Over in York for a business meeting at a college out in the sticks and who walks in the door but Phil Parkinson his missus and son. Had a nice chat. Strange old world.

I’m not on about his work just saying his interviews are boring like a beaten man at times

He comes across ok to me, pragmatic.

Couldn't he learn a few magic tricks or summat?

 

Not just making a two goal lead disappear...

Mounts,

Did you ask him why he sold Madine because if it wasn't for that we would've easily been mid table last year

He’s got the weirdest Chorley accent ever

He was born in Chorley but soon moved down South with his parents, but returned North to Stockton-On-Tees aged 8, (living in Hartburn) and was scouted by Southampton for their Gateshead Centre of Excellence.

Southampton have a Gateshead centre of excellence?

They did under McMenemy - hence Shearer, (Parkinson), etc

All change now

There’s nothing at all that is excellent in Gateshead apart from the Central pub.

hope He was more interesting than his boring match interviews

 

Entertaining? He's not a song and dance man. 

 While I doubt there are rules to quoting folk on here, you may need to accept that when someone writes "interesting" and you respond quoting them, it's very difficult to take you seriously when you change their word to "entertaining" in order to make a point. Just saying.

we could do with going on a poor run

 

hes going to be in demand

Mod wannabe.

He'll have to get in the queue behind Gonzo, he's next in line

Wonderful let’s get someone in who’s entertaining in interviews but hasn’t got a clue how to manage, how about someone like Holloway, or perhaps bring Owen back. FFS.

Apologies if I over reacted I guess your happy with his managerial qualities then. ????

I’m openly not his biggest fan, however so far he’s done a tremendous job this season and bought some very good additions

Edited September 3, 20187 yr by radcliffe white

What do you want from him? He has done a remarkable job with zero money.

Just looking around League 1 teams and the list of our ex-players really shows how good a job he has done for us.

Howard,Spearing,Clayton,Feeney,Trotter,Pratley,Clough,Wilbraham,Cullen,Henry,Long etc...

Neither Holloway not Coyle are very interesting in interviews.

Holloway, McCarthy, Strachan & Di Canio are all examples of people who think they they are interesting and entertaining in interviews  -  Some people like to refer to them as "characters" but who the fuck wants a character as a manager?

 

Coyle, whilst an equally shit manager, at least didn't always try and be funny in interviews like the above lot

Chris Evans will be available.

Hardly entertaining, mind

Cunt needs to learn how to juggle or i am sending season tickets back.

Managers aren't allowed to juggle with more than one club!

Wonder if Bradford fans miss Parky being boring ?
