The return of Ian Evatt in a match we must win.

This is the sort of toxicity we need.

Thanks to folk like you, successive managers have been hounded out to prevent us being dragged into non-league football.

You, and thousands of football manager experts in the stands, go loyally down to the stadium for every home game with a bellyful of boos and vitriol at the ready. We might even sneak a win, but you and The Lads will be on hand to remind us all how shit the manager is because the left back was wearing flamboyant boots.

Parky was hounded out, criticised, insulted from the stands and that has proven to be another win for The Lads.

Giving managers a fair chance is for wimps.

You have a different recollection than me.

I'm not saying for one minute that Parkinson was adored but the only reason he left was because the club, under Andertwats control, was falling apart, and furthermore, under the circumstances, Parky remained professional and dignified throughout.

On that note, I see Parky's Wrexham have just moved into the play-off places in the league above

The best manager we've had since Allardyce

It didn't feel that way, but it's looking very much like he was.

They've spent 40M to become an above-average Championship team, but yeah

I'd imagine the squads of many of the clubs they're competing against cost similar, if not more

No manager suceeds everywhere, but he has a proven record of suceess in his career, both at Wrexham and elsewhere

The pass to Bonham wasn't as bad as people are making out.

Toal (top left) passes to Bonham

who then just needs to stride forward and punt it, but he dithers  and we end up here...

He then still doesn't punt it, opting for the short ball to Sheehan compounding the error by playing down the red line rather than the blue...

ah fair enough.. In my head they passed it to him when he was marked. I stand corrected.

Sharon still got rid.

For me, there is no way he would have resurrected us in the way IE did in that league 2 season.

He's done well with reasonable squads, and now has plenty to spend.

Fair play to him for that.

He resigned the week before they took over

Why give it back to Bonham to punt up field - adding extra risk - rather than Toal punt it upfield? It was poor from Toal. There was no benefit from going back and there was some risk. Bonham then did a poor job too.

I'm not sure she did

Everything suggested it was his decision

I also think with his experience and contacts in the game, he'd have been capable of getting us up as well

I think it's really unlikely Sharon decided to get rid of Parky in favour of appointing an out-of-work Keith Hill on a twelve-month trial contract

The nonsense with the Donny game was the final straw for him

Gary megson you don’t have to be likeable to be a good manager. If it wasn’t for the owners gaz would of got us to a European final

A good shout but managing the relationship with supporters is part and parcel for me and he was shit at it

People booing him when he arrived set the tone making it impossible for him from day one But yes he could have tried to mend bridges but was to stubborn .
But personally i always prefare winning football not arsed on the style of play or if the manager is an ugly horrible cunt just win games . Winning in style like Colin Todd’s side is the cherry on the top but it’s nearly impossible to achieve regularly

I couldn't agree more about style of play

If memory serves me right, the takeover was looking a bit rocky and I think he’d just had enough by that point. He led us with tremendous dignity through that period and will always have my respect.

Tbf they’ve had to go through three divisions, too, so I imagine there have been a couple of squad rebuilds within that period.

No doubt he's done well for himself, better than anyone could've predicted, but the football and the majority of his time with us was pretty fuckin miserable

Genuine question. Does SS know his best 11. I think he changes the team too much.
