Who should replace bond?

[SheldonW65]

I suspect a gross exaggeration rather than a Iie to be honest. There is no way someone applying for a job would spill so much specific information to someone that clearly can't keep their gob shut!

But he's undercover so it must be true lol

Sorry Jai but Luton are no bigger than Southend.

What do you base that on ?

 

[Chrisb]

Off to Lincoln perhaps.

 

[Rayleigh boy]

too shabby for a billy big time i suppose

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I think I'm relieved about this.

I don't think Parkinson's brand of football would have gone down well here. Yes, maybe this season everyone would have bitten their tongue if he got us back on track but next year people would start moaning and we could find ourselves back in the same place again. Add in his Col Ewe ties and whilst he's qualified for the job he doesn't seem a good fit for us. Lincoln (and their history of long ball) suits him better.

 

[NZamba Legend]

Not bothered. Reckon he'd be a bit disappointed to be here. Feel like his career was on a downward slope. Need someone positive, someone who sees the good in the club and the players.

 

[Farmer Fossett]

What do you base that on ?

Average attendance and league position over past 10 years.

 

[Farmer Fossett]

hahahah deluded.

I mean like they've only won a league cup and spent ten successive years in the top division.

That was years ago.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Tilly & Barrett it is then.

 

[Jim Levenstein]

That was years ago.

History doesn't die. They have far more in theirs than ours which would all contribute to the size of the club. They're bigger than us in just about every single department.

Yes they regressed due a massive financial crisis and now they're back in the second tier with an approved new stadium on the horizon. If they didn't have the financial issues they'd probably never of been below us in the leagues.

Luton is a much bigger club than Southend. Not in terms of catchment, but history.

They have been a top flight club as recently as the start of the 90's and have won major silverwear in the form of the League Cup, and I believe were FA Cup runners up as well.

 

[SheldonW65]

Very selective dates, historically they have achieved higher league status than us and are building a new stadium.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

PHIL Parkinson is not interested in the vacant managerial position at Southend United, Echosport understands.

More...

That could well be a statement put out by his agent because it’s becoming clear he won’t be selected. There’s no insight in that statement, but in the event that he was interested but going to be unsuccessful this would head off any suggestion that he failed to land the role.

Just a thought.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

What do you base that on ?

Eric Morecombe being a fan

 

[Jim Levenstein]

You think we could average over 7k in the conference...

So what if he has the same agent as Powell, never heard that as an excuse to rule out a candidate at any other job

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

Why are we taking so long to announce Barrett?

I think the article is implying that he has spoken to the agent as it was the same one as Chris Powell. I'm not reading that as they're ruling him because they have the same agent lol because that would be silly now.

I’m also relieved. It’s no coincidence that he makes all his appointments on Tuesdays

As I have said I based my argument on average attendance and league position over past 10 years.
