Anyone would be better than Parkinson. If he wasn't our manager right now we wouldn't be considering him for the job, so just because he has the seat why does that make him better than half the names on here?
We need a "new manager bounce" because if the last couple of years tells us anything it's that Parkinson can't motivate the players. Now the fans are against him (myself included) I can't see how he's going to turn things around.
To be honest, even though I would like a clear out of all the back room staff, just getting rid of Parky and making Breaker/Kinsella joint caretaker managers for now would now be an improvement. Parky is a dead man walking and the longer he stays in the job the further away from promotion we're going to fall.
[cite]Posted By: Weegie Addick[/cite]The "new manager bounce" worked really well for us the last four times...
dowie 12 games and richard murrays chosen coach's
les reed one of those 'chosen' coach's
pardew gave us a little bounce at trying to stay up
then good ole parky another promotion within
we need a new broom sweep out all the deadwood that's loitering and draggin us down
but i do say give parky till the end of november ..... then he has had more than enough time for the gelling and it will give the new broom enough time to survey whats left and see what sort of shopping they wanna do in the window
I read an article a few months back that proves (using data and facts, no opinions, from all league clubs over many years) that over the past 30 years teams who change their manager tend to do worse after they change manager than before. I can have another look, but I found it out of nowhere, so no idea if I will actually be able to find it again.
A view from the outside. Obviously, if Parkinson does get the push, your board have got a huge decision to make. Whether to go with experience or to take a risk...
Now I've got a suggestion for you... If you wanted to take a risk, what about Tim Sherwood?
Experienced pro, played football the right way, been learning the ropes under Harry for a few years, has been coaching and managing the Spurs development squad as well as doing scouting in the lower reaches of the league. Always well spoken to the media, players would respect him. I think he would make a top manager one day.

I think it was Finktank (Dan Finkelstein) in the Times.
Sherwood - another one of those maybes like Chris Powell and others. Just don't know how they'll do until they get the chance.
Unfortunately we're under far more pressure to be promoted this season, due to finances, than other clubs. Brighton could gamble on Poyet. If he failed, as long as he didn't get them relegated, they wouldn't be in trouble. They can just try someone else.
If we didn't have that pressure I'd understand going for an ex player who seems to be a promising coach. If we end up with another Les Reed though we could end up with more problems than we have under Parky.
If Parky goes we probably need to go for someone with at least some experience of being a manager.

I agree with that. You think how many times Lord Sugar and later Daniel Levy changed the managers at Spurs. The new manager bounce thing only worked once in about 15 years and that was with Harry Redknapp.
