Frankly, you and me know fuck all about how good or bad last years team was until we see where they are this coming season

I reckon they were league one at best and I'm not having it parkinson thought they were much better when he signed them

What we do know is the club was an absolute shit storm and judging Parkinson on all normal measures may well be very wide of the mark

I'm not arsed if he stays or goes but I think we will finish higher in the league with him than anybody else realistic

And if folk don't turn up, they can fcuk off

I'll be there, I've still got a club, so why the fcuk would I not be

We will always disagree on Parkinson 

don’t go down the road of folk can sling it attitude, people spend good money and give good time up watching bolton

That’s the difference between a good manager and a shit one 

all this parkinson is working with poor players and loans, utter tosh 

 

are they not shit?

lets see how many turn up somewhere decent.

our best player has gone to forest, and id be surprised if he starts 10 game next season.

add on to that all the bollocks off the pitch, how the fuck does parky have a chance.

 

that said, i still want rid, and a clean start. but seeing as time is of the essence, i dont think we have that luxury.

SO

i will support him as long as he's here. and i think it would be beneficial if every other fucker did too

some of the football on show makes me cry.

The only time we played long ball was when we were away from home trying to bully the big boys and there’s fuck all wrong with long ball anyway when you have players prepared for the second ball and want to keep hold of the fuckin thing.

Theres a difference between a long ball with a purpose and aimless kick up front to a lump who has nobody to knock the ball down to.

 

Yeah but the 20 long throws per game into the keepers arms by either campo, speed or okocha were pretty shit, pointless and time wasting werent they? Not everything about Parky is crap and not everything about the Big Sam era was great.

If they stop after we came so close to having no club, that's up to them

No loss to me

 

When is it ok to say you don’t want the keep it nil nil and don’t concede, oh fuck we conceded game over tactics are wank and not worth bothering with.

PP nearly fucked up promotion with a massive budget for players compared to most last time.

Who was it said our fans have to moan about anything? Jeesus top 6 in premier league 4  or 5 seasons running, Europe, cup finals, regularly beating the big boys but God i hated those throw ins!

On my wish list I've got a billionaire owner ready to pump £250 million into this transfer window increasing steadily over the next four years until we buy the Premiership and CL and become the most popular and best supported club in the world.

Which is about as realistic as some of the shite in this thread and considerably less likely than another 5 to 10 years of trying to get back to where we once were when ED was around on a budget of 10p a week with a manager that we can afford.

Yes, not everything about the Big Sam era was great, but there's no comparison, the Allardyce era was by far the best and most successful era we ever had. 

Surely the Charlie Foweraker era was by far and away the most successful era we ever had? I mean 3 FA cups in 6 years? What did we win under Allardyce? Fuck all as I remember it.

We had a massive player budget because the club was paying massive wages to shit players signed before Parkys time. 

If after three years people are still equating the cost of the shit we had acquired with quality/ability I wonder what they have been watching. 

By this logic all you have to do to improve the team is pay everyone 10% more. Bigger player budget so we must be better.  Was n’t Dean Moxey on over £10k per week ?

Nobody is wishing for a billionaire, certainly not me, but if one came along I wouldn't complain.

Stability would do, with a manager who fancies playing a bit of positive football, and that it might just retain some of our dwindling support. 

Just saying that we had a good run funded by a rich bloke who loved the club and they don't come along that often so it's time to get real.

We are talking the modern era, not pre 1st world war.

Sounds to me like you hated the Allardyce era, but you've been loving the fantastic Parky years.

Each to their own and all that.

Then be specific instead of making wild statements,. No I loved it in the Allardyce years but I don't put that success down to Allardyce although he was lucky enough to be the right man in the right place at the right time IMO. But that window of opportunity is long gone.

Ha ha and you go on about shite on here. You might be able to remember Charles Foweraker but the Big Sam years were the golden years loved it all. Another one bitter to best manager in living memory but full of excuses for Parkinson.

And if we are just going off wage bill, I'm sure we would all agree it's no surprise we were shit and relegated last year

My wild statement is My opinion. Ffs your calling Allardyce lucky now.

As you have quite rightly stated Its the past and long gone, and I want a future without that inept stiff Parkinson in charge. 

In true Fawlty Towers style, you never mentioned the war in your original post but then pulled it out to qualify your statement later.

I do think Allardyce was lucky. He inherited a great squad and an ambitious owner willing to give him what he wanted which is something very few managers get in their lifetimes. That said he recruited well for the most part.

Lucky? FFS - widely credited with innovation in the area of sports science way before others in the UK even thought about it. Brilliant negotiating skills to get the likes of Okocha, Djorkaeff, Hierro, Anelka etc. to come to "little old Bolton".

The greatest BWFC manager of recent times and, bearing in mind the level of competition in his era, the greatest ever for my money.

All I am saying on the subject so don't bother. Just happy we have been saved.

Great squad when Sam took over?, Bolton were half way in the second tier having lost a play off to Watford the previous season and had never avoided relegation from the Premier League

 Eddie Davies provided bugger all of a transfer warchest compared to Fulham and Blackburn who had far more expensive and talented  squads than Sam got Bolton promoted with.Sam was a genius who spotted a future England striker in the Walsall side for 400k, the signing of Ricketts got us promoted.The previous summer "nearly man" Gudjohnsen was sold for £4 million, Ricketts came in and scored more goals for 1/10th the fee

I really don't think you were following Bolton very closely at the turn of the century if you think we had a great squad and Eddie Davies threw millions at the team buying a place in the Premier League.Blackburn and Fulham's owners did but not ours

I think expectations have run out of control again considering that only a few weeks ago having any future - long or short term - was the problem at hand. And I imagine that when they entered into the process, FV were focused on the survival of the club rather than anything else so I think it's unrealistic to expect anything other than minimal investment, perhaps with another relegation in the short term with a view to clawing our way back up the leagues over many, many years and/or getting the club shipshape and selling on at a future date to someone with the wherewithal to take us further. We should be grateful that it looks like we'll survive Anderson's tenure and anything else is a bonus rather than nitpicking over the details.

Don’t get me wrong i’m not expecting miracles. I just think that as successful business people they should be considering the impact of every decision... bums on seats will be a huge issue for them if they get this wrong.

Don’t buy that, possibly managing to convince some of the players he did to sign, but he was a trail blazer in his approach.

That wasn’t luck, he took all the behind the scenes stuff from American sports and was the first to use them here... everyone followed his lead on that. Without that we’d have not had the stay in the prem we did.
