    Whole club is a ****ing joke. The sooner Donald ****s off the better. Oh and I'd rather Parkinson ****ed off ahead of McGeady

    How much would Pearson have demanded? He may not even have been interested? He may have been approached and asked for £20k a week (more than he's on) or he may have said "I'd like to wait and see what happens in the premier league and see if there's an opportunity.

    From the outside we all make these decisions and say "x y or z would do better" - in reality we have no idea. None! Pearson could've come in and done exactly the same. Stendel the same. I will back the club - my football club, at every opportunity. It annoys the hell out of me when fans (not accusing you by the way but speaking generally) get on the players back during a game. It has absolutely no point at all and doesn't make them suddenly better. If you want them to fail then boo them from minute 1. If you want them to succeed then get behind them. I know it's a double edged sword/chick and egg scenario but it stands to reason that they would feel better about their game and have more confidence with a crowd behind them

    If you expand the picture he's stood next to Andy Reid - he looks skinny.....

    (agree totally mind. No pro footballer should look like he's holding that much body fat on his stomach. I'm speaking very carefully as I know nothing about what he weighs or his body fat ratio (and, as a runner, I know that these are things that are completely different to how you "look" - I look a little tubby at the middle but I am very fit and can comfortably run 14 or 15 miles at a fairly decent pace)

    So a player undermines the manager and the manager goes? This is the absolute problem with football nowadays. I agree Parkinson has been poor (although working with what he's got and the confidence and low ebb the club is currently at, I don't know if anyone would be better!) but if a player has a gripe with a manager, the player goes first every time. In my workplace if I have an issue with my manager, it will be me looking for a new job not him.

    True, I was going to make a comment about how I'm in better shape than McGeady because I have little to no excess fat and lift a lot of weights but the reality is that I might look the part but these days I'd last five minutes on the pitch before I wanted to spew. I think in McGeady's case with the extenuating circumstances it does suggest that he doesn't give a **** though. Too good to work hard he probably thinks.

    This player rebellion has cast a new light on Parkinson for me, still don't rate him obviously but it seems things were worse off the pitch than I thought. Maybe with McGeady and Maguire (possibly) out of the picture we'll see some unity in the squad again.

    So Parky arrives and loses (some) of the squad.(including our best pkayer).. then he loses lots of games and plays boot boot hoof...

    How many weeks has Parky been here!

    Will be interesting to find out why? He was really keen to stay in the summer, and the only thing that’s changed is the manager

    We should do a straight swap for Akinfenwa.

    If that's true then good ****ing riddance. O'Nien - a 100% er every game has a senior pro who seemingly couldn't give a **** on his back? O'Nien may not be the best player, but his attitude and effort can never be questioned. Don;t need people bullying the youngsters

    All sounds a bit " he said she said" Parky clearly not able to 'manage' talented but awkward players. If senior players bullying then deal with it...

    What is true and what is being said to justify actions...!

    Is this I told you so...

    Whilst Ross may have been on notice as results were less than outstanding, with Parkinson they are plummeting.. now following on from his, boot boot hoof, tactics is it hardly surprising that the more creative players would kick off. Or is this Parky riding roughshod over players proving even though he is crap he is the boss.

    Yeah, why not ...

    ... I was told off for making it up and I said it was a fact.

    If I'd been wrong people would've sharp been on to have another pop
