    I haven't any idea how much it'd be, I'd guess he's on something like 200K a year at the most. Should be within Donald's means to pay that off, he's taking a big risk financially if he doesn't.

    500k might be our January transfer budget though...

    Could be but if so it wouldn't be anywhere near enough imo.

    Certainly does need to be more. Worries me that it won't be though.

    All we've got to go on that I know of is that they've said they're looking at signing five players, if the plan is to pay 100K or thereabouts for them it'd get us nowhere and would probably weaken the squad because we've already got more valuable players than that who aren't effective.

    If it was five actually good players and Parkinson stays or three or four and we get a new face in it's option B for me. Looking at Parkinson's tactics and lineups I've got zero faith in him helping to build a side in his image he needs to **** off.

    Oh yeah, that's a good point about the 5 players. I'd probably go for your option B too. If only because Parkinson's position is becoming untenable now.

    The owners could give that muppet 10m transfer budget and he still wouldn't get us promoted.

    5 at the back **** sake man...

    We thought Ross was negative which he was as he was scared to lose but this guy ****ing hell.. he has shown himself and the owners up as for them to just sack Ross (which was right to do) without a replacement lined up and a decent one at that (which they ****ed up on) was just bloody stupid.

    The yanks must be rubbing there hands together thinking going to get us for next to nothing. I thought and said this a while back but its going to be a bumpy road before these get full control as it will coincide with SD ****ing up.

    CM has already bottled it and ****ed off so just one last man standing.

    I just hope they move on and do as they say what is best for the club if so we all owe them a massive thank you.

    If they don't... then they will probably lose the fans and money.

    I think you know me well enough to know that I'm not the type to jump the gun on sacking a manager but my crystal ball says that sticking with Parkinson would be a disaster. I'm seeing nothing at all to suggest he's capable of turning it around and it's likely to keep on getting worse as the lifeless defeats pile up.

    Lose to Bolton on Boxing Day and were in a relegation scrap, no two ways about it.

    Yep, I think we got rid of Ross too soon

    Same with lots of managers( apart from Moyes )... but it's very obvious Parky is not and probably never was the man

    I think you're probably right that he needs to go. He was an odd choice when people like Stendel were available.

    I'm still reeling from the line-up.

    We need a settled back four, and a midfield with energy, and a bit of pace up front. The players are there already, but we need a manager who can see it, or someboby who can point it out to him, as this dope cant, Will Grigg on for 90 mins. is a sure fire winner, for the opposition.
