Yes. Tuesday made it inevitable. I see though he is thought to have decided before last weekend. I can respect this decision. Now we can say that as a man he has done extraordinarily well to last this long even if as a football manager to do so may have damaged his career. And he does deserve the club's thanks for aspects of his tenure.
I can't be hypocritical- if we do move forward with the takeover this could be very good news but for his sake I think he left it about a year too late.

Whites will be pleased, but not all was down to PP. He was after all, an employee.
No excuse for not attending now. He's gone.

What on earth is this about:-
A spokesperson for Bolton Wanderers Football Club said this evening: "The club has received the notice of resignation from manager Phil Parkinson and assistant manager Steve Parkin and the matter is being considered."
What is there to consider?

I did post that very question david and then edited it, 'cos I thought that I was way off. I added that I thought it may have t do with "a rolling contract", something which whites brought up some time ago. I thought if there was a rolling contract, then they may have some kind of hold on him.

All the talk is about Jimmy Phillips, Julian Darby, Spooner and McCann taking over.
Where is David Lee?
Have I missed something about him?

A little comment on things that are said and what we should believe:-
Oztumer apparently had an ankle injury and would be out for a few weeks so couldn't play for us.
Lo and behold he starts for Charlton tonight. Miracle recovery?

I am delighted. Although the "matter is being considered" haunts me.
The only bad thing I thing, for me, is that is may signify that any takeover but particularly the FV is no where near now or maybe even off the table completely. As im sure PP had an understanding with them.
I just had to turn the radio off with them waxing lyrical (iles on talksport) two points made 1. By Marc Iles "PP has an excellent record getting teams out of L1. Myth. Did it twice in 10 years. That is not excellent. 2. From whoever the guy was "PP will be on the favourites at Huddersfield" mmm you really think if Huddesfield or any other championship or league one side wanted PP they would be deterred by him being here. Be very little if any compensation.
Also i do wonder what has prompted this now. I mean it could have been any day since March but is it emerged that he was the driving force in abandoning the match? Is there been a bit of mutiny with the squad that were willing to play? Have new owners responded negatively to him, after all i see a heavy point deduction again which will seal our fate.
Or has Whites63 letters finally arrived at Chez Parkinson.

Said at the time Josh Magennis will take flack but least i respect him for not feigning injury and insulting the fans intelligence.

Or maybe the takeover is near and he has been told there will be a change?

Get in at long last the bloke has been impeccable at driving fans away with his hoof ball, but I will say and have said before he's has handled himself with dignity through out his three years with us. I wonder if when the dust has settled he has a little bit more to say. I will be at the Ipswich game on Saturday and a lot more. COYWM

Only just seen the news and read all the whining reports on the BN site. Made me feel sick actually. I’m delighted obviously, this is the first piece of good news we’ve had for ages and hopefully it signifies a new start for us under new management. Actually, I can’t say I’m surprised. His recent outbursts have been uncharacteristic of him and it’s obvious the pressure was building on him. I’m surprised actually that he’s stayed so long but certainly nobody can deny his fortitude under what must have been intolerable conditions. For that I 100% agree he deserves respect but at the end of the day he is employed for on field activity and for me he has failed miserably on that. Hopefully if the sale is concluded soon, we can get a new more positive manager to take us forward but best of all is that I can now return in good heart to watching games and hopefully coming out satisfied rather than wanting to slit my throat. I do though wish Phil well and hope he gets fixed up with a new club and if he proves me wrong I’ll salute him but oh boy I am pleased he’s gone.

Not sure what the Bolton News comments section has turned into. A man has left his job, its like Princess Diana with all the tributes.
One obituary after the other. Theres a helpline people can ring if theyre struggling to come to terms.
Wouldn't mind most positive comments come with the caveat "yeah he was usless or yes it was the dullest football weve ever seen but such dignity in the man.
If my window cleaner left streaks and bird muck on the windows I wouldnt care if he showed loyalty for the area. Hes gone!
Even this season when hes been on a free pass ive disagreed with his decisions like bringing back Lowe as captain. Should not have happened.
I would be saying to the players. Yeah they're older but guess what? they're at thier peak and thier level is L1. They'll bully you but cant live with your pace and if they try the rough bully tactics thats them showing they cant match you.
And even if it went badly then its a learning curve so next game when they try it on you wont be as intimidated.
Whether or not i believed that or not i wouldnt be in the papers about my open letters trying to cancel a game!
No real animosity for PP but this martyrdom doesnt sit right for me.
