Sparks: You're in Last Chance Saloon

He’s blown his chance for me

 

Should only be allowed to deal with the commercial side of the club from now on, leave footballing decisions to someone who knows what they’re doing.

 

I'm available

 

As long as you get a reference from @banbrotam and @Park bantam you’ve got the gig.

 

Sorry but that’s a job for @Fordy117

 

Do past winners of the prediction league still have to apply or will Sparks come to us.

He needs to go now!

Why one more chance? Seriously, why?

Sparks just isn’t getting it. Blame all the managers you want. Do you trust him to make the right decision? I don’t.

Needs to go!

 

Completely disagree we don’t have a sugar daddy and Sparks took over this club when we’re in financial dire straits and with an upcoming epidemic. We now have a budget to compete with owners who have put millions in. Last season every thing was in place to get promotion in his third season despite all the difficulties. As I have said earlier I believe other clubs would live him and when he moves and that could be soon it will be upwards

 

Go tempt Stevenage DoF Leon Hunter up here and tell him to bring his manager with him.

Sparks can then concentrate on marketing and the commercial side of things, which he clearly does a good job of.

 

Sparks currently checking his spam inbox for our next appointment

 

I've just turned "that " drawer in the kitchen upside down looking for a stamp aswell.

 

A CEO has to be an all rounder the business of appointing managers and supporting them is only part of it. He has been very unlucky with his appointments I’m sure they take advice from experienced people and also references in their search

 

We have a commercial manager now. Yes, we have formed PARTNERSHIPS with companies but I wouldn’t say that we a decent budget. While the signings made are not highlighting that.

Sparks was always going to bring in more business than Rhodes but so could you.

The problem is with Sparks is that he isn’t powerful enough. He is letting Rupp just run us like a disinterested owner he is.

Look, some City fans are not the brightest and those that think Sparks is doing a good job and Rupp is a good owner really need to wake up and fast!

 

Sparks is as good as anyone we are likely to get and better than most. I think most have no quibble with the way the club is being run off the pitch.

His managerial appointments? He got Adams, who was the popular choice at the time given his track record with Morecambe, and when he left we got Hughes and nobody could believe we could attract someone with that background.

He's now done what people were wanting him to do in sacking Hughes in pretty short order.

Hindsight is 20/20 vision, but acting in the here and now without a crystal ball not sure what else he is supposed to do.

 

That's how it works. The owner gets to do exactly what he wants with the thing that he owns.

If you think Rupp is not a good owner, you clearly have no memory of some of the past ones we have had.

We are not in danger of going bankrupt and we have a competitive playing budget. That puts him in the top tier of ownership as far as Bradford City goes.
