it ain't simple.
I don’t like Phil Parkinson. I didn’t want him appointed. In particular I don’t like the recruitment, especially in the all important striker area - O’Brien & Graham. Only signing that’s been successful is Bailey. Scowen - may be a small improvement. Lots crowding up the physio room. What really gets me is his refusal to play our promising young players, or give them a chance as subs. Only Diamond has been on the bench, and only when there's space because other 'senior pros' are out.
I wouldn't appoint him if there was vacancy tomorrow. But should we sack him now?
Make no mistake, the options for a new manager will be as limited as last time. There could hardly be a 'new manager bounce'. Win a few games? We're doing that already!!! Probably the other way round, as players need time to adjust to new methods. And any new manager would be working with the same squad, a squad built for Parkinson's 3 at the back + wingbacks. A new manager would have the same 'glittering' options up front.
There will be hardly any signings in January. Even if a multibillionaire buys us out, what could he do? We are very close to wage cap, (we'd be miles over it if the wages of players under contract before August counted their full amount and not just the £1.7kpw average). So we can't buy without selling. And we can't sell, because no other club in this league could match the wages our players are actually on, not with their wage cap. If anything we could lose Denver Hume, possible O9. And they'd have to replaced with players on £1.7kpw or less.
PP has us 4th in the table by points per game, and the current 2.1 ppg rate would almost certainly give us automatic promotion if we can maintain it. xG stats show it is not luck. We are usually good defensively, despite a mediocre keeper.
Going up is by no means a certainty, but we do stand a good chance of achieving it this season under PP. So (holding my nose) keep him.
PP in. At least until the end of the season, or this season goes wrong so that promotion is not feasible.
All I care about is that he’s as far away from transfer business as humanly possible. He’s been pretty much as bad as Hill and Coton - and I didn’t think that was possible.Apparently Parky got till January under new owners.
Largely agree. There are better managers readily available. Whether it’s worth the potential for instability while we keep ticking on is another matter, though. He keeps the job till the team falter for me.it ain't simple.

Again it’s the only answer at this moment in timeit ain't simple.

Better to ask if/when we get new owners. It's a waste of time, including mine replying to you.
Better question to ask is; "who would we want as manager if a new owner has a 50 million war chest to get us back at the top of the championship?"
