    I think he is a decent bloke and good manager. 
    I'm into horse racing and I went round Andrew Balding's stable because we were thinking of putting a horse with him. Somehow it came up that I was a Charlton fan and he said that before the Play off away leg with Swindon , Parky brought the whole team to the stables and they helped out with basic jobs, mucking out etc to fill in time and relax them before the tie. He was super impressed 
    Is that why we lost?  
    We didn’t lose - it was a draw

    Apparently Gary Docherty got accidentally left behind. One of the stable boys mistook him for cart horse and locked him in a stable.

    Didn’t he put some money in to pay for a loan player? Gary Borrowdale?

    Good guy who did okay with us as far as I’m concerned……

    Guess it depends on what Rob and Ryan see as a successful season given the crazy spending spree they went on. 
    Way too early to be having such discussions anyway. 

    And I'm sure they see Parky as being both a key part of both Wrexham's rise AND the TV show. Players come and go, but Parky was there from the start, so is a key "character" in the TV show. I can't see them dumping him unless the team really underperforms badly.

    To bw honest its difficult to complain because of what SCP achieved but I do feel Parkinson was treated slightly harshly by us as a club. Very nice man who had time for the fans, I remember some friends and I spoke to him for quite a while at welling one pre-season. Also when we sacked him were we in play offs ?
    Lifted from Wiki:- Having not won a league game since November, Parkinson was sacked on 4 January 2011, the day after his side's 4–2 loss at home to Swindon.
    We were clearly declining at the time, leading to having an extremely poor second half of the season and finishing 13th. But we were 5th and in the playoffs when he was let go in the January.

    Important everyone is allowed an opinion in society even those that are wrong, intellectually challenged, stupid, classless or went to state school.

    Agree.

    The season we got in the playoffs we were top 2 with Leeds most of the season and still had a chance of automatic promotion right up to the last game.

    He did all this with free transfers, bargain buys and out of contract players.

    Agree it's too early , they aren't on a Southampton/Norwich/Blades run where something has to give. 

    It's so weird to think of a manager as also being part of a TV show but I guess you have to factor it in.

    had a worse ppg than pardew when he became the manager in that shameful relegation season
    persisted with picking Rob Eliot in goal whose form was pony at the point he thankfully got injured which led to the much better randolph getting a run late on in the season that stopped our slide down the table and led to a strong finish in the season

    Swansea and Reading away in a week where if he'd been bolder we might have picked up results still haunts me to this day. At that point he was more concerned with saving his job than saving us from relegation.

    If that makes me wrong, intellectually challenged, stupid, classless or shows that I went to a state school so be it. For me he was a useless twat.

    Pretty sure we did not play many due to postponement. I think he drew a few and there were cup games in there. In November he was manager of the month.

    Was just joking pal, tbh Inwouldnt put it same way as you but I think in less verbose terms he seems to have found his level. Did well at Bradford after us but failed in championship and he isnt doing well this time around after spending 40million. He seems to fail everytime he has got to championship but as said he was a very nice man when i meet him.

    I can' t forget that he told one of our youngsters that he would be playing in an away game. The excited lad got away tickets for all his family only to be told on boarding the coach that he was not playing. I don't think the player travelled.
