Welcome David Sharpe (for next week). ©️The Cow’s Arse He was somebody who I thought of to replace Sparks. Can't see him playing second fiddle to Twitter Boy. If he's the one coming in there's no way he's playing second fiddle, at least not in the long term - structured transfer of responsibilities maybe?

Welcome David Sharpe (for next week). ©️The Cow’s Arse Wasn’t he Wigan’s CEO for a period because his grandad was Dave Whelan? Just seems another well connected twat… i’m not sure where he’d fit in at City. Surely it would be a clash of egos with Sparks? He isn’t exactly the ‘football’ man we’ve been promised either.

Wigan had 2 league one titles and an fa cup quarter final under him, not perfect but at this level blows sparks out of the water

You’re dead right. If he does wash up he basically makes Sparks redundant.

Opened a chippy at their ground didn't he - forgetting the fact it's usually only busy on Saturday afternoon for a few hours. Unsurprisingly it didn't last long.

Didn’t they have massive budgets (circa £10m) for those promotion seasons?

Dave Whelan is a Bradford man. Could it be a precursor to him coming in with an offer...? He's 87, can't have long left. Maybe a parting gift....?

They're both stating it's a strong rumour but this is the first anyone seems to have heard of it. Agreed it feels like Chinese whispers designed to create a bit of optimism. I suspect we are stuck for Rupp for a long time to come!! I hope I am wrong and there is something in it!!

They're both stating it's a strong rumour but this is the first anyone seems to have heard of it. I'm also cynical. The week that the support starts to physically protest for the first time and we get an open letter from the Proud Custodian, rumours of a DoF incoming and a takeover. I think they're rattled and throwing anything they can at attempting to neutralise growing feelings of discontent and to try and increase ST sales. Jewell would be a lazy [and probably cheap] appointment. He's got pretty limited experience and hasn't been employed recently. I'm far from convinced that he'd be any better at the job than Gent. He's probably more of an idea of what a decent player looks like, but I bet the club will be fishing in the shit pool again this summer, reeling in more dross for yet another rebuild.

Jewell lives locally though so he's the ideal candidate.

A rumour that Gloop is going to sell up coming out just as the natives are getting restless and just before the deadline for renewing season tickets. Why on earth would anyone be cynical?
