    May as well make him player manager. Results and performances may not be any better but I doubt they'll be any worse.

    There are still fundamental issues at the club beyond the first team manager. You can pick the scab off the spot, but you’re not curing the infection beneath.

    I agree he’s not the warmest coach we’ve had and his style isn’t to everyone’s taste, but who do you bring in? We’ve had experience, inexperience, winners and losers. Unless you’re having a clean sweep what’s the point in trusting Sparks to get the next appointment right.

    How much is it costing to cancel all these contracts, when this money could be spent on bringing in the quality needed. Adams isn’t going anywhere unless he walks.

    Adams hasn't altered his tactics from last season when his average Morecambe team had a lucky play-off final victory.
    Unfortunately this City squad doesn't have a Mendes Gomes to get him victories on the break.

    It clashes with the annual car wash convention. Damn

    That was poor yesterday but not as bad as Blackpool 5 - 0 but the fans frustration is understandable, as Garry Jones was saying if you've given your all and got beat fans will accept that but they looked uninterested yesterday and that is unacceptable.

    I have said this a while back. Something is fundamentally wrong at the club for so many managers to fail, and the team be so, so poor.

    Trouble is, what is it? DA said he knows, but nothing has changed!

    No, not as yet!

    Feel it will be full of dancers! City fans are far too passive. Too accepting of failure. I can’t be around that.

    When fans step up and demand better I will be there.

    My biggest takeaway from that game. I'm struggling to think when fans, a lot of em too, got so vitriolic.. Blackpool 5-0 away?

    Halifax are playing Grimsby down the Shay on Tuesday. Think I'm guaranteed more entertainment there.

    I believe Adams made the comment he knows what's been wrong for many years but as yet hes not looking like he can change things.

    Oh aye, it'll be more of a chore than entertainment...

    The wife looked at me like I was mad when I asked if she wanted to go...

    If I was Rupp and had no intention of selling, I’d be on the phone to Warnock to carry out a full assessment of what we need. He could be employed on a part time consultancy basis to assist Sparks.

    Someone needs to carry out a root and branch investigation into the failings of this club before we can hope to move forward.

    I'd go but what exactly do fans think they are going to gain or learn? It will be stock answers to usual questions. Some fans will be angry and frustrated, most will just be happy to get out of the house and put their City shirt on.

    I honestly don't know what we'll get.

    But I'll be sure to feed back on here!

    You have the perfect opportunity to challenge the very people you criticise so vehemently yet you pass it up.

    Dancer…

    Not as yet !.
    Here is an opertunity to tell it as it is to the two people who have been given the reins to do what is necessary to turn the club around.
    Does it matter if every other fan is a so called dancer you will have the stage to ask those cutting questions your more than happy to post on here, come on Mr Ford your fellow posters need your straight talking.
