Nah, there is a bit of banter and ribbing going on but it's far from toxic. It just feels that way as everytime someone posts on here it's off the back of another City shitshow that has put everyone in a bad mood.

 

Also, and I think it's the same with texts etc, the written word can come across somewhat differently than if you were chatting in person over a pint, I don't find anything about this forum toxic ....

 

Around transfer window time I'll have a gander at other forums, especially if we are linked with someone at that club or them to ours, and ours is by FAR one of the nicer ones. Some of the conversations in the others take very little prompting to go very personal and toxic. Especially if the club is doing poorly or there's some bad attitude around it like the poor malaise around City lately.

The Grimsby one in January sticks in mind, when they sold their kid they got from Middlesborough for a 6 figure fee after 5 months (c'mon Gent, signing from Boro is your only thing!). Some of the comments on there were far worse than any of the name calling on here between the 'good for us getting money for him' group and the 'i cant believe we are rolling over for this fee' group.

 

Don't worry about it, they called me (under a different user name) vacuous. Water off a ducks back as I reckon I could fit all their combined brain cells into my head and still have room for normal function.

 

For the price of a keelham fudge cake I can teach you m8.

 

I'm ready to go again and already getting giddy about an Easter Monday announcement.

 

Doubt it. Rupp thinks he is doing a grand job

 

It's the hope that kills you

 

I doubt that he goes but there must be a serious worry in Rupps mind that season ticket sales are going to be massively hit if Sparks remains in position.

 

As we all know this former kit man Duckworth, usually gets things right. But just like sacking a manager it will be the same dickhead picking the replacement, and if its that cretin Rhodes it will just be more of the same

 

It's alleged - Sparks isn't liked by ALL employees.

Excluding the players... But I'd say them too.

 

Joined 5 days ago to start a rumour about a rumour?

I’ll get my coit

 

Maybe a DOF and Sparks advised to leave all footballing decisions to him or her.

 

The chubby little tosser can’t even put a tie on properly, can’t even galvanise his manager to do well, completely alienates the sponsors, players can’t stand him, he doesn’t even like football. The list could go on forever. GET HIM GONE NOW!!!!!

 

I believe there were some anti-Sparks chants at the match today.

 

Indeed.

As I say, its not quick or easy to remove a CEO. It would require a Board meeting, settlement terms would have to be offered, Sparks would need to seek legal advice and review of those terms. It takes at least a couple of weeks, so a Monday departure would have to have been in the offing before today - in which case, why would Sparks have been at the game today?

It's possible that it's the reason Rupp came over against Mansfield, or that what he saw prompted an exit, but im highly dubious.

 

You believe correctly. Plenty of them too, and fully deserved. For me that was one of only 2 positives about today’s game

The other thing was the A658 back home

 

There’s no way he’s doing it without Board engagement, or succession planning (even interim), nor a process of negotiation with Sparks and his Lawyer. It takes time.
