    He'll get a great reception from me. Think he is very underrated for what he did in very difficult circumstances and always without complaint.
  • Northwich no big deal. Recall we should've lost to D&R and we were premiership then!
    If I was going I'd clap as he had a thankless task under Slater.
    More interested in what Slade up to on the day.

    Parky was a nice guy, and his management of the 9 man Llera 2-2 Boxing day Swindon thingy was brilliant.
    However.
    Northwich Victoria.
    No abuse, a polite clap, and on we go.

    Ridiculous point

    Got lucky in his first league one season with his refusal to drop Rob Elliott, despite numerous howlers ,when the better keeper Randolph was available. Nearly cost us our play off spot but an injury to Elliott against gillingham with 8 games or so to go meant Randy was in and he kept numerous clean sheets to assure us of our play off spot

    Top fella all the same and if I was going I'd give him a gentle clap but instead I'm going to Lords to get pissed and wet
  • Parky also got us Johnnie Jackson, which is a pretty great legacy

    Funny you should say that...

    As always, some ridiculous comments. Parky was doing a great job. He brings his table topping team to the valley tomorrow and will get good reception from me.

    It's interesting that he signed Jacko on loan twice (Colchester 2003, Charlton 2010) and both times he played mainly at LB!

    I guess had Kelly Youga never been injured (and thus ending his Charlton career) Johnnie would never have joined as he joined in the second half of the 2009-10 season and Youga had made 22-appearances that season.

    I'm sure I heard somewhere that he wanted to sign Johnnie that much he paid his wages for a time.

    Or I might have dreamt that. Either way that signing turned out very well indeed.

    Thats not the first time I've heard that either... Unless I'm confusing him with someone else

    I will applaud him for demonstrating at Bradford that he is a decent Manager, and a nice bloke.

    I think you might be confusing a point with an opinion.

    I think Parkinson did a good job considering the horrendous tools he was given. Weren't we in the playoffs when he was fired ? Didn't end up anywhere near there after he'd gone did we ?

    Deserves a good reception.

    I will clap him all the way. He's a legend. Favourite memory was winning 4-3 at Carlisle with that late, late Benno header. I think he might find a bit too warm to wear his nice jumper.

    Youga was turning it around that season. I was gutted when he got injured. He was the most extreme example of a confidence player. Great when on form but the Sheffield United game was as bad as they get.

    If I knew how to change my user-name I would. Compared to some of the absolute shite that came after him, he was world class. Am still boycotting (a couple of wins haven't changed the way I feel) but if I was attending I would give Parky a polite welcome.

    Hope its a decent one personally.

    Very mixed period and won't go down as one of the greatest managers in our history

    Negative

    - should never have got the job in the first place (based on results),
    - was questionable in my eyes in his usage of Shelvey.
    - managed the Northwich disaster
    - managed a humiliation at Millwall


    Not Negative

    - had to manage through a difficult period with little resources,
    - was desperately unlucky not to get us promoted back up to the Champ at the first attempt, both through marginally missing out on automatic in a very strong League 1, and the Bailey pen
    - always seemed to come across well and had a good attitude
    - players I've spoken to over the years have spoken with praise him
    - I quite liked the v-jumper, shirt and tie look

    thoughts?

    Was limited in his use of Jonjo as a condition of the Liverpool deal. Reckon the same is currently happening with Lookman who isn't getting enough game time!!

    Nice to see some of the old Charlton attitude still remains at the club. Parky was under appreciated by sections of our support when he was our manager. History seems to be judging him more favourably.

    Lawrie Wilson got a better reception. Covered end sung his song as he warmed up. Johnson our own players reception not so warm.

    Nice touch from the new announcer to introduce him as "our former manager". Not sure if BDL would have done that.

    Yeah definitely. It wasn't a dig.
