He isn't a cunt though is he. Handled himself incredibly professionally throughout his time here. As a youngish lad who can remember the uefa cup but certainly did not appreciate it hes given me some of my best times watching us. Most of league one - port vale, southend, peterboro and forest last year are days ill never forget and he was the man in charge. His football is not great on the eye, especially when getting beat every week!! But if he was to go, he'd go with a massive thanks from me.

Ok this is not the popular view 1)Parkinson came in when we were rock bottom & stopped the rot. 2) Despite all the embargo shite & players who had forgotten what winning felt like we got promoted , not pretty but effective management 3)Despite limited recruitment & further financial constraints we finished fourth from bottom a position most fans would have taken at the season start. 4) Further financial shenanagens have followed & our fans have become fed up with the attritional nature of the battle to stay up so they believe the time for manager change is overdue & many have stopped attending matches citing the playing style. Of course Parky has had his critics from day one & the fact he has been virtually unsackable due to finances has stoked the criticism Personally I think in the main he has done a decent job but the critical mass of support now seems to be against him the takeover will undoubtably see him gone ....I for one wont judge him too harshly.

Aye they entered the high court hoping HMRC would file for admin. They said fuck off we want insolvency. The judge agreed and that was the only way it was heading. at the time ED had simply had enough. Fresh from the death of Gartside and his fortune already been pissed away, with the KA we were gone. ...and without KA we’d have been gonners 2-3 times since. There’s more to running a multi million business than simply putting cash in. Honeslty people are so naive. Weve all heard from the horses mouths what a state the accounts were in. We had forensic accountants going through the books, We were losing an absolute fortune in a daily basis and nobody in the land wanted the job to sort it out apart fro KA, in which he did. He fucked a lot of people over and upset plenty in doing so but he’s achieved his remit which was to stabilise the clubs cash flow and outgoings and make the business into a sellable or investable business. We weren’t but now we are. Simples really. forget the chairman’s notes and all the other circus generated in social media. He’s done or nearly done what he was asked to do. He never said he was going to do anything else. Fair fucks to the guy. If he wanted to screw us over and rinse us he could have easily done so. But he didn’t, he remained diligent in spite of all the bile he faced. Target achived ken. Well done i say.

Can we all agree what an embarrassing cock Marc Iles is?

Sure But, rather than crawling all over the matter when we have no idea what is happening, looking for negatives, perhaps it is just better to wait and see?

One thing Iv'e liked about this weather has been taking my mam around the lovely gardens at the hospice for a nice walk and seeing and hearing all the songbirds in full chirp.

the blumarble loan, which was always the biggest issue has been removed its not even up for debate or, at least, it shouldnt be :)

FFS, long and short of it is he's taken on a club in disarray, cleared what he could, and got it into a position where somebody else has found it a good deal. It's taken upsetting folk, sailing very close to the wind, and being very thrifty, but he has been successful in doing what was necessary to keep the club afloat. I'm not saying I'm condoning his methods, or that he'll be fondly remembered- but he has taken on a sinking ship, and it just might tread water

I skip the detail because it’s up to our government and not me to arrange tariffs to protect our industries, our meat industry has survived under EU rules, why you think it won’t when we take back control I don’t know. What I do know is you choose every opportunity to diss our country and glorify the EU. There really is no point me replying to anything you post given the bile you seemingly have for the UK. So it’s good bye from me.

ticket purchased today We are going Heading home Friday night to Worcester so its not that far away; the real ale boys are staying over so its the footy a curry and back to Worcester until Sunday night when I go back to the smoke COYWM

I'd take a pre head expanding Michael rickets We could still make the play offs

Of course, no issue with it I just don’t think you could say Ken has sorted our cash flow out given all the late payments, we’ve clearly had some very big issues at the club Granted he took over some crazy player contracts but most of them were up in the early part of Ken’s reign. You’d have to assume that 90% + of our current outgoings are deals signed by Ken himself so it’s on him now Ve glad to have all this shite behind us anyway, fingers crossed the new lot have lots of dough they are happy losing

£150 leaves plenty of change for Manningham Lane... Say hiya to your mam for me ;-)

Find it difficult to believe that ED would have had us liquidated before Ken and Deano took over I’m basing that on the fact he still ended up bank rolling Ken over the next three years That just doesn’t make sense Any road, how big is this war chest

You are right. There is no chance Eddie Davies would have allowed the club to be liquidated

In a nutshell. I'm not saying he's perfect, and my issue with him is the complete disregard of Oztumer, something about who decided to sign him in my opinion. I don't always agree with team selections but I'm sure he knows better than me and most on here. I don't see how anyone else could have done better with what he's working with.

and just for balance, I would like to see parky get a season with a competitive squad. /me ducks

2-1, Francis scored a header that game funnily enough Remember me and my mate got interviewed by Dave Higson before the game on the car park though we didn't make the final cut because my mate referred to Kevin Francis as a "fucking stump"

Even parky will turn his nose up at you lot if hes any sense. McCall was bad enough but ever since him you have had Joe Scrubs who no one has ever heard of next up will be Mike Bassett look alike. Enjoy your 50p season tickets you tight Yorkshire pillocks

Hes on the wind up he ain’t got an away game in him

Casino & fan5 will give him a glowing reference for you

You've banged your head against that particular brick wall a lot longer than I could sustain it pal.

keep an eye on mounts for me, would you im off out for bit and dont really want to leave him on his own at this difficult time

Parkinson may be out of his depth, but calling him a cunt is the work of a, well, a cunt. He's clearly feeling the pain as much as any of us, and is doing what he thinks is best despite it not being good enough. I know where he ranks if I compare him to Lennon, Freedman and Coyle, that's for sure.

Aye. Even the weather is extraordinary as we approach leaving. Happy days.

I think it's been far from a disaster with PP in charge. A disaster would have been finishing bottom half of league 1 and then getting relegated the season after. It's not been the prettiest - but I've been celebrating on the pitch at the end of two consecutive seasons.

No one can like or dislike him as no fucker knows him on a personal level has he handled himself well over his tenure? showed character, kept his counsel, not publicised his frustrations, kept the players on side etc? Course he has. It’s all very commendable. In a similar way Coyle acted during the Muamba situation. Albeit very different circumstances. No one can argue that on the other hand, we want to see a successful football team. However you gauge success changes but overall has he delivered that? No not really. That’s what people don’t like. I’d rather have a cunt who kept us safe than a fella you could go for a pint with who took us down any day of the week. I’m not after a good guy im after a good team

I see this as a positive as others have mentioned the notion of a no deal is our strongest bargaining chip. As such it’s only right it should be on the table and we are Preparing as such. Do i I want no deal? No. Do we think anyone does? No. But we cannot just roll over and accept the will of the EU.

Short memories. We had people running towards him at burton away. I’m more likely to buy a season ticket with a new manager bumming around in league 1 than I am with Parkinson in the championship. Maybe that makes me a mentalist. But I cannot take another season of Parkinson. Absolutely cannot watch this shite week in week out.

Aye, they are much happier when we are the worst team in the championship with the lowest goals scored in all the leagues whilst still not managing to break even Fingers crossed breaking even won’t be an issue under the new owners

It would be great if the takeover becomes some sort of watershed for the club and the supporters, a bit like it was for Portsmouth. Let the manager manage and larger numbers turn out and get behind the side home and away. It may need a new manager, a new style of play and the pricing structure to be looked at but after the last 12 months it would be great if the takeover galvanised supporters old and new

I'd seen the Bentham name connected with Athy Colls and wondered if there was a connection. I've not called in to see Benny for a while so may nip in on a Saturday when I go to see my mum.

Either a limited vocabulary, or kind of person who screams toward the bench from the comfort of NSL... He's not a cunt, he is professional and polite. Mr Grey is either a wum, doesn't see the difference, or bases his opinion on other things. I must also stress, whichever it is, he is entitled to that opinion.

He’s not finished, he’s only 32

No problem with that as long as she's in the concrete foundations and the backpack is filled with bricks.

Tom Bentham's dad does some proper good deals

And we will rock you. Embaressing.

Buy British anyway. Fuck em.

Wouldn’t touch meat now unless it came from a proper local quality butcher, it’s so much better than supermarket shite.

Both Argentinian and Irish beef should be available, the consumer can chose which they prefer, the Irish should be careful when siding with EU over U.K. as they’ve a lot to lose.

Our fan base. Fuck me. Every fucker wanted KA out. It’s happening now it is happening people are now flapping about them either selling the ground from under us or Facebook turning us into the new Man City and if they don’t they’re cunts with motives that should be questioned honestly, fuck. My. Arse. What a rabble We seem to be in a better position than we were yesterday. Where everyone wanted us to be. Now fucking chill out

You don’t turn out unless Virgin have a flash sale on Fickle
