    Ah, mistook it for the oasis song. Smithers Jones is one of the few Jam songs written and sung by Bruce.

    It was. “Listen Up” by Oasis. I was just trying to reference your Jam comment. I’m a fan of both bands.

    I've merely detailed the situation, the facts of which are indisputable. I'm not in any position to rectify it. Email the man who is, Stefan Rupp.

    The two must unambitious people agree with you. The two that have given up on the club a long time a go.

    Managers are judged by the results that is the business and you work with the players you have got.

    You can't go oh these players are rubbish lets forget the next 6 months. Nonsense!

    We drop more points up until the start of the year this season is gone anyway.

    I just wonder, would a new manager /coach get better out of this group of players?

    We sack Adams, his compensation package is paid for how? Playing budget?

    You know I'm not one to keep quiet. I can often talk some rite shite but I'm sure that Adams is the least of our problems at the moment

    Sparks needs to realise that its a results game. He can't keep Adams just because of his own reputation. If anything, I think Sparks would enhance his reputation if he showed some balls and acted like a proper CEO. Its a results game, meaning fans want wins. If we keep losing, then its only a matter of time before the Adams chants and boos get louder each game. Not to mention us getting closer to relegation, and further away from the the playoffs.

    I agree with you Mr Sparks is very inexperienced and hardly had the best mentor who was hell bent on balancing the books over what happens on the pitch he gave Stuart a contract extension then sacked him, once you get away with not sure especially considering the cost he would do so again we are stuck with Mr Adams and his ways for a while yet am afraid the only time Mr Sparks would react is if we fall into the bottom 2
    Even then am not too sure

    Maybe I'm being naive but could that reflect 'positively' in the next transfer windows?[/QUOTE]
    Sadly, its Rupp's money being provided for transfers, not Ryans.

    We aren't losing though, we are just drawing too many games which suggests with the addition of 3 or 4 quality individuals, then these draws will turn into wins.
    I think that's what the whole of the board, the management team and the recruitment side of the club are putting their hopes on this season.

    Well. I was given a pair of those, and walked out on the first game of the season and banged them in for fun. Then I went off the boil, decided that it was all down to the boots not working, threw my toys out of the pram, blamed by parents for not providing me with the proper tools, and banked everything on a new pair of boots for Xmas changing my fortunes.
    Sound familiar? :)

    ps Adidas World Cup still made and still one of the best boots out there imo.

    “So do you want to spend the Crankshaw money on a new player or a new manager”

    No wonder we need a scout network then, if they are tasked with bringing in 3 to 4 players with a total of 10k spend :) Hope they've thoroughly analysed the Sunday Leagues! :)

    And absolutely nothing has changed by putting Sparks in Rhodes' position.

    Rhodes was hopeless picking managers and ensuring continuity, so is Sparks.

    I dont care about the cup. I care about our league results, and they havent been good enough.

    mock about xG all you want but those who know, know, and laugh at those who have their head stuck up their own backside.
