So, Parker now confirmed. Let’s see what happens.

I'm sure we will see a new manager bounce. Tonight's game should be a win with or without Parker. And it's obviously too soon to compliment or condemn.
It will be interesting to see if he brings back any or all of Orford, Areola, Magassa and Alvarez. Areola should be a shoe in.
I'm hoping for the best.

The first thing as Hammer says he should do is show the midget in goal the door and get areola back in after that repair any damage done with Alverez, if he brings the same style he has at other clubs expect the boring and mundane.
The strength in our squad is up top so we need to play on the front foot and in the final third it doesn't take Einstein to work that out, and it isn't difficult to see why the last 3 managers have failed miserably. Hopefully Parker can change his negative style or he will be the 4th in a row.

It also goes to show who is still making the descions at the club as it was Sully that wanted Parker in the summer, as he was the cheap safe option.

I was never that bothered about promotion, I always thought relegation was a chance to play against traditionally smaller clubs with less financial clout than us and actually get a team with an identity unfortunately I doubt now that will be the case, although I will wait and see what happens.

Apparently it was Mark Noble that suggested Parker to Kretinsky.
