    Good line up on Radio Leeds right now to discuss the change in management.

    He could go win the champions league with Aberdeen and I’d still never believe he would have been a good manager here.
    Didn’t like him one bit but all the best to him. Just glad he’s not managing our club any more

    100% agree with that. That’s why our team playing 1 up top is criminal. Look at the lad Exeter had , we papped ourselves with his mobility and pace. 3-5-1 for them WAS effective for those reasons.

    Could DA have been deemed to have breached his contract in the way he spoke in recent after match interviews? Certainly seemed like he was publicly slagging off various aspects of the club. Surely that is not an acceptable way to behave.

    On another note I wonder if DA will now reveal what "needed fixing" at the club.

    See my other posts, we are falling over each other agreeing. He’s nowhere near a 3-5-1 target man…Needs to go!

    Yes. I’ll say it again in a different way.

    If you get Truman ( as you were!) you will get Cook up front on his own. I DO NOT WANT Truman for that reason because Cook isn’t a 1 in 3-5-1 as long as he’s got a hole where the sun doesn’t shine.

    A 4-4-2 type target man …..maybe?

    Its a good system with the right players. Non of which can our squad qualify.

    The 3
    Songo Paudie + Another too slow, too immobile.

    The 5
    Meh, nobody in the squad could form the two wingbacks in the 5

    The1 Cook.

    That’s your lot?

    The squad needs complete a 20 player overhaul except for Walker who is a loanee.

    I was firmly in the Adams out camp and was delighted to hear the news this morning.

    I think any other manager would have been given more time, especially one with Adams track record. However, his recent post match comments about the fans and basically telling Sparks and Rupp they would be stupid to sack the best manager we could wish to have made his position untenable in my opinion.

    His arrogant nature of self appointing himself the special one at this level, referring to the club as 'they' instead of 'we' certainly didn't endear himself to the fans and I doubt he would ever have got the fans back onside.

    Hats off to Sparks for pulling the trigger, but Im sure he would have been conscious of potentially losing a lot of season ticket holders in the summer if he had stuck with him, coupled with the dirge served up most weeks, really meant he had to do it. The last two home games especially were horrible bore fests.
