Not for me yet, happy to give it to them till end of the season. They've only shown how shit Stuart was which we all know anyway. This division is so shit any half competent coach could have a run like this. They've done well and if they somehow slingshot us into the play offs then I've no problem giving them it full time but not just yet

They’re highly unlikely to get poached and we can take stock then. They are growing on me though.

At least all this builds the case in the future for putting McCall's CV straight in the bin.
It's eye watering what basic changes they made which instantly improved things, and they weren't scared to make good decisions regarding binning off of awful, terrible players - players mccall gave second chances to FFS.
That 'putting an arm around' quality which people said was one of Stuart's good points ended up being a disaster for him in the end.

They're going the right things, they're being ruthless about paying up the shit and telling them to fuck off. And on the pitch they're doing the basics, they're picking a formation that suits the players and they're sticking to it. But it's still too early to tell if they're good or whether it's just that Stuart was so bad.
They're growing on me. I'll just be interested to see what happens if/when things don't go to plan on the pitch, how they change things and recover from it. If they can recover from a couple of bad results then they'll convince me they're the real deal. The signs are good though, they've got 4 points from 6 off the league leaders (and should have been all 6), a good draw away at Crawley, a win at Tranmere, so it's not that we've been playing all the shite teams either.

The right call. These lads have been different gravy - forward thinking, ambitious, modern. All words that we don't usually associate with this club.

A large portion of our fan base don't deserve this new mantra, too happy to bang the mediocrity drum. Seems we have a CEO with a pair of balls, i'm glad cos i don't want second best from my team. I want fans of other teams to dislike us because we give it the fucking biggun.

Good decision and well done to Sparks for inspiring words (Though I disagree with his WOKENESS polluting the club and will be writing to Rupp about that). If nothing else it stops fans moaning about contracts.

So they’re joint managers on an equal footing?
Reading Sparks’ quotes about the exciting basis of a squad for next season it looks like there’s not really a brief for this season but next season they’re tasked with promotion. Their contracts run until then so it looks like a case of get us up and you get a new contract. Seems quite shrewd for us.

If nothing else it stops fans moaning about contracts. Substitute ‘Wokeness’ or ‘Political correctness’ for ‘treating people equally and with respect’ and see how ridiculous you sound.

I mean going on twitter and seeing the City badge flanked by a homosexual political statement. I'm a Christian and I don't believe in it but people can do what they want. For me, football is an escape from the shit that is going on in life and to have this rammed down my throat is excluding me. I feel the 'other' and I shouldn't having supported this club well before Sparks was born. If he wants to promote his own beliefs he should do it ion his own account and not uses BCFC as a vehicle to express his desires. Keep the badge sacred. I bet he wouldn't put the poppy on it.

Thats why religion has no place in a modern society. People can do what they want but our book of fictional rules say no you can't.

My worry after the first few weeks was could they be trusted in scouting and the transfer market - as in fairness they are dead young, have no league experience and probably not the add on benefits such as contacts it brings.
So we bring in a specialist to do that. Relieves so much pressure and you tap into that knowledge - while before it was what SMC could watch on an ipad.
If we can bring in more specialists - like you see at football clubs in the 21st century - and leave the manages just to concentrate on managing that can only be a good thing.

No one should feel excluded when supporting City. Just keep religion, politics, sexual preferences out of it. It's not difficult. No opinion should be more worthy of another. Sparks is happy to offend others by promoting homosexuality when he could just stop it by giving everyone their badge back.

Who gives a fuck what your sky fairy thinks about gay people?
I say keep the rainbow, just to piss you off.
I'm not going to lie, I thought Sparks would be a wet blanket. Early days but he hasn't been so far. Delighted to see Trueman and Sellars get the gig.
