    Do you think we could get by with a caretaker link coach? If they do well, we could promote them to interim link coach.

    Can you honestly look at yourself in the mirror and say Derek Adams came to City and fancied Trueman as his no2? Can you honestly? Even after hearing how much Sparks has spoken of him (and Sellers) “I hope they stay” “I’ll always support them” WAKE UP for gods sake!

    Both as useless, both as insignificant

    It's what Adams does. Have a look at what he did at his previous clubs before you start telling people to wake up.

    Adams came with an open mind. He is not the type of person who will be told who to appoint as his assistant.

    Do not know what your problem is and why so negative.

    Exactly.

    It's right to say he probably didn't come here thinking Trueman was the man, so that's fair kop; but he's since been impressed.

    Not rocket science

    I disagree, I think Trueman had bee lined for Adams Arsehole and it’s paid off with Sparks blessing, hence the main reason why Sellers has run for the hills in floods of tears. Embarrassing carry on

    I wouldn't know, I'm not that close to the situation.

    But I've no doubt Adams made his choice and I doubt simply being sycophantic would pull the wool over his eyes.

    To be fair. I don't think he did. I just think he wasn't fussed.

    Sparks said he challenged Trueman to be the next manager of Bradford City. That comment to me could highlight that he was going to be assistant at some point.

    It all smells that they had to wait for Sellars to leave. Sellars stayed then I don't think Trueman gets the job.

    I think my point is..... I don’t really think that a ‘let’s keep it in the family‘ attitude Is required at the moment. Now is not the time for fairy tale fantasy’s.
    We’ve had too many failed years, we don’t need strikers what have only scored 8 times in 3 years and we don’t need (back hander relationships) with have a go hero youth team managers. It’s now time to be ruthless and cut throat in the pursuit of victory! Automatic (not playoffs) / WIN (not draw).

    Adams is his own man. Get real.

    From Sparks' perspective, sure, that makes sense.

    But why would Adams appoint his likely successor as his assistant?

    Remember why Jim Jefferies binned off McCall? He was a threat to his job
