    You've hit the nail full on it's head. Nothing more to add to the above. If it ain't right at the top, it ain't right anywhere else. Best post on this new board.

    Grayson is a hoof old fashioned manager. Just like Parky. Great for this level nothing more. McCall style of management is more for players of a higher quality, Cant ever imagine Grayson being a national team coach. McCalls motherwell that got into the champions league was one that played attacking football through the whole team, not a parky or grayson, punt and hope.

    Grayson is whats needed for Div 1 or 2, but its shit football. Parkys Bolton found that out. As did Simon Sunderland. You need technique to play in higher divisions or you just come straight back down with a smash and grab approach.

    In your twisted minded Park Bantam.

    You know nothing McCall was unlucky in league 2.

    He was a novice yet had more points per game that Parkie in league 2. FACT
    He had more points per game than Parkie in League 1. FACT

    Your love affair with Parkie shows no bounds. Parkie had great cup runs but also had shocking ones too.

    No disrespect at all he was possibly the best player we have had in our history and a great bloke as well.
    This is totally about his managerial qualities.

    if we'd have played Thompson on the right, and Kill at LB who was playing centre half?

    because we didn't have any of them either aswell as fullbacks. - another fault of the recruitment process/team.

    Interesting that over half of those who voted would like Grayson to stay on. I think that shows the majority believe him to be the one most likely to succeed going forward, despite his often criticised style of play.

    After reading Rupps comments about learning lessons, I hope they don’t have all their eggs in one basket, and have a shortlist of managers ready to be approached just in case.

    I don't know who will be the next manager but he will have one hell of a task turning our fortune's round.
    Club needs a big player clearout in the summer and I also think Abbott and Mason should leave their posts.On the subject of ownership the present incumbents are clueless so don't expect a big name to emerge to lead us to glory.
    How's that for pre season negativeaty.

    Whilst I would like to opt for an up and coming manager like Ainsworth at Wycombe who has always impressed me, I think we probably need someone with more experience to turn this ship around given the huge transformation required in the summer. So whilst I’ve been far from impressed I’ll take Larry for now as the less time someone needs to get to know the club the better, which In turn will hopefully mean we do our business very early

    I want to see football played in the opponents half not tippy tappy pass it backy. In our own half. Most of all I want to see a winning team whatever way we play

    I read somewhere last week that he had become unsettled at the club and may want out. Not sure why though, as it was his dream job managing his boyhood club

    Can you try and look to the future rather than getting teary eyed over the previous manager that isn't going to come back.

    if I can do that with McCall, you can with Parkinson.

    Well if you are referring to not having a clue.

    Does this ring a bell?

    3 points from 18 - Parkie in league 2 (But was not sacked).
    1 points from 18 - Parkie again in league 2 (But was not sacked).
    2 points from 18 - Parkie again in league 2 (But was not sacked).
    1 win from 21 - Parkie in league 1 (But was not sacked).

    Park Bantam you in all honesty are the most deluded poster on this forum. I loved Parkie but in all honesty answer me this, and if your answer is what I expect then have alook in the mirror.

    Would Edin have stood for the run of 1 win in 21, and that was the season we We got put out all cups in the 1st round with a 5-0 mauling at Hartlepool, 3-0 at Rotherham, and a 2-1 to Udders.

    Easily forgotten about eh?

    Have you seen Jacob. Honestly hate having a go and hopefully comes good but is sadly lacking.

    Hanson and Raeder started. Enough said And only other fir Defender Thompson. Nuff said.

    Squad was lacking then. not in last day of window when you show your hand in poker and try and save a few pennys in doing so.
