    It is very well worded and the right decision to offer them continuing roles in the club.

    A couple of years ago just before Christmas there was a group on twitter telling everyone where the police vans were located with regards getting speeding traffic, my daughter being one of them, so I just posted "why not just slow down and stop breaking the speed law and you wont get a fined", Jesus I thought the roof was coming in talk about abuse, every time they gave me stick I replied you don't have to swear to get your point over ETC to which they got more abusive, complete t***s.

    And I'll repeat the right manager can sort the playing side out.

    Nor would I be.

    I'd feel like Sparks had stabbed me in the back, and had misled and misinformed me.

    'Victims of their own success' is not a good enough reason to relieve them of their duties, I'm afraid.

    Well how about failing to motivate a squad of players for the last 10 games. Thus meaning we failed to reach the playoffs. Is that a good enough reason?
    Or how about the awful awful football offered up? Is that good enough

    Most would agree their last 12/15 games in charge with little or no change performance wise was the death knell for both, you don't deliver your always open to getting replaced harsh but it the way of life for football managers.

    One win in twelve is failure the sack is failure. And he could do it with the biggest budget in the league at Salford one win in six. Bowyer had a better record

    It just amazes me that from when we were safe that they didn't go more attacking and start dropping players that won't be here next season.

    Continuing with Evans for example was madness.

    Pretty much the same on Wilsden Residents FB page. park in the wrong place and someone will take a picture of your car, upload it, go round the roundabout with indicating and your number plate is posted on there. God help you if your dog poos and you dont manage to scrape it all up, abuse will follow aimed at the person who has potentially just made a mistake. I'm off FB & Twatter for good but when I was on it I used to post comments taking the mickey out of the abusers saying things like I'd just gone round the Ling Bob roundabout with indicating, think I got away with it.

    It's horrible is Twatter & FB and I'm glad I came off it.

    Well I couldn't have called this one more wrong if I tried.

    Note to self... Shut the feck up Dave.

    BTW, thanks Truman and Sellars.

    Of course he can. We were pretty awful at the end of 80/81 leading to the lowest crowd ever, but McFarland sorted it out and quickly.

    Personally, I’d have stuck with them and given them a chance.

    However this seems like less of a risk and has been done in the exact right way by Sparks.

    Good to see swift action being taken.

    Give it a rest. T&S have gone and aren't going to be re-instated. If Wellens rocks up, we should get behind him (irrespective of his run at Salford) and turn this place into a fortress again. Any new manager deserves a "honeymoon period" irrespective of where they came from and what they did there. Even Sol Campbell (he says through gritted teeth)

    As fans say the system they were playing can be very attack minded, but originally it was about getting results and our defense were very good with regards not shipping goals, to then use the same formation to attack teams surely players had to be change, at league two level I'm not sure the same/similar 11 starters can change midstream.

    You could argue that he is attenuated to the mood of the fans and rather than let things go to far by dithering, he is incisive.

    That he has an open mind and willing to take some calculated risks, but avoid letting things get into a real mess.

    Ask people on here what they would rather have?

    I accept the right candidate has to be given the job and we haven't been great recently with regards managers but as you say get the right man in and changes are very possible, you mention McFarland, also Dolan, Cherry was a rookie but did well, Lennie Lawrence couldn't but Kammy could followed by Jagger, is it luck or have the people making the calls doing enough due diligence.

    I certainly see that point of view and if I was them obviously would be angry as well, who wouldn’t be when they achieved the initial goal set out for them and still got sacked?

    That said football is unlike any other industry. Another way to look at it is; McCall 16 games and 13 points sacked after getting a contract extension, T & S 16 games and 13 points in their last 16 games sacked only months after being made permanent. If anything it is consistent even if it’s bordering on incompetence by the club, the lesson is don’t give out longer contracts than necessary. If McCall hadn’t been given the extension and being sacked nobody would have batted an eyelid, if T & S had been given to the end of the season and we’d have brought someone else in same result. As it is I look forward to the next manager getting a 3 year deal and talk of long term stability...
