Hughes was good for us but I don't want him back. His career has been on the slide for years

Me too...

Well, had head scan (MRI) last week and this morning had a full body CAT scan, all "routine" nowadays 😄 Waiting to get the results and then sign the consent forms to start Chemo. All good 👍

Certainly. But he isn't registered due to his injury, so what do we do when he is fit? It's a tricky one but the highest level he can go to is National League and that's probably better for him at this point than more u21 football. Only non-league clubs can take loans now our window is closed. A game he should never have been playing (as I know you know).

I loved it when we got nicknamed the bully boys in Sparkys ERA. Great memories

One of my favourite managers. His time in charge of us was superb, great times. I'd hate to see him come back and be treated like crap by these fucking cretins.

pleased for them, looking forward to their documentary of this season already

No way were the significant investments being left out, would make the recruitment team look bad. (As if they didn't already).

a year ago tomorrow, he took over at Carlisle -they went down, and are now one place above Savage's FGR.

It wasn't even a similar fee, we took a fair loss. There were rumours Souey benefited from both deals financially too.

Harsh on Pratt. As @KentExile says, he's probably out for a while, which will have played a factor in that decision. Don't get me wrong, it seems harsh he's left out and wastrels like De Neve and Taveres have kept a place.

He is But, he is also injured, which seems to have been missed/overlooked by many Had his jaw & cheekbone fractured in an U21 game a week or so ago, possibly out for up to 8 weeks following surgery National League for a month or so at the end of the season may be below his level, but will allow him to get a few minutes in and get back up to speed rather than having him playing U21 games

Just seen an interaction on Facebook from a couple of fans, one fan suggesting Savage is nowhere near experienced enough having only managed in non league football despite his record being good, the same fan then went on to suggest we should be looking at an assistant manager/coach from Premier League or Championship with no experience at all...

Yeah he's definitely a better option than some of the dross appearing on the list. He would actually be a logical appointment for a Championship club to make unlike names like Coleman and Richardson, but if it was down to me I'd avoid.

When you see we have only lost 2 out of 11 games which Pratt has started, I find that very harsh. I mean, look when the hammerings started in January. Also the Portsmouth defeat in November was the only game he was benched. Probably was saying non when he should have been saying oui.

Thanks for the update agree it’s Extremely harsh on Pratt i think he did great as well and agree hope he comes back stronger but that is poor management ( suprise surprise!) id have axed de neve he’s crap

Harsh, but they've badly mismanaged the squad and he's probably out for 2 months with an injury so it's an easy decision for them to make.

Not sure I agree but fair point. He does seem to like spells of 'inactivity'. Far better than most on the odds list for me.

Pratt>McLoughlin

I see Sparky's odds are shortening

I don't think Pratt is that highly rated at the club and this shows it. Strange as he did well when asked upon.

Pratt was good enough for the championship IMO the national league is well below his level.

Pasha obviously thinks having no CEO is acceptable and a great cost saving measure. Why bother with a manager when we have a Head of Football Operations who can pick the team and a coach to take training ?

It is as he did very well but we now have a lot of CH’s and assume that, unlike Pratt, both Atcheson and Litherland can play without taking a spot.

To be fair he absolutely stank the place out whilst here
