Common school of thought on the Sunderland forum is that this is because the takeover is about to go through. Proof is in the pudding as we well knowDazzler21 said:

But then he signed most of those players, they had a massive turnover of players in the summer. The salary cap has been a problem for them, it seems that most of their signings were after it came in (7th August)cafcnick1992 said:I'm a bit surprised. I think he'd have got them up with time.
Sunderland's squad really isn't that good.

Interesting that they only have 1 loan signing0 -
Football is an entertainment business and he fails at that.1

Disagree. I’ve been enjoying it. 😉Athletico Charlton said:Football is an entertainment business and he fails at that.5 -
Well Sunderland won't be erecting a statue of him like they did with the last Ex Charlton boss they hired Bob Stokoe.0

Sad but correct decision.
Parkinson was never going to get them promoted this season. Still a good manager who will easily find another job in league 1. I doubt he will be out of work to long.

Dear oh dear. Dreadful decision. Deserves better.0

The Sunderland owner is looking to sell, and has been for months. An OK bit still a bit of a mediocre season's start for the club has probably ensured that Short thinks a new broom might sweep away the bad recent history, get promotion, ensure a sale and put a good few million back in his bank account(s)0

Parkinson is invariably brought into clubs that have limited resources and then gets criticism for them not playing attractive football. He got sacked by Charlton and replaced by Powell who soon discovered how crap the squad was- it had to be rebuilt at the end of that season.

We forget some of the players Parky had to work with- possibly with good reason. Some great names from these squads.

Looking at the squad that Powell had the following season you can see the upgrades..addick1956 said:
Sparky had to make do with Paolo Abbotski and Powell bought in Shaun Wright -Philips for real money within a couple of weeks of joining so not exactly a complete rebuild at the end of the season.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Parkinson is invariably brought into clubs that have limited resources and then gets criticism for them not playing attractive football.

I remember Parky paying for one player in part out of his own money.
Parky inherited a poor team from Pardew and had no money to really build because Pardew spent shed loads on average players.
I wonder what would have happened if he had had any money at Charlton..we will never know.

Of course he knew before taken the job that Sunderland always have high expectations, but being sacked when 5 points off automatic place with a game in hand seems harsh.0

Quite frightening how many bad players we had in some of those squads. I'd forgotten a lot of them.addick1956 said:
Yes, there were more than 10 of them, because Jenkinson was sold for more than a million. However Wright -Philips was a mid season 2 week post Parky Parky upgrade for around £250k.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

How much was Paul Benson ? He relied on Danny Green for assists who ironically never really played with Green at Charlton Benson went to Swindon in Jan 2012 .
Did we pay a fee for Benson?0 -

6 goals in 36 games for Ruch Chorzów didn't quite seem to be enough on that ocassion.
Always have respect for Parky, some absolute shite in those squads.0 -
Bet McGeady isn’t too upset. He’ll get back in there now. All set for his winner against us in the Play Off Final 20210

Don't think we'll bother with the play offs, automatic promotion this time.2
