He did caveat it with "unless Anderson wasn't being totally honest".Worthy4England wrote:But, but, Iles said it was Cottrill or Adkins?!?!?!Worthy4England wrote:It would be really funny if it was neither...
He also broke the news that Parkinson is the man, just now.....

Re: Which muppet can we appoint next?
He's an interesting stat I just picked up off his Wiki page:
Parkinson is currently the fifth longest serving manager in English league football having been with Bradford for 4 years, 285 days.

Well this could be a good appointment. And perhaps will signal the end of the embargo. If they've got Parkinson I'm pretty impressed with that.Peter Thompson wrote:Surely it can't be as 'the club is being run in an amateurish way'....BWFC_Insane wrote:It is Parkinson....

It doesn't change the fact that I feel it has been amateurish so far in terms of messaging and conflicting interviews, but if they've got their man and can get things moving then fair play.

Re: Which muppet can we appoint next?
Based on the fact that the Cotterill/Adkins story was yesterday, as was the Parkinson ruled out story...I'll wait for the official announcement thanks, instead of believing everything he writes.BWFC_Insane wrote:He did caveat it with "unless Anderson wasn't being totally honest".Worthy4England wrote:But, but, Iles said it was Cottrill or Adkins?!?!?!Worthy4England wrote:It would be really funny if it was neither...

Bloody hell, what a shambles.
Iles doesn't have a clue, does he?
It's alright saying he only prints what he's told but fvck me he's been sold a pup there.

He ruled Parkinson out using direct quotes from KA saying they wouldn't pay for a manager in work as the quality of "out of work" managers was so high......Worthy4England wrote:Based on the fact that the Cotterill/Adkins story was yesterday, as was the Parkinson ruled out story...I'll wait for the official announcement thanks, instead of believing everything he writes.BWFC_Insane wrote:He did caveat it with "unless Anderson wasn't being totally honest".Worthy4England wrote:But, but, Iles said it was Cottrill or Adkins?!?!?!Worthy4England wrote:It would be really funny if it was neither...

They get their stories from Iles....throwawayboltonian wrote:BBC Manchester reporting it too FWIW.Worthy4England wrote:Based on the fact that the Cotterill/Adkins story was yesterday, as was the Parkinson ruled out story...I'll wait for the official announcement thanks, instead of believing everything he writes.
Bradford local media reporting it, which is probably more telling.

Re: Which muppet can we appoint next?
Have you never thought that they (KA/DH) are actually quite professional and have been keeping their cards close to their chest, so as not to alert any other club to Parkinson's availability, saying that he's quite a highly rated manager.BWFC_Insane wrote:Well this could be a good appointment.

Perhaps what KA said about not paying compensation was a deliberate curve ball, whilst negotiations where ongoing with Bradford / Parkinson....and perhaps the guy knows what he's doing ?
Re: Which muppet can we appoint next?
Call KA and SSC as much as you want but this is a fantastic appointment for the football club. Onwards and upwards and upwards.
There must be silent investors. Pre-season tours to europe don't come cheap, Parkinson would have cost a couple of hundred K in comp and I think its only a matter of time until the embargo is lifted.
Well done SSC, KA, DH & Team.

I suspect it was a curve ball and as you say a potentially clever one at that.

The messaging beyond that hasn't been great though but onwards and upwards.....
Re: Which muppet can we appoint next?
If it is Parkinson, am quite happy with that. Doesn't seem a bad manager. Anyway, I await with bated breath tomorrow morning. (we must have sold Holding!!)

Re: Which muppet can we appoint next?
Heh, soap opera. Except hopefully with an ending, and a happy one at that.
If it's Parky, that explains the delay - and as noted, Ken's played the media (and forums) like a banjo. Let's hope the new gaffer unites the club and we move onwards and upwards.

Re: Which muppet can we appoint next?
Don't know a great deal about any of the contenders, but Parky seems like a good choice. My gut feels better about him than the previous 2 appointments.

Think anyone is a gamble. Hope he is decent for us. Something positive at least and hopefully a sign of things to come for the rest of the summer.Abdoulaye's Twin wrote:Don't know a great deal about any of the contenders, but Parky seems like a good choice.
