He might, possibly, perhaps, maybe do a reasonable holding job until, say, Dyche ends his contract with Burnley next year. You can tell I'm by no means sold on the idea.

We know nothing about the machinations going on inside Mr Parish's bunker and, frankly, I'm happy to wait it out until he makes his decision. Whatever it is, he will believe it to be best for our club.

That's good enough for me.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Don't know who is going to our next Manager but in Steve Parish I have absolute faith.

How true! He’s been a jammy so and so in so many ways. Good luck to him; You make your own luck, and all that. But I do wonder if this has encouraged him to be a little bit too cavalier and might ultimately prove to be his (and our) undoing.

As you say, let’s hope his luck doesn’t run our.

Ain't this the truth, it's fair to say he gambled a lot, by doing things on the cheap and so far it's paid off.

We now need to go tried and tested and you get what you pay for... just look at Moyes. however, we also need to redevelop the whole infrastructure at the club.

We need a vision, alardyce for me.

This was once a quality forum....

Yet another Parish sycophant. He can never do any wrong. To have ended up with 13 players out of contract is an absolute disgrace, which is making us less attractive to a new manager. But of course it is all Dougie or Roy's fault or anyone else!!!

It's called serendipity management
