    It only matters to note that it was more about luck than some inevitable outcome of Parky's managerial genius. They could so easily have been gone. And they haven't had it tough as some make out. We all know that they seemed to work some strange rules given their finances such as affording ALF or Wilbraham. They shouldn't have been relying on a great escape given their relative size and the way their budget operated in a quite unique way.

    All irrelevant he kept his club in the Championship, which I would think was his original brief from the chairman, he did what was asked of him.

    They were rising up the table until Madine was sold they did very well to stay up. And for Parky’s sake I’m Glad they did

    Not really the same point Bronco. I am simply saying he got out of Jail yesterday luckily for him. I am sure his brief was to keep Bolton up but that was not the point of any of my posts on this subject. Simply that he (and his team) got lucky yesterday.

    Sorry we'll have to disagree, he made two substitutions both attacking options one a defender and the other like for like winger and it brought them the two goals they needed to win the game as a point would not have been good enough, surely he deserves credit for that ?.

    Credit for the substitutions but we all know that on 99 times in 100 they would not have bagged two goals. He did what was needed perhaps but he also had luck on his side too.

    We’re Wigan lucky to beat us with a late late winner

    Why do you ask? I remember your comments on this game, you alluded to the fact that city were unlucky to not come away from the game with anything. I guess that makes Wigan lucky.

    As I wasn't at that particular game and know that the stats aren't the full story I don't think anything specifically about it.

    Just like Forest were unlucky yesterday. I guess that means Bolton were lucky.

    Parky would ruin any striker, irrespective of value

    Lazy generalisation.

    Wells seemed to progress quite nicely.

    No. We were shit against Wigan. We were lucky not to lose by more.

    Wells is the exception to the rule. Name me another striker that Parky has significantly improved, and for every one he has there are 3/4 Louis Moults who went elsewhere to progress.
