Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
Yep. I know what Jugs means - I'm now freelance too, so to quote Richard Hell, it comes in spurts - but I agree with you. It's (usually) in the contract, fergawdsake. To ignore that is illegal - OK, maybe not on a par with murder, but against the law of the land.Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 11:57 amWhen on a contract you should be paid on time.

If your contract states you are paid monthly on the 15th, you should be paid monthly on the 15th, no excuses.
In this instance, it's not like Parkyandstaff have failed to crack on, and it's perhaps possible there wasn't an actual written agreement (or it didn't have a fulfilment date). But that's splitting legal hairs. More importantly, the whole thing stinks and strongly suggests nobody can trust Ken to pay them - whether that's his fault or the club's fiscal shitshow.

I mean if the business has no money...then I think there is an excuse. But that should have been communicated far better than "email all".Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 11:57 amWhen on a contract you should be paid on time. Full stop, by anybody, no matter who you are or who they are.

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
I wonder what people like Stephen Ireland think of the situation at Bolton? Not a great inducement to give your all when you can't guarantee your wages, I would think. Unless something drastic happens (why hasn't it up till now) I can't see anything but all our decent players jumping ship and not even wanting offered deals that can't be guarenteed? I'm asking, not telling because I just can't even imagine how we ever got to this? It's sickening.

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
If a business has no means of paying it's contractual sums on time, it has no business being in business. It still has no excuse. Hence, probably, why the mentions of a mass abandonment in the January window...BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 3:34 pmI mean if the business has no money...then I think there is an excuse.

He took over the business. He signed almost all of the contracts. He signed off on the payments for Magennis and Doige. "I ran the business badly" is not an excuse.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 3:34 pmI mean if the business has no money...then I think there is an excuse.

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
You are arguing something different to my point. Irrespective of blame if the business accounts are empty - they cannot pay the wages. Its a simple fact. Just as if my bank account is empty I cannot pay my bills.Prufrock wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 3:56 pmHe took over the business. He signed almost all of the contracts.

No, you're arguing something different to your point . You said that's an excuse. It's not, though it may be an explanation.
Though to use your example does that still apply if you and your son had another bank account with the best part of a million in consultancy fees in it (not including your wages).

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
There is no excuse imho. Bonuses appear not to have been paid to the coaching staff from last season. Players weren't paid bonuses in July, yet we made a "small profit" following last season and the sale of Madine. It wasn't like we were hoarding money to pay off Blumarble, because we know ED funded that, despite KA seeing fit to put the club into admin over it, and we agreed fees for Magennis and Doidge. We had the Heathcote's non-payment issue, Karl Henry's non-payment issue. There were reported issues for the October salaries at the start of November and now this issue. It has happened numerous times prior to this season.
KA just doesn't appear to value honouring deals to pay people. It doesn't appear to be a priority of his. And so it shouldn't be a priority of anyone to agree to work for him. The players and management should all leave, and I wish them well.

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
I get it but I'm finding it hard to muster any sympathy for the players atm, owing to how piss poor they've been at time this season. IF they're going to the press with "I'm finding a new club because I was paid a few days late" statements, as a fan watching an absolute shit show of a season - and ignoring all these legal obligations for a moment - it just gripes a bit.Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 11:57 amWhen on a contract you should be paid on time.

Yeah Tango, there are several clubs who have sent buses just waiting for our players based on their performance this season. They currently have plenty of options.TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 3:47 pmI wonder what people like Stephen Ireland think of the situation at Bolton?

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
Ha, point taken mate, but if we lose even them due to our problems, they'll look like Real Madrid compared to what we'll be able to afford. John MaGinley, Dave Lee and Tony Kelly may not be done yet, and Ivan Campo has promised to return if we call, and SuperKev might still have his boots dubbined....irie Cee Bee wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 6:26 pmYeah Tango, there are several clubs who have sent buses just waiting for our players based on their performance this season.

Good. I hope he walks out and takes the Reading job. That might just be the trigger to get rid of Anderson.palindromeofbolton wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 5:33 pmPP 5/1 second favourite this time 'round, behind Steve Bruce.

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
It would be interesting to see Ken's next move if Parky did go of his own volition (as opposed to being hurled in front of the bus by the chairman). Not as in who he'd hire, although in itself that would be interesting. More whether he could be civil. Gartside couldn't manage it with Allardyce, and Ken has rarely spoken highly of anyone who's left.Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 5:37 pmGood.

I fear Ken won't give up his increasingly sickly golden goose even if it's squawking its last and squeezing out nothing but blood.

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
I almost hope they offer him the job as I think it'll suit all parties.
Parky could leave us with his head held high for the job he's done in extremely difficult circumstances and we could be due a tiny bit of compo (?)

Hearing #readingfc will continue discussions with Phil Parkinson tomorrow. Have spoken with him in the past but move never materialised (obviously).

Re: Should Phil Parkinson be sacked?
per Marc Iles ets tweet, Parky is now the bookies’ favourite for the Reading job. Doesn’t always mean anything bar them trying to ameliorate their losses but from the quote above it sounds like there’s something in it.
