Sparks Out

Did you really ask that?

 

Nothing special really.
Just a fan asking for a bit of clarity.

 

This was the reply

 

Ryan is Tom!

 

Your mail went in his 'junk' folder? He's probably gonna ask you to be our new manager.

 

Implies he marked one of your previous communciations as junk

 

I’d drop Cook and make Ash Taylor captain just for the meltdown.

 

If that doesn't have the desired effect, you could try resigning Osedebe in the summer.

 

Still not had a reply to my 2......I must be really on the naughty step!! In his junk, junk folder.....

 

What’s Ryan gonna do with all that junk, all that junk?

 

That reads like a polite way of saying ‘you’re a keyboard warrior, jog on!

 

Just further avoidance tactics. Couldn't give a straight answer if it smacked him in the face. And that's because he knows the current reality - just has no clue how to turn things around. We will avoid relegation this year - probably not by a huge margin but I have little or no confidence, along with what appears to be many others, of anything other than a further dismal season for 2024/25. And probably beyond tbf unless something changes drastically

 

Appreciate you sharing, thank you. Are you going to go see him? When you're back off your hols

 

Not back for 2 weeks.

 

Invite him out to Tenerife, God knows, he could do with a break. Tell him my 9 year old can cover as acting CEO whilst he's away.

 

Kill two birds with one stone
He can do my managers interview and I can teach him how to fasten his tie so he doesn’t look like a 12 year old boy did it.
It’s a start.
Might get him looking like some sort of professional if nowt else.

 

He could arrange an actual face to face forum with fans out there. With tickets and travel only available through the club's official travel agent partner. It would obviously mean missing some games, but who's going to choose watching that turgid garbage over some winter sun?

 

If we get past Wycombe and get to Wembley I'll give you and @Park bantam a wave .

 

I’m one of the 10% who voted no
Not because I think Sparkes is doing a good job I just think its an irrelevance who is CEO or who is the owner of BCFC
I started going the week City were relegated from Division 3 (L1) to Division 4 and watched them lose 2-3 to Avenue who had just gone the other way.
For the next 21 years they spent 17 in the bottom division getting promoted twice and relegated twice in that time
Each season I eagerly anticipated an improvement and each match I expected a win even though more often than not I came away disappointed - still there was always next week - season
And then in 1982 things changed
For the next 26 seasons they were out of the bottom division and even spent 11 seasons in the Championship (or equivalent) and 2 in the Premier League
Of course since 2007 we’ve been back where I started and apart from 6 seasons in L1 have struggled in L2 - punctuated by the magic of 2012/3
I still go each week expecting things to get better and each season thinking this will be the one
To be called a Happy Clapper by ignorant folk who started supporting City in the 90s is insulting to say the least
I hurt as much as anyone else when we lose - but I usually go away complaining about one player or the other, an easy chance missed or a definite penalty call turned down by a biased ref (who we as getting exactly the same accusations from opposition supporters) - I have never gone away blaming the CEO or owner
So the season ticket I have owned since 1962/3 will be renewed next year as will the ones belonging to my sons and grandchildren

Well the new independent group believe dialogue is the first port of call, and I agree let's see if we get any sort of response from Rupp if not then other forms of protest will inevitably have to be looked into.
