First home game of the season today. Always been a parky backer but we were shocking. No shape, no plan, no idea, I cant see anything othar than sack him. Too slow to react to obvious deficiencies, got to go.this is his team, but time will not improve them. Stay or go?

I'm sure he's a nice guy and i hate o see anyone lose their job but lets face it if we cant get a win against Exeter , Tranmere and Dagenham then there is something really wrong.
Unfortunately if he does go I can see us having doubts about a new manager. Have said similar in the match thread. Don't see what the answer is. Parky can do a decent or even good job, but we need a manager to do a fantastic job. There's huge pressure here while we're losing money and unlike most other clubs our ground costs far more to maintain. Clubs like Brighton aren't under the same sort of pressure to be promoted this season.
Really do not want Kinsella or Chris Powell, they are not ready/too inexperienced and fear their reputations could be tarnished. If we are going to change manager then I think we need an external and experienced appointment.
What does worry me is Parky seems to lack the necessary motivational qualities, he does not inspire confidence imho. However I do not think he will be leaving anytime soon and am not completely anti Parky, the players have been good enough to win the last 4 games but have turned in very average performances (Notts County we were lucky).
Chris Coleman?
ronnie moore he wont break the bank either
Agree. As much as I love Kinsella it needs to be someone completely new and their team. Parkinson was part of Pardews set up and thats never sat well with me as i have always thought logically PP would have had some input or at least been able to identify what was wrong. It has been almost like the hangover from those dark days.
Fair point and would be more sensible than clearing everyone out. As long as any contract offers were based on "positive results" rather than the results pp was apparently judged on in securing the gig.
Whilst I dont think PP is right for us he seems a decent bloke with a fair bit of integrity and i wouldnt be suprised if he walks before xmas if results dont pick up and put his hands up and realising although he's tried his best here its just not come off.
How do you know he's not management material ?
Do it now while there's still time to turn it around.
I see it as simply as this, but there's no convincing some...
Parky has probably built as good a squad as could be expected, considering the lack of resources available... This is a major factor, often dismissed too easily by some when analysing his worth...
Murray's objective this season was to give us a team that would be "competitive" and to fit the required tight budget.. Parky's given us both, hasn't he...?
Nobody told us we would walk this league.
Lennie ?
But we have barely been competitive against some very poor sides.
What happens when we play at Southampton , Wednesday and Peterboro??
playing well for twenty minutes in matches against Tranmere and Dagenham is just NOT good enough.
It's not about the quality of the squad that's in question as I'm sure most will agree , we have some good players, its motivation and tactics that's the problem.
No trying to dig anyone out but what were/are our expectations? Dominating for 90 minutes? Creating 20 chances a game?
Who knows?? We'll probably be competitive with the squad we have on the required budget..
Some of those clubs you mentioned are still holding onto the type of quality players, we have long lost sight of....
True but answer this. Do you think we will avoid defeat at Hillsborough or St Mary's playing like we are?
I'm sure they are , which makes it all the more important that we do something positive before they get out of their slumps.
I know it is the done thing hereabouts to wait until we are in the Blue Square Premier or whatever before we are allowed to voice any concern, but whether it is just bad luck or whatever, this clearly isn't working out and I fail to be able to see a time when it ever will. I just don't think he is capable of taking this club anywhere but further down. I honestly just want someone else to be making the decisions about the team now. It may just give us the lift we need. It may not. But at least we would be trying to do something about it, rather than acting like a condemned man not trying to escape from his jail cell.
Christ, I need to get to the pub before the idea of putting my head in the oven starts to look like a more appetising way of spending a Saturday night....
Apologies for the brainfart, but I just needed to get this off my chest, I suppose.
