    New Manager now please

    Maybe Scott Parker is too nice,who knows,but after yesterday there should have been a few cups and saucers flying
    round in the changing room.Nine changes from a good mid week win when the only thing we have left this season is
    the FA Cup.Fairly obvious to everybody that you put out your best team but apparently Parker couldn't see that.He
    has to go and give somebody a chance to have a good look at the players we have before next season because we need
    to get rid of a few and build a hard working team of players who at least care.

    Totally agree BT, barring a miracle we are relegated, so we had only the FA cup to look forward too. Making nine changes to a winning team after waiting so long for an actual win was tantamount to committing suicide.

    The second half appeared that we were trying to defend a one goal lead over a third division side. Until they scored their second goal then we did try to take the play to them, despite of Parker's negative tactics.

    What was he even thinking about when at 2-1 down he took off a recognised free kick specialist in Ward-Prowse to being on a further defender in Pires.

    Think Parker is on the Venkys payroll,im now going to call him Agent Parker. Can't be anything else the way he selects the teams.

    You could always organise a collection in buckets to raise around 2 million which would probably be what is needed to sack the manager at the end of the season. I'm sure that with all the fans wanting rid that should be an easy amount to find and give to the Chairman. It isn't going to happen otherwise except by 'mutual agreement' and we all know what that means ----get the buckets out.

    The situation we now have with Parker reminds me of the situation with Mullin back in the 90s, when Teasdale wouldn't sack him and he outstayed his welcome by 12 months

    That was probably all about money, or more than likely, the lack of it. Contracts have to be honoured because you lay yourself wide open if you do not fulfil the terms and you would have a lot of difficulty attracting a successor if they are aware that their contract could be worthless.

    Send Scotty and his Mrs up to Briercliffe for Haddock, Chips and Curry sauce, that might resolve the situation.
