Old news but good luck to Parky, will never have a bad word to say about him.0

Scouting roles don't pay very much do they?
Francis to Arsenal?0 -
Seconded.[cite]Posted By: I-SAW-POUSO-PLAY[/cite]Good luck to Parky, will never have a bad word to say about him.0 -
i thought parkys attempt to keep us up in the championship was absolutley pathetic but the rest of his tenure was reasonable, excluding his handling of jonjo and yes he was a nice man0

No, only expenses. Unless you are the Chief Scout or Youth Development Officer. They are usually full time.
Some clubs used to pay a bonus on signings you may have discovered. Not sure if thats the case these days.0 -
Bit of a come down to go from managing a club to scouting for boys for Arsene.0

Excluding strikers, McOxo and Francis he's pretty decent at spotting a player. I wish him well.0

But including Puncheon and the other players he wanted but couldn't sign.
You can't judge a manager's ability to spot talent only on who he actually signs when he's working under severe financial constraints.
He wasn't perfect, he made mistakes but he found some gems too.
And he can't be all that bad if Steve Rowley, properly the most respected and longest serving Chief Scout in England, has recruited him.0 -

I'll ring Phil and ask him : - )0 -
Surely the most pointless job in football. As if Wenger is going to sign any young talent from up north. They only sign youngsters if they're French, african, poached from Barca or already a young star (Walcott, Ramsey)0

Chris, you're right about Wenger and I think they're trying to balance it a bit. Arsenal have always been shrewd in their investments, Parky has looked
at so many games when he was with us that he's bound to have developed an eye for a bargain.
Before I trigger an uproar, for those of us who are sceptic about his 'bargains', remember the budget he was given to bring in players was ZILCH.
He did find a few players with nothing so altough we have a lot to say about his coaching, give him some credit for that. Might even end up being a
top scout, best of luck to him if info is correct.0 -

We have had 2 decent players at our club in the last 2 years - Jonjo who Parky didn't think was good enough for League1 but was signed by Liverpool and Jenkinson who is off to Arsenal but we spent money on Francis instead of playing him - he must have a great eye for a player...good luck to Arsenal is what i say0 -
they deserve each other0
