    good god no, we've got it bad enough with Hopkin, the last thing we want is to make it worse.

    That's the spirit @Ricc@Ricc, the sooner he's sacked the sooner he's free to come back.

    I'd prefer us to do well than to get that fraud back.

    We did well with Parkinson. What's your point?

    Biggest problem would be you don't have the players to play his brand of football

    no I haven't forgotten it. Park Bantam repeated it enough times that it's ingrained into my brain.
    that doesn't make Phil Parkinson the messiah.

    football has passed him by. the bloke is still pulling the wool over peoples eyes and stealing a living from it, though.

    Not sure where I mentioned Messiahs but his record makes him better than anyone we had in the decade or so before him and anyone we've had since.

    Yet Parkinson had a league promotion and a major cup final appearance whilst with us. McCall had 3 or 4 seasons of failure.

    Weird things stats :unsure:

    Who's football did you prefer to watch? We played some awful stuff under Parkinson. PP needed them cup games or he'd have been in the same category as Colin Todd. I'm a purist when it comes to football. I go to be entertained and for 90% of PP's reign I wasn't. Grateful for him getting us to where he did but didn't flinch or lose any sleep when he jumped ship. If we were more ruthless in the nearly season with McCall we were easily the 2nd best team in the division behind Sheff Utd. Real shame really as that was a fantastic side and a great team to watch.

    We also played some awful stuff under McCall if you take off those ginger tinted spectacles although I do concede that in general the McCall era (second time round) was more entertaining.

    Surprisingly enough, I also go to football to be entertained but I guarantee that after a few months of 5-4 defeats the so called "purists" would give their right testicle to grind out a few 1-0 wins.

    You don't give the man enough credit. Took us from heading to non league to league one play off contenders in five years, gave us two of the best cup runs we've ever had. Yeah, the football at times was effective rather than entertaining but you really need to understand that Phil Parkinson gave this club its pride back and made us feel proud to be City fans. Something Edin Rahic has done his best to destroy.

    I don't have ginger tinted spectacles on. I'm not part of McCall mania like some on here. We had a bad 6 week when players downed tools. 90% of the time under McCall we kept the ball with ease, played teams off the park and we had a winger in Mark Marshall who could produce something from nothing in the drab games.

    Stuart nearly did the impossible and got us to within a hairs breadth of promotion despite having the egotistical tw@t hanging round his neck. But there were times when his worrying of the opposition became obsessive, Plymouth at home springs to mind. Still wish he was here with a better ownership but lets not pretend he didn't have his faults just as Parkinson did.
