Nigel Clough Sacked

[blade1889]

Taking a leaf out of Scummys book...

Its not Phil Parkinson.

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.

HarvSFC will adopt you as his second team, if you appoint Adkins.

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.

 

[Scumarmy.]

Thinking about it, it might be Robinson.

He's no Iain Dowie

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

 

[blade1889]

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?

Jim Phipps? he's a reyt fucking idiot, almost as bad as Fat Les we had

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!

I'd give Phipps credit for having the patience to deal with all those mongs on twitter.

 

[Jonny mitchell]

Radio Yorkshire (?) tweeted out saying Bradford have rejected an approach from Sheffield United for Parkinson.

What a dour appointment that would be.

Why would it be a dour appointment best in leauge he is gonna take city to the championship

I doubt he's going to be your manager for much longer so I can't see that how that's possible.

 

[James [bcafc]]

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.

Think we've been linked with everyone now. Off the top of my head...

Warburton
Adkins
Robinson
Parkinson
Cooper
Ferguson
John Hughes
Some manager from America

Apparently newspapers just pluck names out of thin air. Still think it'll be Adkins, Sheffield Star reckons we should hear by Tuesday at the latest.

 

[blade1889]

Press conference today at 5. Fully expected to be Adkins...may have been a few days out but at least I kinda called it and made about £50 off it haha

 

[Dion'sHead]

Mowbray > Adkins

 

[blademan89]

Adkins confirmed im more than happy with that UTB

 

[BCFC Jordan]

If Sheffield United don't get automatics next season they may as well give up.

Im certainly not getting my hopes up that is for sure.

 

[blade1889]

Bloody typical, expect us to have a really good season now and I'm not around to go!

 

[Madejski]

Will be interesting to see how he does.

 

[Jamie_SFC]

Best of luck to him.

YOU'VE got our physio.

Best wishes to a tremendous bloke and a good manager.
