    Would be surprised if he ended up at Bolton. He comes from Chorley.

    Couldn't find out anything about their investors aside from a name and that they are German.

    Will feel sorry for Parky if he's replaced by this German Consortium

    Will be the second time its happened after he was replaced when Slater and Jiminez came in

    He's doing ok at Bradford, a play off side with ambitions of promotion. League one is definitely his best level for management.

    I think Parky has the ability to manage in the Championship, unfortunately the main clubs he's managed in League One are Colchester / Charlton / Bradford have all had small budgets so he's not really had much to work with.
    Charlton and Bradford weren't small budgets. I bet the budget at Burton was far smaller

    At Charlton, there was the issue with many of the former Championship players we were stuck with being on very high wages for the L1 (thanks Pardew)

    Eh...? - We almost went into Admin with Parky and all he had to work with at times were Non-Contract offers

    I agree he didn't have much money to bring in players, but throughout his time the likes of Semedo, Racon, Bailey (for the 1st season), Burton, Rob Elliott(?) etc would have been on very good wages when compared with other L1 players. There are a lot of very small clubs in L1

    Interesting to read how they're maintaining 18,000 season tickets. I presume they took a different path to the 'piss off the customers' one trod by our lot?

    Seem a competantly run football club. Unlike our advert for car crash TV.

    This is correct, our big signings were all freebies or ageing.

    Our big signing we missed out on as we went into 'due dilligence' one season and lost out on a player we were going to pay around £100,000 for...
    Jason Puncheon.

    Proved to have questionable judgement though.

    Season Tickets throughout ground were about £200.

    Match ticket for the playoffs was £15. Brilliant.

    Had a decent budget at Hull when he was there.

    Not £500 you mean? ;-)
  • rikofoldrikofold
    Seriously though, £189 throughout the ground and 18000 season tickets, or our pricing structure and 7000 if you're lucky? 18000 fans will not only make a difference to the team performance, but it's 18000 people to buy your pies, pints and merchandise. I'd be interested to see how their finances perform compared to ours.

    What if the question was "name a former Charlton, Colchester and Hull manager whose first name is Chris and his second name begins with Park ?"

    Still won't be PHIL Parkinson ; - )

    Freudian slip - taken from Chris Freud the famous psychoanalyst.


    Now I'm going to have to work out how to edit

    But given the loud boycott, how many season tickets do you think they'd sell if they were all £150?
