A very sad day indeed. The club is indebted to him for so many things. The last link to the glory days of the 90's is no more. Rovers must move on, but the way they acted in sacking him is nothing short of a disgrace. Parkes was Mr. Blackburn and its truely difficult to come to terms with the fact he won't be around anymore. He deserves a statue too, or at least one of the stands named after him. I have, I thing we all have fond memories of the times (cant believe its 6) when TP stepped into the breach and came to Rovers aid. My fondest is the FA cup tie away at Liverpool in 2000 following Kidd's departure. The Rovers fans drowned out 'you'l never walk alone' with that chant 'Tony Parkes Blue and White Army' and the worst team ive ever seen at Rovers went on to win. That was the TP touch. Our loss is someone elses gain. A very big thankyou to a true Blackburn legend!!!!!!!

rubbish

First Tony Parkes is cast aside like a worthless piece of s**t by Souness and then Garry Flitcroft is stripped of the captaincy after nearly 8 years good hard graft. HOW CAN A PLAYER WITH ONLY A HANDFUL OF APPEARANCES UNDER HIS BELT, CLAIMING HE IS HOMESICK IN THE MEANTIME, BE OUR CAPTAIN. HE'S CRAP AT FOOTBALL, CERTAINLY NO LEADER AND HE HAS A FACE YOU WANT TO PUNCH. Ferguson epitomises our team at the moment. Nobody is wearing the shirt with pride barring Friedel. The youngsters need to come in quick. Where are Gallagher, McEveley? I'm so annoyed with the board for appointing Hughes, who won one big game with Wales and suddenly hes an 'able' manager. NO NO NO He has no experience of club level mangement and certainly none of a relegation battle. He had good players in the Welsh squad. The Man Utd connection doesn't work. Remember Brian Kidd? See you all at Luton next year TONY PARKES BLUE AND WHITE ARMY!!!!
