I see the appointment as a gamble. I don't think I would have brought him in in the first place.
But he brings some positives,
the majority of the Championship players have backed him, it's only the newbies who haven't said much to wanting Parker as manager (not that they say much usually), but are the likes of Angussia & Seri willing to drop down and stick with us.
You would hope that he'll be able to assess the youth players a lot better, unlike Slavisa who seemed oblivious to what we had coming through and let a lot leave without assessing them.
I expect him to be a tracksuit coach, unlike Ranieri who seemed a match day impact manager, with inspirational?? speeches !!! media friendly phrases.
I'd hope he'll have some clout with being a 'manager' a few players will want to join us for, with his numerous clubs he might have contacts and know agents that will get players.
On the down side
He is inexperienced, does he really have the tactics to turn us around, and the honeymoon period may quickly turn sour if results fail in the first few months. I'm wondering if a 'Father' figure will brought in to over see things leaving him to be the Coach. I'm no fan of our present transfer structure.
Is he a coach who is OK with being giving Players who might not be his choice (Kit Symons) or will he eventually get frustrated with the quality (Jokanovic) being signed.
Will he be given time or is he going to use us as a stepping stone to a bigger club (but at least that would mean he'd have done well for us).
