Just an update on a stat I gave a while back.
Parkys had 72 games in the championship with us. Doesnt know hiss best 11. Think he knows he likes his 4-2-3-1. But think the real key to that is that the 3 need to be creative. He wont sacrafice workanship for flair.
Anyway 72 games.
Win percentage less than 21%, loss percentage over half 51% and goal difference of -56 and thats including a purple patch at the start of the season, which now looks decades ago.
After Lennon I would say our assets were Clough £6M, Holding £2M, Vela £3M and Madine £1M. (Funny how that didnt work out right order) Assets at stands Alnwick £500K, Pawel O £500K, Ameobi/Vela £300k?
none for the future. No potential. No trying to bring anyone through. Just happy to stick 11 6 foot plus 35 years out and let the next man worry about it when the ship goes down.
If Ken thinks by keeping Parky until he gets a sale or until next season when it will be free its a dumb move.
We will go down under Parky. The Betfreds and Kia sponsors will go. The investors will wait for admin and the squad will either retire "thanks for the extra year and the top up. Feet up time" and then we will be left with 16 kids all not ready for league one!

Brilliant to read today's article in BN about what Super John thinks. Just what all of us have been saying for 2 years. Give me strength. When, if ever will Parky change and learn from his mistakes? I think it very unlikely.

We could go down 6-0 again at Bristol City tonorrow without a shot and no onr will even be questioning Parky due to Kens antics.
Hes cleared the way for him. However as per his email PP has had the say on every signing weve made. IF true someone has to be accountable for our transfer policy.

You'd keep yours if your job depended on it grud. As long as he tows the line he's safe as houses. I used to also think it was dignity but now I just think its cowardice and for that he gets no respect from me I'm afraid.

Me neither. During the strike he was absent. When it came to Novembers wages it was players on the conference call.
He keeps schtum because he knows he would be out of work with any other owner.
Nothing for me excuses the shoddy tactics weve seen this season. Ken is public enemy now so sacking PP would just make a martyr of him. If Parky walked away amid all this then he can get his excuses in for his next club.
He has to know that its not a long project. Hes on the last few furlongs of his contract(whatever thats worth).
Is a chance if he goes he would get another job at this level.

It’s a great point you make their OooM, Ken would come up trumps with some if he did sack the ‘dignified but useless’ Parkhoofson, but I’m fairly confident that Bradford and many other lower league teams will welcome him, but certainly no other Championship club, nor and top 4 L1 clubs either. I would love to see Kenny Jackett here and I do think we missed a trick with maybe even Nathan Jones when he was under the radar as I do think he’s an emerging coach. Bad move for Stoke mind as they’ll have greater expectations than our supporters would have!

Parky is not a championship manager I don't care how many people say he is,he just has not got the know how to manage at championship level. So do we hang on till the end of the season knowing we are going down and safe the money for players to get us back up. I'm at a loss as to what to say or think anymore COYWM

I think we're all totally frustrated Chip. It seems perfectly clear that however bad it gets and it's getting worse quickly, Anderson has no intention of sacking Parky. I actually think his frustration showed earlier in the season when his " action will be taken" comment was made but following which things have just got worse and no action has been taken. Obviously other things are taking up Kens time and money so he basically hasn't the resources to sack him even if he did want to. Personally I believe Ken has now accepted we're going down and is making plans for next season. Hopefully this won't include Parkinson and Co with his contract running out but it wouldn't surprise me if Ken still retained him on the basis he got us out last time. For me that would be the last resort and would finish me completely with Wanderers so fingers crossed it won't.

Heres another stat that astounds me, but when i think doesnt at all surprise me.
In the whole of 2018 we did not win a league match by two clear goals. Since weve got promoted we have managed that feat just once.
I get that you get the same amount of points for a 1-0 or 2-1 as you do for 3 or 4 nil but an indication that we cannot see a game out, control a game, kill of a team and generally better an opponent.
Cant be many teams with golden stats like this.

Given takeover talk and a vacancy at bradford was wondering what Phil should do next. Heard a lot of people ask why anyone woukd walk away from a contract.
Will new people keep parky on? Almost certainly not. If they pay him full and put him on garden leave then he couldnt get another job. Is his stock so high he could get back straight in next year?
Is he confident in his own ability. Worst case the takeover collapses and hes got a disgruntled squad and no chance of survival.
Suppose Ken could try and wangle some compo off Bradford or in return not pay the due bonus in exchange.
He went from even money favourite to 2nd behind Gary Bowyer. Thats worrying.

I understand that Bradford themselves are struggling financially OM so for Parky it might be an out of the frying pan situation? Given how safe he is under Anderson, he probably thinks staying put is the best option until something definite is confirmed. It seems that everyone outside of Bolton, thinks he's been badly done to and the poor results have been down to lack of resources and off field issues, rather than his not being up to the job, so he probably thinks he will have no problem getting another job if he is finished. Besides that I actually think he believes he's done a great job under the circumstances so why would he consider a swap with Bradford? The only positive for it is the fact that the old CEO who was there when Parky was therepreviously has now returned, so you never know do you?

Deluded Parky has been back in the headlines this week. I cannot believe he has the bareface cheek and that there are half a dozen on the mainland who are defending him.
How i see it:
PP, if not the worst manager ive seen, is certainly the least ambitious.
Cup runs? Does one win count as a run?
59 players brought in. Majority from same or higher league. None of Parkys signings sold for any money. (Some saying PP had no say in these, all kens signings. Yet Ken said recruitment was a disaster and hes not one for self loathing)
He talks about team spirit and great group of lads. 3 player strikes in a season on his watch. Remember Colin Todd quit after Frandsen was sold. Allardyce left after not being given the budget.
When we beat Rotherham PP said "I was told Jason lowe was a better full back" he played full back maybe once after that. Thats not a reason we failed just an example of his nonsensical comments.
The actual stats we know least goals, least wins, worst goal difference etc.
Essentially we stayed up last season, with kitchen sink stuff against a team on their holidays despite being all but safe in March, his best ever finish so we had a punchers chance this season. We kept that squad(we gave away a player) but no vultures took our best player. I imagine the wage bill was higher this season than last.
Tinkered all season. Wouldnt know his best 11. Cant use a footballer like Oz. Cost us Vela. Youth leaving. Interested parties are queuing uo for the lads that couldnt get in over Buckley and Donaldson.
In short, yes, Parkinson is rubbish.
