And for anyone who says see what he’s like if he has money to spend, he did at hull and failed

 

History proves the championship is too much for him

 

 

Point one

 

I've had a look at what hull spent and 06/ 07 they made a profit on transfers so he was hardly spunking oil money

 

2 He had more games in the championship last year than in his two previous spells combined and he was successful against any reasonable measure

  • Is there nowhere else you can go to bore folk to death?

  • You lose all credibility banging on about Coyle for me.  On topic. It’s an odd one for me. I like him personally and am happy he can go out with his head held high.   He has to go though as we got

  • Spot on Tom 

Just remember that parky knew full well what he was coming into in terms of money.

On that basis there may be others who would too; especially as ken is gradually stabilising the club.

In a way I'd love PP to prove me wrong and start to advance the club. He has done what was hoped, but if he was to stay here would have to get results quickly; there's no way crowds would continue to accept the dross which has frequently been served up.

Personally I'm for a change.

Ken's not stupid however, and he also seems quite loyal; so whatever decision he makes I'd be pretty happy with as he should be best placed to make the decision that's in the best interests of the club.

He’s achieved this seasons goal......however I would change if we can find the right replacement. I don’t like the stubbornness or freezing out of players and randomly bringing them back. Sunday was ridiculous to start with wilbraham up front. It paid off when we brought alf on. Before that it was shite.

And while we are at it, he somehow turned madine into somebody we got over 5 million for

 

That in itself earns him another year

The club isn’t having to sell anything that isn’t nailed down anymore, and I don’t think it’s the thankless task it could’ve been viewed as 2 years ago. PP still made the move for God’s sake

 

Some relatively successful lower league / smaller club managers would think they’d won the lottery to be able to work with our apparent peasant budget & managers / coaches have egos just as big as players these days. They all think they can take a job on and improve a team otherwise they wouldn’t take the gig. Irrespective of where it is in the league, players they have etc

 

No clear name jumps out as a front runner. However there would be a queue around the ground of willing applicants

I’m guessing hull and Charlton were in financial positions to boot him hence why he didn’t last long

 

Regarding money I never said he spunked money at hull just that some would like to give him ago if we cane into some, I was pointing out he has in the past

Can't argue with that. What concerns me is that the current buzz will fade, and there may well be a drop in season ticket sales unless ken can produce some cash from somewhere for pp who may possibly re-enthuse fans with signings.

If it doesn't materialise then a new manager may help ease concerns.

The Owen Coyle effect, I think they call it

 

Clap clap clap

 

The day we appoint mangers to sell STs we nay as well pack up

Anyway

 

I'm going watching some videos of sunday

Hardly any other videos of this season worth a second look.

Casino surely in your fully up yourself belief you can’t be happy at the random freezing and unfreezing of players in the team

Or the fact it took him 46 games to find an attacking formula.

I can see both sides of the argument. Spent nothing on transfers so very restricted on the calibre of players. We have played a lot of negative football,our away form is shameful. So I could blame the players and the manager?

As has been said, if we get some meaningful investment, that may come with a decision on the manager too. In the last 8 or so games, we generally froze whilst our rivals at the bottom rallied. Could PP have introduced a couple of younger players from our successful kids teams?

It's tough though so I'm 70% out,30% in.

His CV is enhanced, no matter what

Maybe they aren't random when you've spent all week with the players?

Parky out for me

 

Largely supportive of him on the whole but Burton away was a disgrace

 

The team he put out and the way he set them up was nothing short of bonkers, I fail to see how that’s a manager who can take us forward long term

 

The Forest line up was nearly right, Wilbraham was a fucking bizarre one though. No surprise for me that our three goals came when ALF was on the pitch (1 goal and 2 assists for ALF)

 

I’ve no longer got any confidence in Parky’s abillity to pick the right side, has to go for me

Counts for nothing really when he spends all week with the players yet the long ball approach we used for 46 games wasn’t apparently on instruction...

If 10 minutes of a season counts then yeah I kind of agree.

Depends on finances, no investment, might as well keep Parky and sign a couple of giants up top, if we get investment like a new owner or majority shareholder, PP will probably get potted anyway.

how long did it take before Alf cemented his place too bloody long

 

He played that bag of shit walker before him

Casino surely in your fully up yourself belief you can’t be happy at the random freezing and unfreezing of players in the team

I don't care who gets frozen out

 

I think there were some odd selections but we got there and that's all that matters

Hardly any other videos of this season worth a second look.

 

There's plenty highlights I'd be happy seeing

 

Just about every point was hard won

 

Depends if your some sort of loon who judges everything by super fucking Sunday standards

 

Me, I'm happy busting our bollocks for a nil nil at Norwich

 

Each to their own, mind

I love how people are still complaining about Wilbraham starting even though it was clearly the right move. Before the game I said it was to have a presence up front to allow Le Fondre to come on fresh and effect the game.

 

Le Fondre is best off the bench. It was a hot day and the plan worked brilliantly.

 

When it mattered Parky ignored the fans and their inevitable whinging. Made the right call and took the difficult decision and it got us over the line.

 

I’d never listen to fans about managerial appointments after Coyle. Set the club back ten years if not more listening to the screaming mob. Ken knows what he’s doing. I will let him get on with it.

 

I think Parky is safe as houses as should be unless the ownership changes then all bets are off.

And to whoever above said it was shit til Alf came on, it's obviously Specsavers time

 

Nobody could argue we didn't do enough to bag a few

Hardly a screaming mob is it ffs

 

Stop being hysterical

 

If starting Wilbraham in order to give us a ‘presence up front’ whilst not scoring goals then bringing ALF off the bench to get the goals was such an obvious plan then why the fuck did he wait until May to try it out?

 

Master plan my arse
