Having read the News Shopper article and interview with PP I think it`s looking pretty well locked on that Phil will be with us next season. He sounds very confident in what he is setting out as to what needs to be done. Oh well !
[cite]Posted By: WSS[/cite]He has to work like he will be here next season if he hasnt been told any different so far.
I still don't think he will be.
jeez, I do so hope you are right. However, comments like he doesn't know yet what the budget is suggests he knows he'll get one just not how much. I was looking forward to a summer of hope not despair.

Or to take another view he might not know what the budget is because they haven't told him and don't intend to, because he won't be our manager.
Let's just hope the board make a decision either way in the next week, so then whoever's in charge as got plenty of time to get the squad he wants for next season. The sooner the better.

Agree, that's better for the Club and fairer on Parky, either way, as well.
3 reasons why I think he will be in charge next year:
1. By all accounts he is a nice decent bloke. The board will probably like dealing with him and he will probably have been able to impress them with his plans for next year.
2. Once bitten twice shy. They won't want to risk sacking PP and then bring in another wrong person. They will opt for stability and continuation.
3. Improved performances (although not results) suggest the team is still behind him.
Hope he isn't in charge as I really think come November time we'll be in the same position as we were with Pardew, do we sack him or keep him. In short I don't think Parkinson is ever going to do anything for us
He will say that he inherited an oversized squad from Pardew and with only one transfer window (and no money) he was not able to buy/sell as he wanted. Next year's squad will be his, so to speak.
I should add that I don't agree with any of this but that's how he will spin it.
His 2 purchases says it all..........Burton & Spring.
hope to God he isn't here come August, buT I have a nasty feeling he will be, as per Heath Hero above. e Board will give him 1 year (to see out his contract) and then if we are promoted back up will give him another year or two or if we are stil in League 1 (div 3) then its the old tin tack without compo.
My wife and I have had two season tickets continually since 1987 at Selhurst Park. If Parkinson is still in charge on season ticket deadline day the 1st June we will not renew. I cannot take any more of this clowns pathetic attempt at football management. His crap decisions and lack of basic football ability has worn me down. With Parkinson in charge, watching Charlton is now like watching the slow death of a dear loved one and I cannot take any more of it..
[cite]Posted By: WSS[/cite]Would you just abandon your dear loved one when they needed you most?
I know it's an extreme example but you started it. ;-)
If I gave a dear loved one a money to keep them in essentials and they wasted it on crack, meths or Deon Burton then did it again and again, to the point that I believe that they are unable to improve their behaviour, I might at some stage reflect that their judgement is so addled that I'd be doing them more good by creatnng some distance. If I continue to support somebody who doesn't appear to be able to help themselves despite my assistance , there's an argument that I'd better serve them by not re-enforcing their own self-destructive behaviour.
''Better the devil you know, rather than someone with a modicum of ability and promise.'' lol - that's the comment of the day, if not the week, from Denmark!
Still think PP will be gone next week - ''judged on results'', as Derek Chappell promised us six months ago.
Not that I'm inclined to believe much that is said by someone who made their career in the NHS and then switched to the private sector to make a bloody fortune (and as a die-hard socialist, I admit it still sticks in my craw that the shares he has in CAFC were purchased with dosh from the sale of his private hospitals - far more morally tainted than middle eastern oil money or Gold's porn millions, IMO).
But although I don't like Chappell's ideology (or lack of it), I'd still like to think he was telling us the truth about PP. After all, he wouldn't renew the contract of one of his private doctors whose operations had a 90 per cent failure rate, would he ??? He'd report him to the GMC. Perhaps we could report Parky to the FL for bogusly masquerading as a competent football manager!

Agreed - added to the fact we're skint & would have to pay him off and give a new guy a load of cash to spend in order to attract him to the job to start with.
I'd be prepared to put money on him being our manager next season.
The only glimmer of hope is that Parky is talking about holding on to ZZ & Gray and signing Ward. My take on the financials is that our turnover will be under £10m, so the board cannot have appraised him of the playing budget for next year. The big name players we have just will not be affordable and will have to go regardless of whether they or the manager want them to stay.

the worst manager in CAFC`s history who will be "judged on results" will take us further into the darkness.
Exactly.
If he came out and said "I'm doing nothing until I'm told one way or the other" people would be screaming about that too.
The club said they would review at the end of the season. Season's not over yet.

What's the pont when he's racking up a worse points average than Pardew !

im with you

It has a depressing inevitability about it.
Is this a case of better the devil you know
no need to bring up all the anti parky rants, but short version is, relegated, massively adrift and only 21 points out of 84 available...
I am sure he had a hand in Pardew's woefull reign.
But, hey, better the devil you know, rather than someone with a modicum of ability and promise.

I think I agree with most that WSS states about the Addicks, he loves them, sticks up for them, I do as well, it isn't blind, it is passionate.
Agreed.
It is in everyone's best interest, including his own, that Parky plays the good soldier and says the right things.
And the decision on his future needs to come quickly, one way or the other. I still believe he will be out next week.

Really? I thought it was all over in December.
