I just wanted to put this idea out to all of you who want as to have a fifth manager in 5 years.
A new Manager in my opinion will cripple us again. We have been seriously damaged already by the constant managerial changes, all we need now is to let the dust settle and start trying to move forward with Parkinson in charge.
Before you start calling for my head - Parky in my opinion is starting to show that he is having an effect on the players. They are showing more fight and he is showing more pain as we get closer to the drop. Parkinson also seems to have the dressing room - something i could never say of Dowie, Reed or Pardew.
We all know we are going down now - so why risk fudging things up even more?
Onwards and Upwards!

I think with a fresh start, and his own players who are not stuck in the losing mentaility installed under Rapedew, he could do alright. He has League 1 experience in taking Colchester up, something that maybe a new manager won't have.
How did Amir Khan get on?????????????????????????????
Colchester United 25 February 2003 to 14 June 2006 Played 187 Won 79 Drawn 54 Lost 54 win %42.25
but even if he took us back up we'd have to sack him next summer. He's proved at Hull and again this season that he isn't up to it in the Championship. I'd rather appoint a manager now who can get us up and at the very least then keep us up.
Can't remember his name now.
Billy Davies hasn't had the massive impact on Forest that people thought, the infighting there is terrible, and there getting tonked on a regular basis to
So on a 46 game season we would have:
19 wins
14 Draws (rounded up)
13 defeats (rounded down)
That is 71 points.
Will that be enough for promotion ?
maybe, maybe not. But I'd rather be in their position than ours. They were ensconsed in the bottom three when he took over, they are not now. Anyway, if he takes them down it won't be his fault it will be Calderwood's just like when Parky takes us down it'll be all Pardew's fault. Or, if you think he will be to blame then Parky is to blame for our demise too.
Playoffs judging by last year:
Swansea 46 13 5 5 38 21 14 6 3 44 21 92
Nottm Forest 46 13 8 2 37 13 9 8 6 27 19 82
Doncaster 46 14 4 5 34 18 9 7 7 31 23 80
Carlisle 46 17 3 3 39 16 6 8 9 25 30 80
Leeds 46 15 4 4 41 18 12 6 5 31 20 76
Southend 46 12 6 5 35 20 10 4 9 35 35 76
Brighton 46 12 6 5 37 25 7 6 10 21 25 69
Oldham 46 10 7 6 32 21 8 6 9 26 25 67
Northampton 46 12 6 5 38 21 5 9 9 22 34 66
Parky has got TWELVE IN TWENTY @ 0.60.
They ain't bottom of the league miles adrift though, are they.
Forest came up last year, we came down 2 years ago.
Parky is more of a joke than any of the other appointments since Curbs left, he got a lucky (first) season at colchester, beginners luck perhaps and has been nothing but shocking ever since.
Pards should have got both of them in they were both on free's and had a great understanding together, could have been all different.
Like players, surely managers can develop and improve though? If we come straight back up, we'd have to have had a few goalscorers, a winning mentality, and a good team. We don't have any of those things at the moment.
Still think if we had good goalscoring strikers we'd be ok with the rest of the team we have, even though some say our defence and midfield aren't good enough. It's been very hard for Parkinson to be able to do anything about the striker situation. Going 1-0 can make all the difference.
I'm not saying he's a good Championship manager now, he's not, but he could be in the future.
So who do we replace him with? Where's the money going to come from to pay the compensation to his club, or wages for some proven but out of work manager that would jump at the chance of managing Charlton?
But which option will get more bums on seats next season do you think?
