We’ve become a more stable investment under his ownership. However fans will always view results on the pitch as a marker of success for any club.
There is a lot of work to do within the non playing side of the business however basic strides have been made in that regard.
On the playing side a lot is still not functioning properly- from recruitment to academy to U23s
Parkinson isn’t the manager to put a club identity in place and that is the main concern for me. League One is the place to do it as if and when we get in the Championship we are on the merry go round - don’t think there is a more short-termist league in the world. The top boys build a squad to get promotion and then usually fuck 90% of player off when they get it.
However I’d give SD a solid B.
i agree with you on alot of points, the only thing i'd say is it's really concerning how many really (supposedly) promising youngsters seem to be flooding out to other clubs. maybe it happens at every club below the elite few and we just don't hear about it (cuz i couldn't care less about any other club) maybe it's out of or control and would be happening anyway, maybe we're doing all in our power to keep them. it's just a concern and without knowing how much we're to blame i can't really give out a decent grade, we just don't know enough.
