I can't really agree with that theory as he would have the same financial problems in League One. He in fact has set up the club to go forward in this division, while taking all the cash flow brickbats, but Parkinson is letting him down very badly with his awful team selections and bad organisation. It is a pity Ken doesn't have the cash to fire him.

I needto be persuaded that KA has any plan at all. All the evidence inducates that he planned to sell the club quickly and take his profit. Unfortunately for him he could not find a buyer. He is now stuck. The creditor pressure is building, he was able to manage it early doors by paying just in time. He may be able to do this again, but the amounts have risen. What is clear is that he does not give a jot about the reputation of the club, or the standard of football. PP is a one trick pony, one up front, two wingers playing on the wrong side to cut in, and three at the back. It failed and continues to fail, despite wins with two strikers and wingers on the right side putting in crosses, with four at the back he again and again reverts to his only plan. His team selection amazes me and I am sure most other supporters. Have a good game, you will be dropped to allow one of his favourites a start. I could go on, but what good would it do? KA will not change, PP will not change, so we wait for changes to happen, probably administration, then perhaps we regulars can put our faith in the management and perhaps others will be attracted back and new supporters found. But in the meantime we have what we have.

Grud, I have to say that the only reason we are not going forward is PP. You failed to say what would happen if Ken wasn't using all his wideboy skills to juat keep us afloat. It is true that the club should never have been in his hands, but it is and we seem to have to live with it unless we can buy him out. Can you ?

I know Phil has unpaid bonuses but i dont get the cant afford to sack him. He has a wage.
Hes contracted so he will get the wage if he stays or goes. So we can put him on gardening leave and if he decides to secure another club in that meantime then the payments stop.
Question would be can he afford to bring someone else in. No is tbe answer so think its David Lee/Phillips or stick with PP.
One thing Ken has said in his email that Pp has had say on each and every signing. If Ken does feel he has given sufficent backing then Parky has to go. Simple as that.

Despite Kens assurance I still can't accept that Oz was a Parky signing. It seemed odd to me at the time, so completely outside a Parky type player and what has happened since has only confirmed that. Was Doidge another non Parky signing, again not a Parky type player? I'm sure Parky would have agreed them but I don't for a minute believe he chose them. The whole thing is in turmoil and I can't see that changing in the short term I'm afraid since we can't get rid of either.

Grud still hasn't answered my question how he could change things.It is one thing being a rabid supporter, but another being a proprietor who inherited a bankrupt company. I repeat that he shouldn't have taken it on, but might have been completely successful with better football performances. (There wasn't all this self-righteous belly-aching when we got out of League One at the first attempt ezxcept about PP towards the end of the season). I believe many of the players have joined us under strained circumstances they knew about, and know from experience they will eventually get their thousands. Let us not forget that footballers earning more in a month than many others annually are a privileged group and need to show loyalty to us the fans, and I believe they are doing, albeit badly used and directed, a point which W63 has been making all along, He was right about Megson, and his successors and complained only at the right time as he is now doing about PP.

After the Walsall game people(and i even said myself) said we would revert to type. In all honesty i never thought PP would be so pigheaded to go back.
Its just nonsensical. Noone ran the show. Hes out of position again. Chance for Hall or Connor. Puts Dyer on bench. No Oz. (Hull was all his fault. Bye oz. He will be off on loan somewhere)
There are a lot of things Parky cannot do anything about. But i dont think anyone can argue that he is getting the best of any individual or the team on the whole.
And i dont think you can say a new man wont change. I think the difference would be night and day. Left wingers on left wing. Right on right. Try and work on set pieces again. Try and pass the ball to a guy in the same coloured shirt.

Actually, Ken, it seemed to me that Noone played on the left rather more again. The problem was that he, along with the rest of the team, was totally ineffective. For me, Ameobi, played as a supplementary full back for much of the game, was the most obviously out of position.
I just don’t understand a coach who sets up a team to play with around 25-35% possession and stuffs it with ‘soft’ players ( Buckley, Noone, Ameobi and Murphy) all of whom add little when we don’t have the ball and , perhaps Ameobi aside, have few skills or appetite to win it back.
Doidge having left, we are very short up top, but I still believe we have the squad to svoid relegation in a desperately poor lower half of the Championship. All we need is a new broom. And soon.

Iles said that Noone played through the middle and was moved to the left after 85m or so and put in two decent crosses. Would Iles dare question this tactic? No. Get the dictaphone out, press record and print whatever garbage Parky spouts week in week out. Even yesterday Sky Sports correspondent "bolton have not been able to put two passes together. They have not got out of their half" Parkys version. Played well bar the opening 5 mins of the 2nd half? And got better throughout. Again as with Millwall and Sheff Weds the opponents described as not having a good day. If i was PP right now i would see this as the perfect time to press eject and get out whilst perception is "dignified, hard working manager cannot keep doing this" Instead of "limited, inambitious boremonger not prepared to admit hes at fault"

Well, Ken, I can only comment on what I saw. We had absolutely no forward movement at all until the last few minutes when, in typical Parky style, we were chasing the game. The lead was totally against the run of play and the result of monumental bungling by their defender. As I said earlier, with 30% possession, the likes of Noone, Buckley, Murphy and to a slightly lesser extent Ameobi add nothing. None of them are classic playmakers, who can hold the ball and set up attacks and we simply gift the ball back to the opposition. I don’t think it can be much fun to play this style and I do think that there are signs of tensions in the camp. The idea that Parky is a good man manager is also coming under doubt for me.

Listened to the first hour out walking, the wind and rain were pleasant relief from the familiar reports of little or no possession, poor passing and general lack of attacking nous. Bristol had hit the bar a couple of times and seemed to have been profligate in front of goal before the Wanderers took the lead against the run of play...could this be "one of those games " for City? Optimism was quickly shattered as the THREE immediate substitutions engineered the turnaround that their domination justified, and the Whites would drop to second from bottom.... still, only high-scoring West Brom up next. Watching the EFL show they again highlighted the number of youngsters on view in the Leeds -Derby game, and Adam Armstrong was involved in one goal and scored the other in Blackburn's victory...at a number of clubs it seems that youngsters are often seen to add positivity and excitement both on and off the field, but none of our youngsters are deemed ready for a place on the bench in a league campaign that has seen so many players struggle with demoralising regularity. It would obviously be a risk to plunge youngsters into the team set up as it is, and perhaps some of them are better served by lower league loan moves but I would rather see fresh young faces given the opportunity to help improve on field performances and hopefully galvanise support in the stands.... I realise the ploy backfired spectacularly at Ashton Gate a couple of seasons ago but the experience didn't appear to do Rob Holding any harm, and there seems little else to try given current circumstances.
