    Parky's a fraud. and you've all fallen for it.

    hopefully he wont ever get another management job. lord knows he doesn't deserve it.

    could say the same for McCall to be fair.

    people on here are desperate to disrespect and criticise Stuart. I genuinely don't understand it. he's the biggest legend this club's ever produced. he should be reveered like Lampard at Chelsea, Gerrard at Liverpool etc but not here, no sense of loyalty or gratitude in City fans.

    Everybody loves and respects Stuart. But that still doesnt make him a better manager than Parky

    That isn’t true. Not everyone on here anyway.

    And I never said it did. But he is.

    I wont claim that I read every post on this forum, but I have never seen anyone disrespect McCall the way you do Parky

    You’re honestly the most one dimensional poster on here. Once you get the bit between your teeth everyone else is wrong and you’re right. No ones slagging off McCall, but he hasn’t achieved 1% of what Parky achieved in terms of managerial success. You’re obsession with McCall is a bit weird to be honest, can imagine a shrine in his dedication in your garden shed.

    Yes he is the biggest legend the club has produced - as a player. Football history is littered with club playing legends who weren't similarly revered as managers.
    Like you, I think Stuart was treated shockingly. If we'd had Charlie Wyke from the start of the season we'd have walked automatic promotion. It would have been fantastic to be promoted under the leadership of the club's greatest player but we were denied by a single offside goal.
    The next season he did well to keep a less good squad in the playoff positions and was jettisoned by crazy man Rahic after a very small blip.
    But the simple fact is that, to date, Stuart has achieved nothing as a manager compared to Parky. You may not like that, but it's true. The fact that you can't see that says far more about you than it does about the rest of us.

    Ricc can definitely see it, he's just not going to admit it.

    No of course Parky has achieved more, that’s not in question, never has been.

    But just because Parky has been a manager longer and had more jobs and has done some decent things in that long career doesn’t make him better than McCall.

    This is all my opinion, but I don’t rate Parky as a manager. I hate his dinosaur tactics and it baffles me that so many think he is great.
    I much preferred McCall’s Bradford City and I think he did well. Scunthorpe didn’t go well for him, though one could argue he should have got a little bit longer, but he performed nothing short of minor miracles at Motherwell so he’s capable and plays the right way. I rate him higher than Parky. Cup runs, and league 2 play off wins or not.

    Think your 1% claim is thoroughly unfair on Mccall.

    McCall of course achieved Champions League qualification, which is really not to be dismissed lightly even if it came in the SPlol.

    I don't have an obsession with McCall, I just happen to be one of the only people that posts on here that will defend him.
    and I have no issues telling the world that Parky is a fraud. thats all.

    Given that this thread was started to look at Pressley, then it seems to have developed into a slanging match of managerial supporters of McCall and Parkinson.

    Strikes me that is for another thread, in the ‘Where are they now’ section. If it continues in the same vein I will move it over there.

    Pressley coming to VP is a live issue, the other dispute is now history and no longer has implications for the current state of City.

    You’re like Pavlov dogs. Except the bell is replaced with the word Parky. They salivated you foam
