    Like the title says at what point does Ryan have to bite the bullet and give it to Stuart?
    I’d hope he wouldn’t be trusted with another transfer window if we continue on the current run

    He was never right in the first place, The fact he cannot be trusted to bring players in by himself speaks volumes on his ability to be a manager

    2 to 3 more defeats and he will know himself it's time to move over and save the club otherwise it's none league football next year.

    We will be the Man Utd of none league football.....

    We are past that point now. It's clear that he needs to go and its clear he will be going if Sparks has anything about him.

    We won't go down but if we lose the next 1 or 2 he will have to forced to resign or be sacked.

    No chance, for a start we will get beat by Oldham that's a given. So you reckon Crawley is the do or die game?

    If we make 2-3 good signings in the first few days of the window and results still don’t improve by halfway 2/3 of the way through January, I think he’ll walk.

    Agreed, they do need to be good signings but do good players want to come to City at the moment?

    We will soon find out.

    No more guthries or samuels or sicknotes like evans.

    does that mean we're guaranteed a penalty in injury time?

    I’d like to think if things haven’t turn around he’d have walked or given the sack before then, anything else means they haven’t learnt from sacking Bowyer at the end of the window January just gone.

    The Stuart of old said he’d always do what’s best for the club. First time around he was hurt when he failed.

    Last time he was treated badly and deserved a contract extension.

    This time he seems defiant - the time has already passed and his position became untenable weeks ago - but yet he’s still here.

    I do wonder if he was shafted by the board in the summer and won’t drop them in it. Maybe he was forced not to spend the full cap. There’s something not adding up with him still here......

    if that is true then he needs to grow a pair and speak up. If not and he is accepting his hands being tied then he is part of the problem too and has to carry the responsibility

    Agreed. Stuart is trying to hold on to sympathy after being dicked about last time.
    If it’s the same case speak up, not sure if there’s a NDA or anything.
    Just say there’s no money and I’ve been told to make do. Blame shifts to Rupp and Rhodes, less Stuart and Sparks.
    If as it seems it was Stuart’s choice for the small squad and the signings made-well that’s on him and shows he shouldn’t be trusted in another window

    My biggest worry is we lose by an odd goal but that game is so one sided we would never get back into the games. When we play good teams god help us.... Stuart seems to be tactically null and void and if you add a small squad and a poo standard we are in trouble. I think he is done personally.

    I agree on Guthrie and Sammuals. Evans spending so much time in the treatment room is probably down to the fitness training. He has been quoted as saying that he isn't used to being worked so hard on a Friday.
    A mate of mine played semi-pro at a decent level and has always been a very fit guy. He follows City and told me that looking at the injuries the players are picking up, calf and hamstring pulls and strains. He reckons these type of injuries point to the players either not being fit enough or being worked very hard during the week then not warming up properly before a game.
    Kiwomya thinks they don't warm up enough, pointing out how the opposition warm up before a game. Okay he may be a sh**e commentator but he is an ex player. Certainly under Parky Nick Alanby had the lads warming up thoroughly.
    McCall will say the injuries are down to two games a week but the other teams have the same workload.
