How the fuck did we ever let it get to the stage where our only wide options were a permanent sicknote and a guy that was semi professional at best? And expect our then manager to polish a turd. I know his management was abysmal for large parts but christ he got little in the way of help. He never complained about it though. Probably as he didn't want to shit on the club, but its killed his reputation. He should have publicly had a dig rather than worry about protecting JR. It's mind boggling how proactive we've been right from the start of the window, in particular clearing out the rubbish, compared to the Quick Sale Still Fresh approach of nearly every previous transfer window. Turnbull must be playing a huge part in this - if so at least we have him and are listening to him rather than spending no money at all asking the manager to work miracles on an ipad Funny, all these years we've complained on here and now its like they're actually listening to what we continually moaned about. Flushing the turds and bringing in better quality. Even today, if there was a player i'd have said we lacked, in fact i did say, it was a fast direct winger that can take people on. They went and signed two. Its like the bits that we can see are wrong and weak they are aiming to improve. Not saying it will guarantee success but it gives us a hell of a fighting chance. I'm now hoping the shite i've had to endure for the past three years is in the past and we can start to act like a half decent football club again.

We turned down Marcus Maddison according to parker. Bit unsure on this one - I know he's a cunt but sometimes you need a few cunts and he's one hell of a player.

Something has happened. It can’t just be Rhodes out and Sparks in, can it? Do we have investment coming in? Had Rupp decided to get his cock out and have a real go? I’ve been thinking that. It’s so out of the ordinary could there be more to it or is it just down to that feckless millstone leaving? We did get a minimum £250k coronavirus payout from the initial £15m grant from the Premier League (plus an unknown share of £15m based on "a lost gate revenue share calculation"). Maybe that plus JR leaving?

That went on the plywood 'tunnel' m8.

I think that only applies to the monitored grant. On top of that total of 30m in unrestricted grants that I quoted, there was a further 'monitored grant' fund of 20m that could be applied for and anyone getting a chunk of that would have to comply with certain conditions. www.efl.com/news/2020/december/efl-and-premier-league-statement-rescue-package-agreed/

Neshead being our resident Rugby nonce tell us who Davide Longo is and what he will bring behind the scenes at VP Was CEO at Featherstone, I presume Sparks worked with him at some point. I remember him playing at Bulls but he only played the odd game before dropping into the lower leagues. No idea what he brings to the table in a business sense, I have no real interest in Rugby below super league

Judging by Parkers tweet Trueman has the gig full time At what point do we have the manager/assistant scenario? Like with the Cowleys, danny is always known as number one.
