Would Phil Parkinson really be all that bad? He's done a good job at Bradford and is massively experienced.

We need someone with experience of getting out of this division and when someone is available who's done that three times and more recently than the other he has to be first choice. As well as that Parkinson does have a reputation (rightly or wrongly) of being more direct which we don't want to go back to. And according to the Bradford chairman their budget was as big as ours last year, doubt that's true but if its even remotely true then he did even worse than Clough. Can still remember earlier this season when Bradford fans wanted him out (think it was early this season anyway) which worries me and some of their fans comments about him not spending money that well.

Nigel Adkins in charge of a team in League 1 who play in red and white stripes. It could be like 2010 all over again.

Local rag reporting we have a 3 man shortlist of Parkinson, Adkins and Robinson. Keep hearing and seeing people say Adkins is all but signed but worried this hasnt been announced yet as apparently is was meant to be (and thats from someone who predicted Cloughs sacking when everything else said we had him for another year).

ps Scumarmy. I'll do it for you. It's not Robinson.

Adkins would be a very good appointment for us so I hope it happens, as long as Phil Parkinson doesn't get job then be all good

Our co-chairman saying an announcement will be made Monday at the earliest. Supposed 'ITKs' even after this statement are saying an appointment has or will be made sooner. Think I know who I trust the most though.

As an aside (I know, I know its nor Robinson), Scumarmy. when does Robinsons contract with you run out?

Don't think anyone could be that bad, apart from the Oystons I guess. Dont think you'll catch Jim on the radio telling the fans to get down and support the club or they'll go out of business, or arguing with fans.

I know he ain't everyone's cup of tea but I really like that we have someone as chairman that's so approachable.

Jim's online posts are comedy gold, defending the signing of Brayford and the Princes' millions!

Doubt parky will be leaving now this Italian fella isn't coming in, that was his main gripe and with that done and dusted I fully expect that we will carry on as normal. Probably see him sign a new deal aswell.
