Still think KA will give Parky until Xmas to turn it around.

Quite likely to be in a big black hole by then though, and hard to get out of.

With the number of poor teams in this division it would take something monumentally shite to be cast adrift by Christmas, even by our standards.

I think Parky gets until January by then hopefully we’ve turned it round and got a cushion from the bottom 3.

Hope you are right but I doubt it my only hope now is that Ameobi gets fit and stays fit and Ireland hits the type of form he showed a few seasons ago.

we have been out played in nearly every game this season.

2 weeks for me

I can't see there's any chance of us potting Parky given our current financial plight. 

For those who want rid - would you be happy to lose one of our few saleable assets (Pav/Vela/Ameobi) for a million to fund it? 

Snap your hand off for Vela 1m

If there's ever been an example of a player who peaked early and then never improved it's Josh.... 

What a cop out Ken, should have gone after Saturday. Can't watch much more of this shit.

I doubt it'd cost a million to pot him

12 month rolling contract?

No way he's on 20-25k a week

I don't think it would be too far off - there'd be some kind of compo - plus remaining wages. For him and most of his backroom staff. Plus there's then the cost of bringing the new bloke in. 

Maybe I'm wide of the mark - but I can't see it being particularly cheap. What do you reckon - money wise?

Just out of interest how much would the club lose with relegation? surely makes more financial sense to get a manager in that can prevent that happening, because in my opinion Parkinson will not keep us up again this time around.

See I still think we'll stay up with Parky. Not sure how much we'd stand to lose if we went down. Likely more than a million I suppose. But all that is irrelevant unless you've the money in the pot to pay him off anyway - which I doubt we have.

To be honest I was only thinking of him, so fair point re other staff, not sure how many staff we are talking but for PP alone I'd have thought 250k maybe?

I can't imagine KA would have PP on a contract which means he can't afford to get rid if required

Probably just as likely to sack him and not pay him off

I'd be surprised if we had to sell a player to get rid with the alternative being doing nothing and getting relegated to avoid a hefty compo bill

A million sounds a bit high, but not way over, would be my uninformed guess.

Ken wouldn’t pay Parky off in 1 hit - he’d have him on garden leave and pay him over 12 months

Edited by Biggish Dave

Ken wouldn’t pay Parky at all 

it would be another scrap over Twitter for the next 6 months 

15k tops Parkinson 

Ken is as slippery as a Canvey Island eel

His moment of truth will come the next time we are issued with a winding up order 

As for sacking Parky dont make me laugh! 

More chance of Parky walking away imo.

I’m not sure why any winding up deal will be a moment of truth as there is no way it won’t be settled, that is unless Ken has had enough and thinks he can’t find a buyer.

Every chance Pavel will be gone anyhow. Given our financial plight another £6m type offer and Ken will snatch their hand off.
