Journeying up for this game. Looking forward to being back at Ewood

He’s on a rolling contract too, so not exactly a financial issue either to pot him if necessary.

I never even said that they should sack him. The idea of him just automatically being given the season is a ridiculous suggestion. Theyve spent big money, if they are languishing near the bottom then I suspect (although we dont know what these owners will do having never been in this situation) they will probably pull the trigger, especially considering the money spent. I wouldnt be surprised to see Parkinson underachieve, his track record at this level is poor. Different story when youve got by far the best/one of the 2 best squads in a poor division.

Again, doesnt have to be either or. They need both.

We’ve no idea if their owners are loyal as they’ve strolled up from non league on huge budgets, so they haven’t had to make those decisions. They struggle this season and that’s a different conversation.

Exactly shit fans

It's very funny. For me Potter is the English version of Russell Martin and Martin the Scottish version of Potter. (I know they're both English but Im sure everyone gets the point)

You’ll get nothing off rovers fans, they’re a real soft bunch, majority pathetic. People won’t like this but that’s exactly what majority of our fans are. Not got a shed of passion in them, venkys ass lickers/apologists, any other club would have got rid of these owners long ago.

West Ham need signings. not sacking another head coach. West Ham need their owners to open that cheque book for some signings

This is the Adam Wharton thread what else do you suggest we discuss in it? edit LV beat me to it

But you have actually chosen to read the Adam Wharton thread!

not yet? its 3 games in and the owners are backing Parkinson with more money for signings. Yes they putting together good squad which will need time to gel so why on earth would you sack Parkinson after 3 promotions in 3 seasons. Their owners seem very loyal and I don't see them sacking him if they don't go up.

No need to change the starting XI after yesterday, but hopefully we see a couple of new faces on the bench to be able to freshen things up. Rovers 1 - 1 Norwich. Cantwell to score for the third game on the spin, against his old club.

Its was more than 3 games but I admitted I was wrong. How more times do you want to say FFS! Yes we all now about their owners and they have backed Phil Parkinson every way. The championship isn't an easy league and this is different to league 1 or 2 which their owners actually did understand.

Yes when he does have the ball he's magic but too often he hides. If he wants to be a top player he needs to get the game by the scruff of the neck

Yes, I would say he looks a prospect. I think he is still just about 16 but regularly playing in the 21's which is obviously a huge leap in terms of experience, relative strength etc. His body shape is nothing like his dad's. He is more a Buckley or Adam Wharton type. He plays very much in that style too; just in front of the back four, playing on the half turn with nice, crisp passing and decent vision. He is confident, despite his youth. I imagine he would possess his dad's unshakeable self belief when playing in his own age group. He has a good engine. Very early days obviously but definitely one to watch.

The notion that Suhail 'what else can we cut' Pasha is stretching the budget beyond its capacity, especially after the obscene amount of transfer fees received in recent years, is a strange take to me.

The more i think about it the more the theory of massive borrowings in India secured against land and serviced by the clubs income and VH group subsidies the more it makes sense. Needs paying down every now and then as it approaches tipping point hence fire sales/constant budget reduction but it's impossible for them to sell for less than 100 million plus because they'll be liable for the difference in sale price and owing's and it'll suddenly become due if the club is sold....or goes bust. Hence the need for life support and accepting no other investors or due diligence etc. Makes way more sense than some of the other stuff regarding criminal behaviour and tax evasion etc as the 'Bollywood Billionaires' as they were once described would be left extremely red faced if it came to light the 1/200 million they've 'invested' and blown into thin air is actually a gargantuan loan !!!!

Norwich play 3-4-2-1 formation so it will be interesting how we set up tactically without the ball Team selection has to be the same after yesterday excellent win away at Hull

We need a win it's as simple as that getting as many home wins as possible will see us safe by May. Is this another Cat A because Norwich might bring more than one thousand ?

Did he not play two key passes in the goal. Palace fans still fawning over him.

They won't get rid of Pasha, as he's their "enforcer" and puppet. They have no interest whether we live or die, we are an irrelevance now. They were excited for a couple of minutes, but that soon wore off off once the dark lord got his teeth into us and the dickhead was appointed manager. It's as if they are punishing the club/town and fans for not giving them more reverence. But you earn respect. We have none to give, so we are in an impasse. We bring nothing to their table, so the 100,000,000 rupee question, is why they stay? It's the one question to which only they have the answer, but when you are a petulant child, you will be continually punished, with little hope of rehabilitation. We are that petulant child sadly.

Wonder if this guy stood out for Legia when we were scouting Kapuadi and came onto the radar that way.

I never said that they should sack him. Not yet. But the idea that he just gets the season regardless of results is ludicrious. In the lower leagues (along with Birmingham in League 1) they had a budget that meant that they had a team far above the quality of the rest so it was quite an easy job. Different job here, they do have a good squad that they are putting together but there are lots of similarly strong teams. He shouldnt just get a season at it purely on goodwill. I would personally sack Potter because hes been at West Ham for a bit now and there have been no signs that he is the man for the job. Watford were also correct IMO to sack Cleverley or at least justified. Their form in the second half of the season was the worst in the league.
