    we may have to refer it to a privilege committee of Hemsworth Tyke, The Reev, Young Nudger and George Spicer.

    No one comes even close to Spackman in my opinion.The football wasn't very good,he signed loads of journeymen and was the start of our financial problems at the time.The club made money available to him which we didn't have and it was the first and only time we could have folded.He put this club back 10 years.

    Exactly. Bought over the hill internationals like
    Geoff Thomas and Kevin Richardson, wasting a fortune on wages. He also removed all the tried and trusted backroom staff in favour of his mates and I'm sure he sacked club legend Eric Winstanley. Barnsley were always a Premier League standard junior side under Eric and he threw him on the scrap heap. Worst decision ever and why he gets my vote

    I think it was the day before he was sacked I may be wrong but we played Sheff.Wed .Spackman was sat in the directors box with J.D for the first half.Our full back was getting torn apart and J.D said to Spackman " this wingers giving our fullback a rough time "Spackmans reply was "yes he's good isn't he".Thats when the penny dropped to sack him.True story by the way.

    Don't disagree with your general point but he didn't bring in either of those two players - Thomas was Bassett and Richardson came in the summer after the Prem relegation.

    My order Spackman, Ashbagi, Schopp. If Schopp had had the same players and his own coaching staff I'd swap the latter two around.

    Have to say that there's some real fake news in this thread about Spackman's nine months period in charge. The fact of the matter is that in this period the total transfer fees paid were £840,000 and in the middle of that the fee received for Neil Shipperley alone was £750,000! He brought in 12 players but 11 left under him, including higher earners Thomas, Shipperley and Van Der Laan.

    Say what you want about his teams, I'm not going to argue (even though his stats far exceed the last two) but the financial crisis was ingrained long before and not down to his transfer dealings. And at the end of the day the losses right now massively outweigh the sums owed that led to administration.

    One thing in defence of Poya and/or against Schopp is that at least Poya found that winning formula with Williams in the back 3 for a four game period where we got 3 wins until Jordan's cruel injury. Schopp never got near any winning formula. Poya, unlike Schopp has also had to deal with Covid problems, no Woodrow, no Helik, no Williams, no Sibbick, no Wolfe and the parlous state of fitness which Schopp left the players with despite pre-season and at least two international breaks. He's still awful and top 2 like.

    The never ending signing of midfielders when all we wanted was a replacement for Shipperley

    I have to say, I was a fully paid up member of "Team Poya" but the Spackman arguments have really got me thinking.

    When WSB were producing the "I saw John Stones score against Rochdale" stickers, I always felt there was a missed opportunity in not selling "I saw Peter Sand score against Birmingham" alternates.

    Poya seems on an unstoppable March to the glorious prize of the BBS Golden Turd Award.

    Can a Callum Brittain hat trick save the day for him tomorrow evening? Will Spackers be crackers if he wins and Markus Schopp just why those clothes? All these questions and less probably won’t be answered tomorrow.

    I don't want to defend Spackman given how useless he was but Hendrie brought in Richardson & Bassett brought in Thomas.

    Someone pointed that out further up. My mistake, just didn't like the bloke and assumed wrong about thise two players in particular. It was the sacking of Eric that peeved me more.

    Poya still has a healthy lead though Spackers has narrowed slightly.

    Poya will clinch it tonight. I predict a rush of votes when he brings Victor on with 30 seconds to go in order to turn around a 4 goal deficit.

    MMmm possibly. I definitely remember a manager called McSeveney-Out.
    Is that him?
