I'm pro-Parrish, but I can see the merit in the critics on here who point to a certain short-termism, though I reject any idea that he's milking the club in some way as some posters suggest. But here's a link from a superb article from Planet Football - it sets out the club's mistakes with its recent decision making and our strategy for the future with great balance and insight, and it would be interesting to see how much common ground there is between Parrish's supporters and his critics once they've checked this out.

Parish is as Parish does.

After all these years you know what you are getting with Steve, let’s put it that way. He makes far more awful decisions than good ones, and throws in the occasional Gerald Ratner style howler.

Could we have a chairman who is far, far worse? You bet we could.

Could we have a chairman who is far, far better? Yep.

But we gots Stevie, baby, for the time being.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

I wouldn't say harsh - more pathetic

He also forgives a good trespass.

Never thought of Steve in the biblical sense but could he be the next King Herod searching for another AWB?

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

My biggest bugbear with Parish is that the second something goes well he's everywhere, twitter, radio, sky, Susanna Reid.

The second something isn't looking so rosy, he's nowhere to be seen, no comment, nothing.

I'd have much more respect for him if he just came out and was honest in either set of circumstances, enjoy the good moments and face the bad moments head on like a man.

Had after the whole AWB transfer, he'd come out and said look we've sold him because of this, this and this reason, you'd understand and respect it.

If we now sign someone or he paints a pillar in the Arthur, he'll be everywhere telling you how amazing it is. You can't have it both ways.

I don't expect him to come out and tell us every little bit of info and potentially harm our ability to negotiate by saying we're reinvesting the whole AWB money, but at least be balanced in your approach to negative and positive news.

Nothing is fool-proof - fools are too ingenious
