    A very loud “Ryan Sparks, get out of our club” chant on Saturday needed.

    From the 4 or 5k that attend.

    Good point.But apart from @Park bantam@Park bantam I don't see any supporter buying into anything he says from now on.We need a CEO that is fit for purpose and IMHO based on facts as they stand, RS is not that person.

    Don't forget he worked under Edin Rahic, your comment above describes his time at Valley Parade perfectly Edin taught him well.

    I just hope the Radio Leeds thing actually happens.
    Raynor said a lot of “we hope” and “hopefully” when he was talking about the RS thing.

    Is it fans sending questions in?
    Who picks what’s asked?
    Does RS see those questions beforehand?
    Can he veto a question if he doesn’t like it?

    I don’t know if Raynor is a fan or it’s just his job.
    I get that he has a bit of passion when he’s commentating but that’s his job.
    Does he truly understand the fans frustration?

    IF it happens my first question would be -

    “When you made your not accepting mediocrity quote in May 2021 we were 15th in lge 2.
    Just short of 3 years later we are 18th in lge 2
    Define mediocre?”

    Make him explain some of the guff that he’s spouted over these 3 years.

    That is why it won’t happen as a free and open debate with fans.

    Unfortunately these things never are.

    Experienced PR people don’t put themselves in any situations where their potential weaknesses can be exposed.

    It does appear that there are thousands of fans want Sparkes out, but it’s one person needs convincing

    that person is probably spoon fed from Sparkes hr doesn’t have to convince 18k he’s the right man just convince an disinterested owner.

    Any fit and proper ceo would have walked by now but we know he’s not either .

    a scam artist with only one goal self preservation, an ego maniac given a position that his light years from his ability , I would trust him to do a paper round

    If Sparks were CEO of any 'properly run' company, he would have been sacked a long time ago. In fact in real business he wouldn't have lasted three months.

    @Fordy117@Fordy117 @Rcbantam@Rcbantam guys can you get a banner organised as I know this is RIGHT up your street. Both of you have been advocating this for a long time.

    He wants to go to Wembley. Might have been best if we got knocked out on Tuesday, it may have finally seen him off.

    No amount of shuttering could support that useless shower.

    I keep forgetting he's only 32, and as much as I applaud anyone of any age being able to do their job, I can't help but think that he is perhaps still pretty green despite his CV. Even comes across as a bit giddy and immature in that interview. Naive. And I think Rupp is definitely Naive about football, so between them, we get the resulting mess. Really, and this should have happened years ago, someone with knowledge and experience of both roles, should have had a friendly word in both their ears. I'd have thought Lawn or Rhodes would have done that. Perhaps this was what Jewell was offering and was turned down?
