Craig Posted 12 June 2023 Share Posted 12 June 2023 2 minutes ago, The_Rorab said: I think the other issue I have with Parker is just generally the behind the scenes aspect. I think we need wholesale change behind the scenes, and Parker is a manager that I feel will absolutely not destabilise anything and will allow us to continue without pushing for any meaningful change in the way other managers might. Which honestly might be why we'd be signing him over others. I just get the feeling that they see Parker as a way to keep everything the same and plus fingers in ears for another season and just hope the magic formula is found to get us back up but if not we'll just get rid and go again. Maybe that's me being overly pessimistic, and I desperately hope whatever we do works, but to spend nearly 2 weeks and come out with Parker would be a bit gutting to me. You might want to revise that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following the pair out the door is Rob Burch, goalkeeper coach and defensive set-pieces coach, as well as analyst Jonathan Hill. Hopefully he would bring Burch in so it means that Stowell gets the boot Ahh nice. Presume they were with him at Fulham and Bournemouth for both promotions?

Can't run before walking. Just getting back to the prem is what we want worry about the rest later. It's a bit like getting a firefighter in to stave off relegation, just the task in hand is what's important. He also can't be written off yet in the prem. Look at Marco Silva, he failed at several clubs before doing well last year at Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinterdream Posted 12 June 2023 Share Posted 12 June 2023 (edited) I wonder if visually, Parker looks a bit odd as a manager, and as yet isn't a trendy option, but saying that we won't get someone in that will work harder, I'm sure he's got something to prove. Being young he'll be approachable for the younger players and I'm sure he'll get this band of brothers thing going on and have players running through brick walls for him, and that's what the championship is all about, right?

adam Posted 12 June 2023 Share Posted 12 June 2023 Pretty boring appointment. Got 2 sides promoted though I suppose.

STUHILL Posted 12 June 2023 Share Posted 12 June 2023 On the flip side, Marseca has achieved 0 Championship promotions and has never even managed in the Premier League. So, using Parker's x2 promotions and x2 sackings in the Premier League Vs no experience/success at all, seems strange to me. I often think that people use the unknown/untested, as a fill in the blanks type thing, and always feels so much nicer to fill in the blanks with positives! I am not for Parker btw, or against Marseca as such, but it is interesting how we judge a record, against no record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillehamring Posted 12 June 2023 Share Posted 12 June 2023 1 hour ago, STUHILL said: Does Maresca have the quality of players to play Pep ball? No. Not sure why being a Pep understudy helps us in the Championship. His only standalone Managerial record was a 28% win record with Parma. Making comparisons with Arteta is different, as he took over at Arsenal, with a big budget and much better players capable of playing Pep/Arteta's style. One of the reasons we are in this position, is because Rodgers tried to push a passing/ball retention style on our players, that they were simply unable to make successful over a period of time. To play like Man City or even us in the early days of Rodgers, takes a certain calibre of player and a squad full of them, which we barely had then, and certainly don't have now. Personally, I don't think Maresca is the right appointment for our situation and the quality of our squad. Do we really want to see our back 4 passing it around the back again? They simply aren't capable, without stifling our attack and/or making defensive errors that lead to goals and losses. Yes, but he would be managing in the EFL, he would only need a team, right now, capable of doing it at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
