out of his depth. You need to go. Your decisions are and have having an impact on the club and first team.

    Better to walk away now.

    As much as I believe Sparks to be out of his depth, his leaving shouldn't be the priority. If he were to leave, what would Rupp do to replace him? He has no interest in the club, little knowledge of football and zero experience of managing a football club himself. He wouldn't have a clue what to do. Instead, he'd probably turn to somebody he knew, he trusted and who has past experience of running a football club albeit in his own particular way. In fact, exactly the same way in which Sparks was schooled. Welcome back JR!

    That would change very little imo. Our future as a viable club rests with Rupp selling the club to somebody who can and will take the club forward rather than Rupp who seems intent on allowing the club to tread water whilst he earns a small return on his investment. Replace Rupp with a more hands-on and ambitious owner and Sparks will be replaced. But the first priority is to encourage Rupp to sell the club. Hit him where it hurts, in his pocket.

    Sparks said today that what he started at the beginning of the season didn't work out as expected under Adams. He says he knows the reason but will keep it to himself.

    Sparks also basically said that recruitment situation was no good and going back to a head of recruitment who will work closely with Hughes going forward. It sounds like an appointment may be imminent

    Has Hughes or Ryan mentioned the potential of looking at free agents coming in before the end of the season at all?

    In the T&A today, looks unlikely.
    "Free agents could be another potential option, although with players starting to come back from injury, it is unlikely that Hughes sees them as an immediate, short-term fix." https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportlatest/19960620.bradford-city-boss-hughes-loan-free-agent-markets/

    As long as the likes of Walker and Vernam are back soon I'm not really sure on why we'd bother and better off saving the money.
