    I think the Americans want Stewart out extremely quickly. I think Roy Keane with SKP will be brought in. That however is just my opinion on what I think will happen. What is or would be your suggestion FB?

    Didn't he also take us from a basket case of a club after the worst points total in PL history and languishing in the bottom 3 in the Championship to flat out champions in the same season? Then he managed to keep us in the PL. He may have spent a decent amount of money but he still needed to get the best out of his players and turn around the mentality of a failing club.

    In your opinion, should Ross have been sacked? Because he was exactly the same as Keane was essentially. Biggest EVER L1 budget and failed, miserably...

    Di Canio you mean? I met him a while back. Very nice man. He spoke very knowledgeable about football and football management. I think he hasn't had another job because his name was tarnished by all the fuss about his politics and because of what happened at our club.

    Keane left us as a stable Premier League club with some very talented players.

    He joined us as a team who had almost set a record for most games without a win in English football history.

    He did spend, but not nearly as outrageously as folk say. And you know what, a lot of it he spent well.

    Players like Richardson, Kenwyne etc more than justified their fees. Others did no real damage and some that didn’t work out were no fault of his.

    Players like Kavanagh and Tainio would have been top additions without injury issues.

    He was turning the tide Keane, he never lost the dressing room, we never had a particularly horrific run, and we never looked in danger.

    I don’t care what he did after, he did a great job for us. We spent 10 year in the Premier on his foundations.

    Where did that idea come from? Canny odds at the bookies I would have thought.

    He is incapable of coming up with a suggestion. Just shoots down every other suggestion.

    This is **** like. Just when I was hoping that the squad was going to pull together, after McGeady was booted out.

    Not saying it’s not true, but very sceptical when someone says they have had a txt, a lot of these txts seem to fly around when things aren’t going very well

    They do play for the fans. The 1 thing with the current bunch of players is question there effort, lack of quality yes

    Just had the full story and it's not quite as bad as it sounded.

    The Academy lads put on a skit of everyone including the current and most recent manager ...

    ... the first teamers were all laughing and Parkinson lost it.

    That's what I've been told.

    Hopefully Parky will realise the U23s were taking the p*ss having a laugh and they all put it behind them and now move on for the good of SAFC.

    Hopefully he's seen his arse because of our current predicament and told the fookers to take things seriously until we are performing/promoted then have a laugh.

    That’s even worse if the useless twat can’t take a joke.

    I thought that, but could you imagine Keane or Allardyce laughing it off when results have been poor?

    Team spirit is everything mate, without that there’s no hope. In my most humble of opinions that is.

    Yeah, you're right about team spirit mate. Could be a sign that it has improved.

    It is a bit random the academy lads presumably taking the piss out of Parkinson when they're absolutely awful as are the senior side. I'm not sure I'd see the funny side if I was Parkinson and having to deal with actual mutinies like McGeady's.

    No, that the squad are having a laugh together. Sounded like the academy lads did skits about everyone. Maybe Parkinson walked in at the wrong time and thought it was all directed at him?
