Parky is a decent bloke and certainly not a cunt. 

Unfortunately none of that makes him good enough to manage in the Championship. His record at a lower level is fine but it is time for a total clear out and he needs to move on. 

This.

These aren't normal excuse finders. these are people who have gone for many years.

I will agree to disagree.

Parkinson is bobbins and would have gone if people had money / inclination to sack him.

As a Parkinson fan, I wish he had been sacked months back

Then I could prove it wasn't just him who couldn't get a tune out of Buckley, no-one, Donaldson and magennis

Sams football always fitted the players he had. He was only forced down a route when he wasn’t able to sign replacements for Anelka etc because by then many others, including Mouriniho at Chelsea, were doing the same thing and winning titles and cups.

His football was always good to watch as it got results and we weren’t the turgid shitstorm we are now and have been for last 10yrs.

And he didn’t leave us for Newcastle.

He didn't need to replace Anelka

He had only had him bought for him 6 months before

Think you need to re think that statement 

will write the last 3 months off fair enough 

 

Let's not forget the players first strike was last July

Anyway, dunno why I'm bothered

While I think we won't get owt better than him unless big bucks come in, I'm happy we have a team for now

Like I said weeks ago bigger things going on than Parkinson

They wouldn’t get in the team. 

Sadly, I’m only half joking. 

No problems with Parky as a bloke but regardless of the players at his disposal, his selections and tactics drove me bonkers all season and that's why I'd like to see someone else have a go.

Nobody else would have tried to get a tune out of Buckley or Donaldson, they wouldn't have started any games. Oztumer would have had some chances and ALF would still be here. Amongst other things too numerous to mention.

ALF wouldn’t still be here. He’d seen the writing on the wall and fucked off somewhere he could get a decent pay cheque paid on time

It seems a bit of a coincidence that the 1 player every bolton player wanted in the team that wasn't, was the only one concerned enough about wages to engineer a move.

You just need to watch the highlights

You will realise you are wrong

Again

Anelka was always using us as a stepping stone, so you really think for one minute he would stay till his career finished. It was always going to be a revolving door arrangement that we benefited from massively.

You said he left cos he wasn't able to replace him

I think?

 

We were fucking awful against Forest, Ameobi was shameful.

I’d take a look at Craig Noone for the Colls, rest of them wouldn’t get a sniff.

Forgive me for not understanding what point you're making but I haven't a clue what you're trying to say?

 "the 1 player every bolton player wanted in the team that wasn't"

"the only one concerned enough about wages to engineer a move"

Yeah I know that but it was the other stuff that he was saying

Liverpool fans suggesting a pre season friendly against us in July to help us raise £400k 

Nice tough, it’s a bit like Live Aid 

Hopefully they don’t come on here and read the ‘today’s game’ thread
