As player manager who’s going to return to being one of the lads again soon, is McDonald the man to fire a few angry fucks into these chumps and would it carry any weight if he did?

Unqualified man with worthless opinion says that, in his opinion, some of our players are of the opinion that they’re better than they are. Some real weight to that quote there. Just shows the delusion/complacency and as you alluded to incompetence through the club. Sparks is the man in charge and he has no idea what’s required to get out of this league. He can’t drive success because he has limited understanding of what it takes to build a promotion winning side and that also goes for his ability to appoint a manager who does. Rupp is ultimately to blame though. If he gave a tuppenny fuck Sparks wouldn’t be in the position he is.

What epitomises Rupp is entrusting a business he owns, in an industry he doesn't know or has no interest, in a foreign country, to someone in their first CEO role - who 18 months before that was managing the Facebook account. Would he do that with any other business he owns? Would he bollocks.

And, and - the Sheff Weds owner says he's had it and not putting any money into their club, and he's public enemy number one.
Sparks admits Rupp hasn't invested a penny in at least 3 years, and because it's disguised as the club being 'sustainable' Rupp gets a free pass.
Force fed shit and we love the taste of it.

Would he do that with any other business he owns? Would he bollocks. Agree with you both. In Sparks' defence, he does seem to have done a reasonable job on the commercial side (or is that really down to Davide Longoo?). But that should be the limit of his remit. It's inexcusable that he's so involved on the sporting side. He's a rugby/speedway man. Get proper knowledge, experience and contacts(that extend beyond Middlesbrough) hired.

It's come to point now where fans don't care about the latest sponsorship deal when the football on the pitch and decisions off it are so poor / cheap / half arsed. He's a commercial manager, director at most. Unfortunately he's making the strategic football decisions and they've mostly been terrible.

Come out aggressively saying you’re not putting a penny in and you’ll be openly accused of holding the club back. Get your bedside manner right and gently whisper ‘sustainability’ in the ear of the fans and you’re lauded for not putting the club at risk. Dogshit with a ribbon round it is still just dogshit.

I wasn't arsed about commercial deals until we signed the big one. Seabrook's crisps eh? Oof.

How the hell are we spending almost £3m a year on this squad?
This squad is as poor and unbalanced as anything we put together between 2009-2012 when we flirted with relegation from L2 last time.

A corner, we score. It's a relief but another game where we've shown how bad we can be.

Oh dear, Sutton have a second.
Second half was a slight, slight improvement but we have this uncanny ability to complete shit ourselves.
