Phil Parkinson

Just picked this up from a news site.

Surely not me thinks !!

UTT

 

I could see it happening, he is heavily into sports science and sports physcology or at least he was at city and did have a very good reputation with the people in the know within the game thus us paying over the odds to sign him in the first place. Could make an ideal number 2

 

Number 2 = **** = parkinson.

 

Lol ! That's my thoughts too but I'm also a believer that there a reason why we have never played, coached, managed or ran a professional football club.

 

Wasn't it even crazier than that wasn't it right wing ?

 

His methods were far ahead of his peers weren't they. The ice bath is now pretty standard at most clubs.

he got a raw deal here I think - if only that Scottish striker (Duffy?) scored that point blank header at WBA on the first game of the season things might have been a little different

 

Just popped over the the Arsenal Board and they dont have a clue who he is so i gave them my verdict on it, have a look if you want

 

soon as they read the dreaded words "Hull City" on his CV they'll run a mile..

 

So they should, the guy's a joke

 

i'm trying to think back to when parkinson was manager, did he bring in phil brown or his number 2 or was brown brought in by somebody else? i know brown's appointment was some time after parkinson became the manager, i just cant quite recall the precise sequence of events

 

Think he did yes. I think he brought him in as number two before we went and won at Southend. And a month later he was gone and Browny became our manager.

 

Wonder what Phil Parkinson thinks of Hull. Could it be another contact in the Prem that we could use and get Mannone permanently.

 

We sacked him after 4 months and gave his job to one of his mates who was allegedly* only at the club because he'd asked him to come and help him out. I imagine the thoughts are something similar to a builder who needs help putting an extension on his house, says one of his unemployed mates can move in and help him with it and then a month later gets kicked out by his mrs because she's screwing the labourer.

*It struck me as odd at the time, more like we'd brought Brown in in an effort to not have to sack Parkinson because there was a convenient cover story available about them being mates when the 'reality' was he was brought in so that he could either help Parky, or after a short time if there was no improvement be made the manager himself for the January transfer window without having to spend the first week or two learning about the players. I guess it just seemeed a way of us trying to avoid sacking him if at all possible.
