    Voted Parky in jest. Ideally I want to see Grayson with a good budget and have a look at what he can do. Other than that I can't think of anyone else who isn't a massive risk. Stuart is a big no, he's had two stabs and failed at both. The only way I want to see him back is the next step up, heading a buy out consortium, but I suspect if that happened he'd get turned on once the natives didn't get millions spent on players.

    Despite our recent history and crowds we are a solid league one club and constantly fighting it out for the playoffs whilst the relegated championship clubs keep bouncing between the two leagues is the best we can hope for until we have owners who are genuinely prepared to break FFP and fund us.

    Is this season failure ? Look at the number who would have been happy with top ten on 1st Aug 2017 and come back to me on that.

    Hendrie wasn't worth the extra pennies. We could have easily played Vince or Dieng at RB, both have played there many times. McCall would still be in a job if he hadn't had the ludicrous idea that Callum Guy was a right back.

    Win ratios mean diddly squat to anyone. What matters is promotion. Parkinson has achieved it at least four times in his career and he's five years younger than Stuart. As is Grayson. I'd take a 45% win rate as long as there were another 20 draws on there to get 80 points. (as per 2016/17). Losing so many home matches in a season gets manager's sacked. That is a fact.

    Has Parky been sacked at Bolton?

    I stopped reading when Parky was in trouble, was that during his 1 win in 21?

    how many did Parky win and lose at home in season 2014/15? Compared to this horrendous campaign?

    These Parky lovers have short memories.

    Stop your rambling HB, all I said was most who said we'd have a middle of the table finish made that comment before or as the season started, have you swallowed a dictionary, and as @Urban Soldier@Urban Soldier replied Vincelot or Deing right full back, and your having a go at McCall for playing Guy ?.

    Answer is Parky won 8 From 23 in season 2014/15 at Home! And lost 9!

    Hardly great. But stayed in a job.

    He only won 8 from 23 at home in season 2013/14 too.

    Care to go back into how its important to win at least 50% of your home games please.

    Maybe because both their jobs are under threat and several others but little dickie birds don't always tell the truth # I Believe.

    Hannes Wolf - lets go all in ! Joking aside, I can see Grayson leaving, it makes sense for the owners to bring someone in familiar with their type of thinking. And whilst I am at it, I happen to think that any mistakes that Rahic and Rupp have made are just that, mistakes, not anything sinister.

    The latest I heard on Grayson is, he may be in line for the Blackburn job if Mowbray goes to Ipswich, but that would possibly mean we won’t get an answer until backend next week at the earliest. Not sure if the owners would wait that long though.

    But wouldn't you rather play tika taka and get relegated too play the likes of Forest Green and Newport, rather than how Grayson wants us to play and try get promoted and play the likes of Leeds and Villa?

    What a strange person!:(

    Graysons boring football doesn't guarantee promotion either. Could watch it all next season and still be mid table .
