Perhaps we can swap with Espanyol? Manolo Gonz?lez is highly rated. Mind you, Parker did not exactly go down a storm in Belgium so that seems unlikely.
The last time we were in the PL we had a fantastic manager according to lots of fans, however, we were relegated after a start to the season far worse than we are experiencing now. Ah yes, we played, or tried to play attractive football but it did not give us many victories and we were relegated.

The manager did okay though because he went on to Germany etc., etc.

We now have a managed who had the rug pulled from under his feet when he came in last season, however, he still gained automatic promotion without spending anywhere near the amount spent by VK. He has guided us to three wins so far this season and we have had a hard start and had a nnumber of decisions go against us. However, he is still working hard with the team to try to get us going in the right direction and with a little bit of change in fortune we could achieve that.
