    If they did make mistake of backing him at least we’d know their thoughts. At moment it just looks like chaos and drift.

    The Yes man Ryan Sparks kept on saying all players that left in the window left for footballing reasons.

    Well fans won't renew their season tickets for footballing reasons if Bowyer stays.

    I think if any of the top 3 had Gary Bowyer as a manager from the start of the season, they'd be at the highest 10th right now.

    Truly awful manager. If we were a smaller club we'd be battling relegation with this two hat.

    Sparks isn’t a yes man, he works for the club and would be sacked if he didn’t tow the party line. Like him or not, it’s ridiculous to expect him to say anything which isn’t sanctioned from above.

    And by not sanctioning something, those above are putting him in a very difficult position and leaving him open to abuse. It's utterly shambolic.

    Looking forward to the next appointment it is vital that we get it right. We want the best applicant not the cheapest. Get it wrong again and God help us. This is why I’d go for a steady caretaker manager while we make sure we scour the field and do all due diligence.

    I don’t think we should tie anyone down to more than twelve months, this is getting ridiculous paying out all these failures

    Me too. We must get it right, and that can’t be done overnight. I hope the delay is that everybody is ringing round to see if it a temporary manager can come in.

    He is a yes man.. 100%. It's a joke of an appointment and he's stealing a wage.

    He's their because both Rupp and Rhodes are cowards and don't want to face the media.

    Then he goes to games and tweets nonsense.

    Seems he has about as much power as you.

    Needs to be more expressive and honest. Don't hide and talk sh@te to fans! He was there yesterday and not tweeted anything to say it wasn't good enough etc.

    Waste of money to the club that appointment if he's going to act fake and play the yes man game!

    Would of rather we employed a footballing man as sporting director or something. We certainly don't need a non footballing man trying to BS fans.

    How have we not sacked him yet. Jason's article on WOAP was spot on.

    Get him sacked.

    Doesn't rupp apparently read the T&A and WOAP? If so alarm bells must be ringing.

    If not Stuart then who? I doubt many will agree but Greg Abbott would not be the worst caretaker. He did it before under incredibly difficult circumstances and keeps in touch with the club via media work. He obviously has an eye for a player having scouted Wyke. He calls a spade a spade.

    He has a get out of jail card at the moment even after yesterday's shocking performance. He got a couple of high earners off the payroll for whatever reason and has replaced them and others with some new faces. Somebody above him sanctioned all of that. 'They' would have egg on their own faces were they to sack him now. He probably has a month or so if he is to be replaced which would allow a new manager some time to look at the current squad before the summer transfer window.

    Although I understand why some want shut of him now, I happen to think that getting rid of Bowyer is simply removing the outward symptoms of a much more serious malaise within the club.

    He might be able to read, but he still knows about as much as my 7 month old grandson when it comes to football.

    Yep. He is completely dependent on his interim chief exec and I don't see much changing until a new one is appointed.

    I said people would not agree but it’s extremely difficult to think of someone who might be available and willing and know the situation. I can think of others but most have been out of the game too long. It’s a tricky one.

    I read this forum a lot and this is right up there with your most ridiculous posts. If he worked for you would you let him publicly undermine you and your business. Of course not, you would sack him in a breath. If you say different you are obviously lying. You are just a ridiculous spiteful old man.
