Woeful appointment.
Good luck to the fella, I’ll give him my full backing. Until we’re 1-0 down on Saturday at least.


2 promotions in 16 seasons. So no not really.

Wasn’t one of them a Colchester team that had the best player in the league at the time

Every thread has you defending him saying how fantastic he is

Don't be silly.

Who was that?

Tommy Orpington

You speak as though that’s a factual statement. It’s not. It’s just your opinion. My opinion is that he is not as good as Ross, and I wanted Riss gone.

It's a fact that PP has got other clubs out of this league, and has loads of experience of the English leagues, unlike Ross.

Now that the dust has settled, I think it’s a steady appointment. I wanted Stendel but I’m happy enough with Parkinson. Hopefully some investment follows in due course.

So did Grayson - means very little imo. Just hope he can motivate the player to get the extra 15% as he stated in his press conference... THAT is all the team needs. Easier said than done.

Who was that?

Never mind. I forgot Freddie Eastwood and Billy Sharpe was on fire that year

 

[Mr Redknapp]

If he wins 5 in a row, bet you's would be delighted

 

[Gaz]

Welcome to Safc, not my choice and i’m far from convinced but he’s here now so good luck to him

 

[gazc24]

Same with grayson, Coleman and Ross in that I wouldn't have picked them but I'm going to support them and not bitch like a gonk and give them a chance.

 

[Howard the Duck]

Who was it anyway that you were thinking of? I'm genuinely interested.

 

[bomber]

Poor choice,nee chance of top 2 and will struggle to make the POs

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Parky's good at interviews

What's he like for 1-1 draws

 

[Mr Redknapp]

What's he like for 1-1 draws

His chat shows never featured them, IIRC.

 

[bahtat]

What's he like for 1-1 draws

Based on his alleged penchant on here for defensive football not very good but we can expect a canny few 1-0 victories

Same guy who text me about Ainsworth being given permission to speak to is has just text me saying Parkinson signed an 18 month contract earlier today and will be announced tomorrow

Nice bit info from yer mate, Phunboy, la. Looks like Parkinson negotiated an extra year onto the length of his contract. Unless it was Donald that wanted him to sign a longer contract? You'd imagine it'd be more likely Parkinson, but whee nars? Anyway, either way, nice info. Thanks for sharing it, marra.

Parky's good at interviews

Handled with his customary aplomb. And a thing I like about him is it's not arl about HIM. He'd be well advised giving owld Warm Leatherette a wide berth, like. And any blokes who stick their mitts up flightless birds' arses....

Who knows, ?
He may do better than Stendel might of.
We'll never know but as long as he does well thats the main thing.
