I was actually pointing out the added benefit that things would improve if Anderson went... but never mind...Prufrock wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 12:46 pmNot to get too self aware about the nature of a football forum but it seems like all the people who think PP isn't very good are predicting things will improve if he goes, and all those who think he is good are predicting they'll get worse. Who knew?!
As someone who thinks he's good I hope we never find out but I'm looking forward to another chance to convince people who think he's bad that he's actually v good.

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
There is absolutely no logic to an argument that Parky leaving precipitates our owner leaving. Anderson owns the business. He cannot "leave" until he either places it into administration or sells it.Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 12:53 pmI was actually pointing out the added benefit that things would improve if Anderson went... but never mind...Prufrock wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 12:46 pmNot to get too self aware about the nature of a football forum but it seems like all the people who think PP isn't very good are predicting things will improve if he goes, and all those who think he is good are predicting they'll get worse.

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
I find it a darkly amusing co-inkydink that PP was hired 13 days before this era’s other great shibboleth, the Brexit referendum. And just as that comes to a mutually agreeable, well-ordered denouement, off pops Parky.

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
It's like Brexit. There's so many branching decision trees... But first and foremost, many more than Ken Anderson has a pound in their pocket, and the less interest Ken is extracting from his pound, the more he might think of cashing it in... It's not rocket science, it's economics!BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 1:56 pmGo on - how does Parky leaving mean we get a new owner?Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 1:23 pm"Absolutely no logic to it"?BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 1:11 pmThere is absolutely no logic to an argument that Parky leaving precipitates our owner leaving.

Ken will cash in and is desperate to. The ONLY thing stopping him is lack of suitable and willing buyers.Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 2:01 pmIt's like Brexit.

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
No. That's not the ONLY thing! He's got a blockage in his head about what his minimum take will be. When he sees that he's going to, almost immediately, have to put in more dosh, or suffer the consequences, he may well lower his sights.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 2:26 pmKen will cash in and is desperate to.

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
Whatever his asking price - his manager going for some compensation he can use to bridge the financial holes in the business does not in any logical circumstance precipitate the owner selling up.Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 2:42 pmNo. That's not the ONLY thing!

He has shown he will run the club on the bare minimum. Should Parky go, he will do so again. I see no logic at all that Parky leaving encourages Ken to also do so. He will do so when he feels he's got what he wants, or can't get it.

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
I wonder if it's at all interesting that PP seems to be taking to Reading without KA standing in his way. Not for the old Because Parky's Shit trope, but the similarly well-worn reason Because Ken Can Turn A Dollar. I'm sure, as I've said before, he'd rather keep his human shield in the job, but as The Legendary Flanners suggests, maybe a compensation fee would help pay the wages this month (once we've got around to paying last month's).

But equally, once he's made a dollar, he'd need to spend two to get a replacement...

Not necessarily. He could just appoint an out of work manager or promote David Lee.
