    It’s down to the manager. He takes the plaudits and the flack. It’s footy and actually life.

    The next manager absolutely has to have a reputation for entertaining, attacking football. That was the main gripe during the whole of Hughes' tenure particularly at home and followed on from Bowyer and Adams.

    If Sparks hires another past it dinosaur from the merry-go-round then that should be confirmation to anyone who doesn't already know, that he's absolutely clueless.

    Who’s more experienced than Ryan at interviewing managers? :).
    But yes, totally agree with you. Unless Julian Rhodes offers his consultancy skills again….

    Can’t really celebrate the news as it means another manager has failed and reflects us being in a dire position, but it needed to happen.

    lets hope the caretakers enjoy the homeymoon period Sellars and Trueman did.

    Hughes wasn’t a complete disaster, last season was frustrating but we did make the playoffs. But we’ve gone backwards and were in no danger of going up.

    thank god the board have pulled the trigger as it would have got toxic on Saturday.

    Yes some are rejoicing but he was an exciting appointment which the vast majority of the fan base welcomed and a lot of rivals envious. He was far to wedded to slow possession based style. I am sorry to see him fail

    On a slightly seperate note Sheffield Wednesday have sacked their manager as well this evening, I wouldn't be shocked at all if they went all in for Neil Warnock which should end all talk of him from some fans.

    No chance. McDonald in as caretaker so if Trueman was under consideration he would have got that at least.

    I can’t see McDonald playing himself while being manager just like Wetherall.

    That must spell the end of Hughes managerial career !
