Bradford are capable of keeping Villa from scoring 2 goals I think (I hope) but it's far from an impossible feat for a Prem side at home. I hope Parkinson stays there for a bit, he has a great chance of making at least 2 Wembley finals with Bradford (League Cup and JPT). Vacancies in the Championship come around fairly frequently. O'Driscoll would be a great appointment for them and, as mentioned above by Leicester Ed, an upgrade on Appleton - a bloke who for some unknown reason is hot property right now despite no real achievements.
Blackburn have claimed Michael Appleton will bring them stability The bloke has had 3 jobs in just over 2 months. Thats hardly stability
