Just watched Norwich v Ipswich and that is what the passion of a derby match should be!
Our so-called derby against Preston was totally devoid of any passion but these two put everything into the game.
And also, Ipswich are a much better side than us. They may have lost 3-0 but they competed very well and could have got something out of the match if they had a striker.
We have nowhere near as much passion or skill as Ipswich showed.

Recycling old arguments here but relegation is something 3 teams will have to deal with and given that Wigan and Blackburn were better equipped it was always going to be a tough ask. But like Nigel Clough showed there is a right way to go down.
When will it sink in with Phil that change is needed and to start to prepare a team for next year. For me that means having a meeting and finding out if any are prepared to sign contracts (at reduced rate.) For anyone not prepared to sign I would swap them for David Lee players and ask if they want to cancel contracts and find a new club for the season.

Just my Tuppence Ameobi would have been more useful playing in goal ! Sammi had and still has the ability to play premiership football. That hes played in league one for us says everything about his aptitude. Can normally suss after 6 mins whether Sammi is up for it and these days its usually no.

We keep talking about only keeping Parky until the takeover happens but the takeover might not happen and certainly hasn't shown any sign of it being imminent. So that means we could be stuck with him indefinitely and certainly beyond any hope of retaining our Championship status. I keep trying to think how Anderson sees it because one thing he isn't is stupid. One win in 21 games and no sign of any change or improvement in that, certainly not with the run of games coming up. Rapidly declining gates and falling revenue by customer dissatisfaction. I accept he doesn't have the cash to pay him off but I really can't see why the option of gardening leave isn't progressed. Surely he must be aware of the dissatisfaction of supporters and the desire for change and if he knows anything about football at all, that Parkinson is lacking in any kind of ability to turn things round. However much respect he has for the way Parky has handled things he must surely accept that what happens on match days is paramount. Maybe he genuinely does think Parky can turn it around in which case I believe he's losing his marbles. The silence from him just makes things worse. Either he is backing Parky come what may or he isn't and either way he should come out and tell us which it is instead of skulking away to the sunshine and leaving us all, including Parkinson and the players, in the state of despair we are in at the moment.

Was thinking the exact same Whites. Why not ban Phil from training ground and put on gardening leave? Would have to assume that hes sounded out David Lee, Tony Kelly, Jimmy and Julian. Probably Alan Houghton and Lofty too and all have said no.
If Mark Warburton, as rumoured, wants the job i cannot see for the life of me why hes not in charge. "You can take training monday if you pay Phils contract up jobs yours. If youre nor prepared to pay ill stick Parky on gardening leave and put you in charge still but wages will be down to your backers".
I like you Whites dont think Ken is a mug. I think hes let the club slip. Think over Novemeber and Xmas hes been guilty of burying his head or just given up but think Ken knows his way around a spreadsheet and when he sees ticket sales, merchandise, matchday food and parking money all at records low he will know exactly what needs to happen.
In all honesty if Ken wanted to be proactive why not email a survey. Have you stayed away? Why? Would you come back? What you buy a season ticket? Why not?
Pretty sure he would get a majority of fans telling him we have had it but we are open to coming back. New manager and fresh ideas would do it. I personally would give a deposit on a season ticket next year with a few guarantees or give to Parkinsons severance deal.
Just want him gone. This is two years on.

The problem is OM, I believe Anderson does see it and I don't think he needs a survey to tell him why we are dissatisfied. Surely he must know better than anybody how far revenue has fallen and why, yet he continues to do nothing about it. Numerous managers have lost their jobs this season after far less worse performances than Parky, yet Ken does nothing about it with him. All managers know they are judged on results so surely it shouldn't come as a shock to PP if he was sacked or garden leaved. For such a businessman and particularly one who needs every penny he can get in just to survive, it absolutely astounds me that he does nothing about the primary cause. Maybe it's me that's going loopy but I just can't make any sense out of Anderson's inaction.

I’m very surprised our plight has not been picked up on SkySports, TalkSport, Football Focus EFL on Quest🤔😬etc because Ken Anderson and Phil Parkhoofson are quite insular to the problem. Maybe a bit of TV coverage might do is the world of good⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Our own media wont criticise Parky so why would Sky care.
