    Weak club , weak fan base, weak owner, weak CEO, weak media, weak supporter’s board.

    Just overall a weak & failing club!

    16th in the league with 60% of the season played, with only 9 league wins, suggests it isn't gonna be this season.

    Part two. Keeping up the pretence that we can make the play offs.

    It’s more of a monologue than an interview.

    Full of contradictions , lazy pre loaded questions which makes his erratic responses even stranger.

    Parker and Sparkes two people stealing a living

    Yep. It's boring.

    It concerns me that he still goes in about making the ply offs and the "quality" we brought in during the summer. There was no quality.

    It's utter guff. More platitudes, and boiler plater questions and answers. Nothing of any substance or importance.

    In fairness to them lads Fordy they are just fans who record a podcast and write a blog. You could easily do the same thing. They don’t have special access to the club

    Not even gonna bother with it seriously whats the point in asking managed staged questions and answers ??????

    I suggest you get someone of here to really put some serious questions in rather than the easy ride Parker gives him

    Two quotes, no comment needed. The man is a walking car crash.

    "We knew that but he helped the club have its most detailed managerial recruitment process for a number of years."

    "Credit to Graham, who has come in and got us playing a brand of football that I think is enjoyable to watch."

    'Nothing was off the table'!!
    What a disappointing and dull interview, even by Parker standards. No doubt Park will have been impressed :rolleyes:

    Did anybody really expect anything different?
    When has Parker ever really probed and asked real difficult questions?

    Somebody put some questions on here yesterday that they thought should be asked about our transfer policy,signing aged players on long deals,bloated squads when the opposite was our intention etc…

    All we’ve had so far is-

    Parker - “So Ryan,tell us how good you are”

    Can’t wait for the third instalment..

    Whats the point when the majority of our fanbase are happy with whats going on ?????

    You can imagine a fair few of us going down and protesting pre game only to be looked on in disgust at people that are happy with a 14 place finish.
    How many years has this gone in ?????
    Folk still happy to go down the road to mediocrity

    Did Parker ask supporters for questions to be sent in, or did Sparks give him the questions to ask? I suspect it's the latter. My issue is there's no comeback or challenge to the answer given. It's like "oh well, that's all right then". It would have been better as a pod cast with one of the city vent lads who could ask more challenging questions.

    Exactly, it's not Paxman grilling a Tory MP about corruption is it?

    “Did you threaten to overrule Davide Longo on the Seabrooks crisps contract?”
