Biggish Dave Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I'm more than happy assuming it is Parkinson. I'd be more than happy with a mixed bag of league results but good cup runs like he had a Bratfod too over the next season or 2. After a few shitty years, getting some good cup days would be an improvement even if the league is mid-table stuff Quote
Blondi Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Brilliant appointment for us this, Parkinson has great experience in league 1 and he'll know exactly what kind of players he'll need to get us winning again. So glad I renewed my season ticket in the WSU, can't wait for the transfer gossip once our emargo is lifted, fingers crossed! Quote
jimmyjoojar Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Whats his win percentage? 200%.... In all seriousness for his career I think I recall it reading around 38%. Edited June 9, 2016 by jimmyjoojar Quote
BOWTUN BAKED Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Probably sour grapes, Bradford fans saying if you like your hoof ball then fine route one to Hansen. Not sour grapes! I think we're in for a longer stay than hoped in the lower leagues. He might stabilise us but he won't promote us. Rumoured 300k compensation for him & Assistant. Clearly not as skint as some thought. Nice to see sweaty Ken making a liar out of himself already! Thought he said we weren't going to be paying any compo? Quote

Thought he said we weren't going to be paying any compo? Don't know much about him but seems to have a decent record. Not sure he's worse than other options and has by most accounts performed minor miracles at Bradford. What is the issue? Quote

I live & work in & around the Bradford area, apparently Parkinson can't seem to get them 'over the line'. He came close to losing his job earlier this season after a poor run, reportedly, if it wasn't for signing a new contract recently. The cup runs have been a good distraction for him given the inconsistent league form. ST holders I know have been grumbling about him for a while. Edited June 9, 2016 by BOWTUN BAKED Quote

Thought he said we weren't going to be paying any compo? That statement might have been more for Bradfords benefit rather than ours. As for out stay in this division, I think we all know we're not going straight back up, the place is too much of a mess, and we still have too much shit to get rid of. I'll be more than happy if we manage to stay solvent for the entire season Quote
BOWTUN BAKED Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Because all the best businessmen lay out every detail of their plans to their rivals... Or, lie to sort their cause, i.e. he didn't want Browny so wasn't paying compo. If he'd waited a couple of weeks he wouldn't have been paying compo to Bradford either, reportedly Quote
Guest Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Guess where I live? I was kind of expecting you to explain why he isn't any good..... Quote

BOWTUN BAKED Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I was kind of expecting you to explain why he isn't any good..... Done for you. Just had my first call thanking us for the cash & getting rid of him Quote

Blondi Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I'd be amazed if KA shelled out 300K in compo for Parkinson & his assistant. Parkinson back in 2013 was on fook all and let's say Bradford doubled his and his assistants salaries on a new contract, I doubt that we would pay much in compensation. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/fa-league-cups/bradford-hero-phil-parkinsons-paltry-pay-packet-8464124.html Quote
tyldesley_white Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Be nice to get near a fcking line for a change though ! over the last few years we've never left the start line, let anong get anywhere near the finishing line Quote
BOWTUN BAKED Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Course you have. When we having this bout mouthy? Quote

The cup runs have been a good distraction for him given the inconsistent league form. ST holders I know have been grumbling about him for a while. Far as I can tell he promoted them from league two on little money and had them competitive towards the play-offs in league one. Most Bradford fans seem gutted, though they say he doesn't play attractive football. I'll take stability and pushing towards upper half of the league right now. At least for next couple of seasons.

Cheese Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Marc Iles @MarcIles 5m5 minutes ago Hear the compensation being paid for Parkinson is very low. A really incredible deal been done here by #bwfc Quote
Leyther_Matt Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Can't possibly play attractive football on their mud bath anyway. Quote
The Wanderer Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 If true got to be a good sign going forward. Can't see Parkinson leaving Bradford for us without a guarantee on the embargo being lifted and signings coming in. Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 He was my first choice even before he was linked with us. I think this is a real coup for the club considering where we are as a club right now. I am amazed and delighted great work by KA and DH. Quote
