Lots of threads of late of people having their say, so lets see how it looks in a poll.
***The poll below is based on no form of takeover materialising, as a club with no money and needing to sell players and lower the wage bill dramatically. Consider before voting the additional financial impact of having to pay up contracts.***

Don't care if he is so big bollocked he has to have a wheelbarrow just to walk around- if he can do the job.
I'd suggest this would only happen with other significant investment in the club....
Perlese......
Edit: Missed the bit at the top.
Not the charlton way and not convinced he could do the job either for the money and resources his big bollockness would require, let alone the expectation and press attention it would attract.
The bottom line is cash and without it we're stuck.
Having said that, if money appears from somewhere (anywhere!)- Steve Tilson, anyone?
A dozen games ago he definitely had to go, and before that his caretaker record should have meant he wasn't even appointed in the first place.
In the last couple of months, he's certainly got the team playing as a team at last - but of course, too little too late really.
But he's nearly got it right now.
However with all the player changes planned for the summer, his first team nucleus will be down to 4 or 5, I guess.
So I fear for the quality of the team, especially as frequently he's allowed his tactical naivety to be all too evident.
So I'm going to sit on the fence, close my eyes and hope whatever happens is the solution, and not just a fresh set of problems.
A bit like Richard Murray & co, I suppose?
Somebody said, I believe, Kinsella is out of contract ..... and what sort of contract does Phil Chapple have?
Parkinson has 12 months ..... so probably the cost to the club of releasing him will be around £200k, perhaps?
Plus the cost of bringing in a new man and/or coaching staff.
But bear in mind the cost of relegation in the first place, including (probably) drastically reduced income revenues.
A better decision by the Board in November, and again in January might have cost more in the short term - but may have retained our Championship status, making us a more valuable deal to prospective purchasers.
The dilemma:
a) With Parky - next season if the team is struggling, he'll have to go sooner rather than later. So still needs a lesser amount of contract paying up.
b) Promote Kinsella - Kins becomes Mr Motivator, so we'd need a tactically astute and talented up and coming coach
So a decent coach salary still needs funding + Parky's contract remainder paid up.
c) Complete change - New management team, no guarantees of success, most expensive option - but bottom line, probably what's needed to blow away the cobwebs. It could be that only Parky needs paying off substantially. It'd be a real shame to lose Kins for his passion for the club, but sometimes you have to first take a step back, to go 2 steps forward.
Who'd be Richard & Murray & co......?
Since Curbs era, they've tossed the coin 4 times, called heads - but got tails everytime.
With luck like that, they probably feel they might as well stick.
The issue is not how often we change. Surely it's getting the changes right. And ever since Curbs went, we've got it wrong every time. It's difficult, I know, but in my opinion in a high risk/high rewards set-up like modern football, you have to keep changing until you get it right...and as we saw yet again v Blackpool on Saturday, it's patently not right at the moment, is it?
Someone like Pardew, you mean ... ?
Sorry, Bing - couldn't resist ....!
