[cite]Posted By: Heath Hero[/cite]I think we (and for the first time this season I'm actually going so that includes me) need to get right behind the team. Look at what Pardew said about the fans being behind the team and it making a difference. The team are going through a rough patch and they need support not abuse. Judging by most of the posts on here his week, I get the impression that half of our fans just can't wait to start booing so I'm not too optimistic.
Perhaps if we just abuse Parkinson, the players might start playing for him!
[cite]Posted By: SoundAsa£[/cite]Parky is a decent bloke and not as clueless as some would make out....not saying I'm his No1 fan or that he's won us all over but he's OK.
Some of the utter crap talked about him on here is astonishing to be honest. I note that none of those who want him out have 'weavers shoe' who they want to take over from him(other than Curb's of course)....he may or may not succeed in getting us back up this season but I'm certain he'll give it his very best shot and in saying that he can do no more.
We need some stability in the managerial stakes and like him or not he's who we've chosen...SO LET'S BACK HIM.
I think most managers would give it their very best shot at getting us promoted. I would give it my best shot too. But, Parkinson actually can do more, like take a leaf out of all the other managers books in the professional leaque. Surely, you can see that he does not know what to do tactically or knows what the best positions are for certain players. Every game I listen to live on CAFC TV, the commentaters frequently mention the need to change formation and / or bring on fresh players. I'm constantly crying out for it on the terraces. Parkinson does eventually carry out the task but at the wrong stages in the games. I have to say while I will back him as our manager, he is not very good at it.
I know what you mean re substitutions, but to be fair I said the same when Curbs was in charge.

I also was quite critical of Curb's timing and use of subs at times. Fortunately he made up for it in other ways though. Not quite sure the same can be said for Parky just yet...

Yes but how many of those commentators are or have been decent managers? How many have to balance man management skills with quick decisions? How many of them know about the injuries and confidence issues behind the scenes?
My wife always thinks I say what the commentators say but 5 mins beforehand, but unlike a managers (any managers) my decisions/opinions/guesses are never tested. Just like the commentators.
[cite]Posted By: Covered End[/cite]I think this would rule out Coppell coming to CAFC, unless you consider us to be a very high profile job.
Former Reading boss Steve Coppell has ruled himself out of contention for the vacant managerial role at Brighton.
The 54-year-old had been the favourite to take on the job at the Withdean Stadium following the dismissal of Russell Slade in early November.
But Albion chairman Tony Bloom told the Brighton Argus: "Steve was one of the first names to spring to mind, and he would have been a leading candidate.
"But on initial contact he ruled himself out."
Bloom added: "He is enjoying his time out of the game, after leaving Reading last summer, and I think only a very high profile job could tempt him back into football at this time."
haha, this is weird!
anyway - coppell no way would see charlton as a big club at the moment - think he's aiming prem and his bank balance would be too.
