It's parkinson

[6inarow]

We can but hope mate. I’ll get over it in time to support at next home game, but I think it’s a horrific appointment.

Believe me I hope he proves me wrong and I’m open to that.

ITHICS mate...fingers crossed it works out

Do you even believe the part about us being 6th?

 

[Barker Woofingham]

was thinking that myself

It's even got the league table below it

Joint fifth if you wanna be pedantic

Or sixth on GD

I do, woohoo

I do, woohoo

I love Parky me, only took one training session as well
Imagine what he'll manage with a game.....

 

[Roker Mackem]

Anyone going for a free £75? Bet £250 on betfair get £325 tomorrow ;-)

 

[Mr Tickle]

we haven't just seen who's cheapest and said "he'll do".

I think we have done exactly that tbh mate

 

[Oliver's Army]

Will get behind him and the lads but it's an awful appointment imo. Smacks of short termism (if that's even a word)

Could be but I doubt there was a lot of difference in how much we would have had to pay him, Stendel or Pearson. He's the least exciting option but I'd be surprised if there was such a big salary gap between three out of work and out of favour league oneish level managers that Donald would risk taking the cheap option because the others were unaffordable.

Aside from the fact this is a pretty awful appointment can we bear in mind the takeover and what it means for that?

1. It means there's no money, so their potential investment isn't coming any time soon.

2. If their investment is related to promotion it probably won't be happening any time soon.

Literally cannot get over how gutted I am about this.

You can’t spend anymore in league one as we are at ffp already, we must get promoted or else we are swimming in the brown stuff and tbf if it is parky then his record is pretty good

If we don’t get promotion he will be a dead man walking.

FFP doesn't exist in L1 mate

No but the league 1 equivalent does

Plus because of our amazing success in being relegated 2 seasons on the bounce we still catch a bit of ffp rules

 

[Smiler]

It may not be called financial fair play but regulations regarding what you can spend in this league relative to income still exists

Same for any one of the touted names. Promotion is the requirement this year, SD knows it and will have made the appointment he thinks most likely to succeed. He's got more money on this than we have - although probably not as much emotional investment. KTF
