Imagine the takover happened 10 mins ago and have money and a willing curbishley waiting in the wings....
Would you want to fire parky and bring curbs back ...
Or keep Parky...
If he continues to do well this might get more interesting....
for me, on current form, keep Parky he deserves his chance and is doing well when a lot of others would have walked...

Personally I acknowledge how great Curbs was for us but I don't think it's a good idea to bring him back.
Parky wins 2 games in Tier 3 and he is being compared with Curbs!!!!! LOL.
Parky is slowly turning things around and let's be honest, when was the last time we were this chirpy on a sunday because of our results. The comeback is on. Killer question though.

SPOT ON!
Director of Football, yes (whether above Parkinson or someone else).
Manager, no.
Simple as.
Are you missing a imho on that postfloydandharvey ?
However Parky has conducted himself admirably in extremely difficult circumstances. Therefore ideally I'd like to give Parky a go, with Curbs coming in as Director of football. If they could work together, Curbs experience and knowledge could be a great help to Parky.
Of course, should Parky stuff up, Curbs would be waiting in the wings to take over.
Some of the Parky haters are waiting for our first defeat to say there's a sign we should get rid of him, but he is slowly turning it around and I'm not sure any other manager could improve us any quicker than he is at the moment. The Hereford game simply showed we lack strength in depth, and with 5 first team players having minor injuries, he simply had to play a reserve side. He's doing the right things and we know he hasn't been able to bring in players like he would have done. He wants a couple more centre backs and striker, just what us as fans want, and we've got Small in as cover on the wing, and if he goes we'll try and get someone else to cover out wide.
So yeah Parky deserves a chance now, even though he wasn't the right choice when Pardew went.
Personally I want to judge Parkinson match by match, and so far we have had two wins and a defeat, we're out of a cup that may have been lucrative and exciting further down the road, but the two wins place us with a couple of points cushion against future difficulties....he has done fairly well so far, if we lose to Orient and draw with Walsall then we will be doing a bit below average in my view, and Parkinson will be expected by me to do something about it. I'm not sure if we can say much more than that at the moment, he is the man in posession, presumably he wants to be, he has has comparable resources with other Div 3 managers, and he should focus on accumulating league points, if he can...good, if he can't maybe someone else could.
But what's the point of saying ."...if we lose to Orient and draw with Walsall then we will be doing a bit below average in my view, and Parkinson will be expected by me to do something about it".....?
We've got a good starting XI but Parky can't sign anyone to strengthen a paper thin squad. If we get hit by injuries or forced to sell say, Nicky Bailey - what exactly in those circumstances will you expect Parkinson to do?
We have won our first 2 League matches, which many on here didn't expect.
We've won back to back League matches for the first time in nearly 2 years.
Why look on the black side now?
I know it's only the Third Division but after 3 painful seasons, can't we just savour the moment ....?
Parky deserves his chance and lets hope he can keep it up, altho i do think he needs to learn how to sub players at right times and the right players
Hereford was noticably worse than the other two games Spring in particular disappointed me.
Parky's signings have been good ,Christian Dailly in particular has impressed me and reading his comments in the programme he wants to be here.Although I know he won't last the whole season. I wish we had signed him last year.
he needs backing not uncertainty
The category who are completely against parky are probably bored of reading "parky has conducted himself brilliantly under extreme pressure", unfortunately for you guys, its true! I do like parky alot and he may not seem like a fantastic tactician at times (although a lot better than pardew) but if he has the players backing along with his forever positive attitude, then maybe he is just the person we need to mount a climb. Now the anti-parkys may be disgusted with me saying that...but i would like to see him given a fair crack of the whip!
After all, we didnt exactly set the world alight in the first few seasons under curbs either did we??!!!
here! here! well sed :-)
In pre-season I have never seen such a tight night bunch of players that want to play for each other and want to win (as opposed to going through the motions... The problem will come WHEN? the takeover happens and he has money to spend on players... he will need to bring good players in but you don't want to upset that good atmosphere that is at the club at the moment !! They know their jobs the players and playing for their manager. We have not had that for 3 years !!
Savour the moment by all means, and if we win on Tuesday and Saturday we will all have an irresistable spring in our step. The feeling from me though is that third division football is unacceptable for us, we have similar constraints to most other clubs in this division, and Parkinson should solely concentrate on doing whatever to get points. If we have a player crisis or have to sell somebody then park the bus or step up training or whatever, but don't moan about it, face problems head on and try to deal with them, no shrugging of shoulders with an 'everybody can see we need.....' response. Get the points to get up the league, if Parkinson can get points at the front end of the season they are just the same as points gained anytime, and whats more they can build confidence and act as a cushion against future hard times.

Amazing aint it
Now lets get behind Parky and the boys on tuesday and see if 3 is the magic number.
Brixton or Paris? Where do you want to go?
Fair play to him - but let's not get carried away.
However for anybody to ask the question, Parky or Curbs .... Aye carumba ...!
Two Jonjo`s would be awesome I agree ;0)
Maybe not but Parky managed to keep them here when everyone thought they would go
