Can not fucking believe parkinson has any fans after last season never mind this season.

Can't believe people are out here defending Parkinson's management, people have short memories, we've looked totally lost for 3 years and only just made it out of L1.

He did well in L1 the other season, worth keeping if cheap enough. Who knows with a real manager he might become useful. Seems to have disappeared as of late. Think alot our players have been Parkied from day 1.

Think that's abit simplistic I'm not sure parkinson could have gotten Barcelona out of the championship.

He might be but its the owners responsibility to hire and fire the manager, it's not on him to sack himself.

He's just the symptom, like the quality of signings of a much bigger issue.

No one hates parkinson, I just think he's a league one level manager

Thing that gets me is even though they don't have amazing records, some of the players we've signed have decent championship records like Murphy, buckly, noone, hoobs and grounds, it's got to be parkinson and the tactics/training.

Ikr I've a bad habit of messaging while I'm at the pub

Not heard from him in awhile...has he done a runner? :lol:

Has the takeover chat been disabled? it's gone... message limit?

I'm sure Parkinsons doing something strange with these players, Wilson had a decent rep in the Premier League before coming to us.

True. Ffs we would have been better off without Anderson, with admin in 2015 at least we'd probably be over this shit by now, with a real owner, it's like we've been in limbo for 3 years.

Parkinson...we're down, time to start preparing for next season. He probably cba because he knows he wont be here for it.

There's more to football than picking a team or a formation. The entire team look like they don't really know what's going on, it's like they don't even play together, it's basically a group of strangers. I also find it strange that players who've been in the Championship for years come to us and seem to play worse than League One players, Buckly and Noone being perfect examples.

Bulk it up with the kids and spend any money trying to get the best 2/3 players we can, rather than 10 journey men who probably wouldn't be any good if we got promoted. In my opinion we should accept we're going down and start preparing for next season.

Looking at Howards bid (details bottom of 392) we should get behind that, it's the only bid we've seen with people that have a proven track record and the money to back it up. Remembering that we have basically no say in the matter. Whilst being deeply skeptical of the Bassini bid, for multiple reasons, we should give him a chance, should his purchase go through. Whatever owner we end up with it's clear there's alot of work to do, especially given we've only got 8 players signed up to play next season atm.

Five weeks is plenty of time and no one can say the judge hasn't given Ken plenty of opportunity sort out the sale, remembering that the judges main aim is getting back the money owed. It's probably the judge saying get everything payed by this date or else it's game over.

The problem with this attitude is that the clubs not living within their means, affect us too, they've inflated the price of players (transfers, wages, agents) , trying to get back into the land of milk and honey. I guess what I'm trying to say is nothing exists in isolation.

Birds of a feather flock together.

I can't help but think the issue with Buckley and Noone is Parkinson, hear me out, both these players have spent their entire careers in both the championship and even stints in the Premier League, why would they come to us and immediately become shit...

The difference is we the fans don't have a choice. Obviously he's not ideal but no one's arguing that point.

Disappointing lineup from a manager who knows he wont be here in a week, we could at least be preparing for L1 by playing some youngsters, even if they just played a bit part in the L1 campaign next year it's still an extra body and who knows there might be a hidden gem.

We've have 4 years of will they wont they regarding the future of the club, people are worn out, we struggled to fill the stadium when we were in the Premier League.
