So quick to start name calling. I've generally got on well with you on here but I'm starting to see why no one likes you.


Why is everyone so aggressive on here? Name calling, passive aggressive 'wow' comments. I just don't get it. It seems no one has the ability to respect someone else's opinion.


so says the Walrus of Love.

genome Wait, are we saying people would rather stay at Lincoln than come to an established 2nd tier club?

Right :lol:

He rejected Ipswich


Thank you KentRoyal!

Ipswich are about as established in the 2nd tier as it gets but he chose to stay an Lincoln. To him it is about football and not money.


He was favourite with the bookies and was asked about it by the media, and gave a generic manager's response when linked with another job, of being "focused on Lincoln". There's no evidence Ipswich even approached him.

To be honest, I don't think we should be looking at managers with experience at just one FL club, and that in League Two, no matter how on the rise they seem to be. It's just yet another person to come in without sufficient experience to deal with our situation. It's not exactly uncommon to see a manager excel at one club then fail when they move. And it's never easy stepping up a level at the same time as taking over a new club, let alone stepping up one to two levels at a club with a recent history of failure to turn around.

I'm fed up of promising young managers with limited experience who don't know how to deal with the shyte we're in.

That's why I think Parkinson is a decent shout, Warnock (when available and though it makes me feel sick) too and maybe McCarthy if he's still got it, which is a little doubtful. But I'd rather see Clement given a chance to fail, learn and grow. Especially seeing as I don't think he's got a great deal wrong so far. Some questionable team selection, a poor signing or two... and a lack of progress, but fundamentally what he is trying is along the right sort of lines for me.

No not at all. Everything I have said is a fact. It tends to be that when people disagree with you because purely because they think they will curry favour with other board members they will just label someone as "stupid" or claim they don't know what they are talking about. Sadly for them I am very much informed when it comes to the Football League and have a good gauge for what is happening at most clubs.

I for one would welcome Parkinson back with open arms. I know it is for nostalgic reasons and he was one of my footballing heroes growing up, but I don't care. I think he'd shake everything up and give the players the injection of passion and belief that they've been lacking.

Of course, he could also be a total failure and get us relegated without wining another game. Either way, I'd like to see him back.


He's starting to look like a good option compared to the Coaches we've had the last couple of seasons who don't seem to be able to motivate this bunch of players. Thing is, would they respect a manager who's career was average (admittedly he's still a RFC legend as far as I'm concerned) and hasn't done too much as a gaffer?


Plenty of managers have been successful having had modest football careers. Fergie and Wenger for starters.
Parky would shake this sorry lot up. It’s badly overdue.

Wow, what a moron.

I said they are picking up new investors all the time which is a fact. They are already quite well off financially.

Half the reason I come on here is to read the shitty comments :D I agree with whoever said we should only get rid of Clement if we are looking dire by January, we're bad but at least we're not actually in the bottom 3, by January he'd have had 6 months to properly get to know his players and do something about it, I also reckon he's kept some funding back for January when he can make a proper assessment on what he has

I started reading this and then part way through started thinking about which is my favourite curry flavour :? Can't decide whether it's Bhuna or Tandoori Chicken Tikka

Please let me know what was incorrect and not a fact. Not looking for a row or anything, you're a good dude, but I am just interested to know where you believe I am wrong.

Well, I've already done that.

If you want to agree to disagree that's fine, but just don't do that cyclical thing that Kes does where you ignore what the other person has said and ask them to prove you wrong, it's mindnumbing

ID hate Parkinson as manager, because I like him so much, it would make any dry spell in results that much more upsetting. It was the same with McDermott's second spell at the club. I also dont buy that 'even with their problems' that his position at Bolton proves he's just what we want. Parky has never shown he can get a club into the top half of the Championship and that must be our next goal, surely?

No, I don't think so. Stopping the rot and building a team with fight and spirit to survive / bounce back and get to midtable comes first.

But who has that would be available?
We come back to the likes of McCarthy, Warnock, Bruce etc and I do get your point about how we would feel if he were unsuccessful as a manager.

Well to use Horse Racing parlance, Parkinson is 'Exposed' - he's had plenty of experience around this level and his limit is well known. If you want to replace Clement, which I dont particularly (not yet) you could choose somebody who is 'unexposed' if you cant think of somebody who operates at the level of the top half of the Championship.

He hasn’t spent much of his career at Championship level. Just keeping Bolton at this level is an achievement as he has had no money to spend. Perhaps if he had been well backed at this level and failed to achieve anything I could understand the concern.
There are few managers out there that appeal. I don’t see many realistic better options than Parky right now

How did 'unexposed' work with Clarke, Stam and Clement?

Isn't this only Parky's third season at this level?

20 odd games at Hull too early in his career and a very successful last season with Bolton... am I missing some?
