All that Look Sports stuff is excruciatingly substandard. I remember them claiming multiple sources inside MK Dons and that several players had contacted them to make their feelings clear on their manager’s sacking. Imagine having so little shame. The deepest any of them have got to involvement in the professional game is the chicken suit.

Not for me. Getting to the final would allow Sparks to paper over the cracks. We need to go out in the next round. Bigger picture.

And if I was the lad behind the former agency I'd be fucked off that this Ryan plum was blaming me for the non-story.

Honeymoon period with Trueman gets us to Wembley in the Dickhead Cup, the Dickhead Cup final nets Rupp, sorry, the club a £100,000 pay day, Alexander gets to walk away with a cheque in his pocket and his dignity mostly in tact, what’s not to like. 100k for a final is ridiculous and goes to show just how shit the pizza-paint-car crap cup is. And yet there's plenty of cracks being wallpapered over because we're into the semi's of it, beating a shit Doncaster team who had half their team out and the lads being played were dropping like flies. Meanwhile we're 18th in the format that actually matters. the 86th worst team in the league if I can count right

Meanwhile we're 18th in the format that actually matters. the 86th worst team in the league if I can count right It’s a decent prize fund- £50k for the runner up and £100k for the winner, plus some of the gate money. We get £20k for the semi final too. Prize funds going up was the only way the league could get the clubs to agree to letting the academy teams in. It’s a pointless trophy that nobody gives a shit about but the prize money is decent. You don’t get much more for winning the League Cup.

Those revenue deficits wont plug themselves.
We have to find some way of funding the purchase of all these quality players from the summer

The anger towards rupp and sparks shouldn't mean we ignore this fucking cretin.

Reminds me of the time we stuck Routis and McMahon in midfield. I know we were utter shite yesterday but what Alexander did was unforgivable, he hung the players out to dry. Defensively we've looked fairly solid then he picks that back line and midfield yesterday.

I get squad rotation when you have fixture conjestion, but you need your strongest side out there when the league leaders come to town.
It would also help massively if GA actually knew what his best 11 is.

Last success he has in the league was a play off win at Fleetwood in 2014. Spent his way to NL success with Salford in 2019. Another manager dining out on what they did years ago. Aside from the actual limited success in terms of trophies, has he developed or grown any club, team or player he's worked with? Weakens the side when the league leader come to town. Doubles down on it after and goes full Derek. 'Always our first choice'. What a club

He had the chance today to hold his hands up and say yes sorry I got it wrong, but no even after being dry bummed 5-1 he doesn't think he is wrong.
There is footage of the first goal from Saturday which shows 2 Centre Backs stood in a wall to block a shot that was never coming and a 6foot + player not with a player within 5 yards having a free run on goal. The second time in a fucking week we have conceeded to a set piece with 11 men in the box and still gave a free header away.
What the actual fuck do they do in training, or is training cut short as Year 9 need the pitch for PE?

What the actual fuck do they do in training, or is training cut short as Year 9 need the pitch for PE? I had the radio on in the car for the first 3 goals, for the first one Mark Bower was saying while the FK was being set up that all our tallest players are in the wall and no one is marking Cargill, sure enough they send it over to Cargill. Bower said "thats a total lack of leadership, they had plenty of time to get themselves sorted and Mansfield were never going to be shooting from there, it was obvious it would be a cross". You could say thats on the players but given all the other available evidence I'd agree they're just not properly drilled for set pieces.

Wouldn't trust him to run a bath so get rid ASAP. Ideally I’d get rid immediately but absolutely nobody is going to want to take the job now under the current regime. You only have to look at how long it took to appoint GA in the first place to know that and it’s got much worse since then.

"Other issues"? I wonder what...
Sounds like GA, for his errors, could be being affected by whatever else previous managers slyly aluded to.
------
"We’ve lost too many players over the last three or four months. You can see that, it’s not my imagination.
“It’s hard to put your finger on it when it’s players who have done 20-30 games on the bounce.
“I’m not leaving them out. They are unfortunately getting injured.
“There are other issues but I’m not going to talk about them now.
“I’m not going to sit here and try and highlight other things that need doing just to protect my back.

I wonder.
Jake Young must be a key reason, guarantee something went amiss there.
