I suggest a thread where we are positive about PV, if he were to ever read this site, he could skip to just the kind messages.

Honestly, he did ok. He fell short of our expectations (and his own), but he leaves her with good karma and respect from me and others. We now have some really exciting players, we have attack options, we defend well, we seem to be solid in midfield now... we need some more luck, but our league position isn't bad (relative to other seasons).

One thing you can say is it is obvious he cared - he spoke with emotion and honesty and you could see he really wanted to make this team great.

Personally, I would have loved to see him tackle the last few games which look easier on paper - but actually, if it was time for him to go, we have Paddy Mac who has been great stuff with the youth teams.

Thanks PV - it's sad managers don't get very long these days, I would have kept you on for longer, good luck with your next challenge.

Some seniors were seriously concerned so informed Parish that some of the coaching methods were not up to standard.

Interesting …. Maybe will all come together now

Yer, did great, spent our money, took a large pay off, give all the players no fitness or confidence, played players out of position, took us on a winless two and a half month journey spiraling towards relegation, well done, hope we get another like him.

Given how fat he was, one suspects he didn't 'perform' much at all - probably just stood there eating all the pies...

Patrick, thank you.

The bell tolls for all managers at some point. But it didn't for you you. In your case, it was the bell end that tolled.

There's nothing to be ashamed of in that.
