If I was Parish and reading some of the posts on this thread I would seriously consider putting my shares up for sale and getting out asap. Let an Indian, Chinese or another American investor come in and take over over the day to day management of the club and sit back back and watch it properly unfold like it has at many other clubs who have been at a similar stage to ours. Blackburn, Fulham, Charlton fans etc would love to be in our position so let's be a bit respectful of what this guy has achieved in 7 years and not forget where we have come from during his time as per owner.

Has he made mistakes? Of course, many of them...but some of the stuff on here is just a bit over the top.

Exciting losers with a garbage post match talk in the tunnel. Great. I'd rather get back to bottom half table achievers.

This is the point. We lost games 4-3 but we also won games 3-0, and we drew games 3-3. We havent scored a single goal this season.

Can you not read? Some of us just want him away from footballing decisions.

Many bad football decisions lead to disaster. That is the point, and plenty of them are repeats from 12 months before.

The arrival of a director of football does not mean that mistakes will not be made in the future and success is a certainty. Sunderland are a prime example where it has made naff all difference to the progress of the club.

Freedman has been appointed in the role and deserves a little time to take stock but you have made it clear that you are against this move. There is not a long list of potential candidates with the right experience who would leave a fellow premier league or foreign club to join us. A few who are currently unemployed such as Cortesi would be an option but they are unemployed for a reason. Mainly because they are straight in the press after leaving clubs.

Not sure why you don't apply Rudi, with your experience of watching football for decades and the ability to save the club £120 million I would imagine you are a shoe-in.

How do you know? We're the 20th highest revenue club or something.

If parish took my advice he'd have flown back from Spain and gone all out for silva and if not given it to Dyche. Now going by past and recent performance I'd estimate that meaning 4+ points, possibly 9, then saving £2 mil comply and very likely the many millions and years in the championship, so yeah, i reckon I've got more of an idea on football than parish. Did you not hear the desperate Campbell speech.
