Deserves a lot of credit for keeping Bolton up given the funding constraints they were under. Amazing job.

Low key personality and loves a v-neck jumper - I think Bowyer is copying him a bit....10

He was. It would have been interesting if he, like Powell had been able to create his own team in the following summer as most of the players he had were ones he'd inherited or brought in with no money.AdTheAddicK said:Liked Parky felt he was harshly treated at Charlton

If you look at the squad he was working with it was pretty desperate yet he got us to the playoffs.killerandflash said:

Harshly treated only in that he was actually given the job after his caretaker stint of about one win in eleven....
Glad he kept them up, Burton are gonna have successive relegations IMO.0 -

Promotions with Colchester Utd, Bradford and Bolton.
Took Bradford to League Cup Final when in League two.
Took Charlton into L1 playoffs with pitiful squad.
I'm not really clear how Bowyer's ten games ìn charge compares? He may do better but it seems a little premature to draw this conclusion.
He got treated harshly at Charlton after taking over from the legend Alan Pardew. I think some on here have forgotten how garbage our squad was - CP got nothing out of them either and we finished 13th after he took over. It's only when the squad was rebuilt that we improved and that required cash.

I cannot answer you for at least five years as I have no idea how Bowyer will compare until then
But my gut feeling is that he will be a better manager than Parkinson.0 -

Ridiculous thing to post really. The chances are that Bowyer will not come close to how well Parky has done.blackpool72 said:

Listening to 5Live last week Bolton fans didn’t sound too impressed with him.0

He has started his career as best manager over first 10 games so he has done quite well so far.iainment said:

And what has this got to do with this thread? Parky did a great job, was harshly treated by us, and proved he is a very good manager.blackpool72 said:

I think there is some rose tinted revisionism going on here - nothing against him personally & delighted for him at Bolton but...........
He was part of the awful Pardew relegation season - he should never have been kept on as caretaker let alone manger aftet that pitiful capitulation that sent us down. 5 points (all draws) from 12 matches after Pardew got the boot - why the hell was he kept on then & also at the end of that appalling season.
It was nice we reached the playoffs the following season but at the time it was our 3rd season after relegation from the Premiership - we were still, relatively speaking a big fish even by Championship standards let alone L1.
So Parky - nice, honest guy & rather him than the gobshite Scouse chancer any day of the week, but decidedly mediocre for us.10 -
And I hope he carries on, at Charlton, like that.1StevieG said:

I don't understand - if Parky getting us to the playoffs having spent £0 is mediocre with Leeds, Southampton and Norwich in the league with premier-league-to-be players is considered mediocre...Oakster said:I think there is some rose tinted revisionism going on here - nothing against him personally & delighted for him at Bolton but...........

His brand of football is atrocious to watch I know that much.3

He was kept on due to his results when he was caretaker. RM said he'd be hired on that basis.Oakster said:I think there is some rose tinted revisionism going on here - nothing against him personally & delighted for him at Bolton but...........

Another well reasoned decision there Richard3 -
Parky was very lucky to be given the job in the first place, based on his dismal results as caretaker manager. It was an odd decision.
However, he was then really unlucky to be sacked after doing a good job in L1. That season we reached the playoffs, we were up against some really good seasons and players, probably one of the best L1 seasons ever if you consider the quality on display. The next season his budget was really restricted, as soon as he was sacked Powell brought BWP in, the sort of striker who could have made all the difference the previous season, when instead we had to rely on mediocre loanees like Mooney, Forster and Sodje.1 -
I believe there was a thread in here somewhere in which many people believed Parkinson produced the worst footballing teams ever seen at CAFC0

He had one of the worst set of players to work with and since he left we've had plenty of other contenders who've produced dreadful football.Man_About_Town said:I believe there was a thread in here somewhere in which many people believed Parkinson produced the worst footballing teams ever seen at CAFC
Parkinson seems to be the sort of manager who clubs employ when they're skint and then moan about the fact that they're not playing expansive football. He does a job and in terms of results has to be judged a success. I kept being told about how attractive our football was under KR but the results weren't attractive.
I thought he did a good job for us in L1 and wasn't treated well - too many on here have forgotten how poor our squad was at the time. I agree the way in which he was given the job after a failed caretaker role was pretty ludicrous especially after RM contradicted himself.
He seems destined to remain a lower league manager who does a job but won't be given money to spend. The football he produces may not be the best to watch but in terms of results he seems to have had some degree of success.
