Parry Out

[Tartantranmere64]

We as fans definitely need to lay off Les Parry, and Ian Moore. These are the guys we want to be backing 100% - they are who we have got - and I'm very happy with them and proud of them. And I would still be proud of them if they fight bravely and go down.

Les brought our Tranmere back. It's going to be a long old slog, but write Tranmere Rovers off at your peril!!

I agree 1,000,000%

 

[lonerover]

Find it hard to understand why some people are calling for Les to go.....the main reason being who else would manage the team.....i think the fact we have Les in charge shows that no one else wanted the job.

He is Tranmere through and through and the fact that he's said he'll walk away if we go down shows the believe he has and also the passion he has for the club. I know I could never turn my back on the club.

Can someone tell me which is the craziest idea?

a) Appoint a man who has little more than a years managerial experience and who last managed a club side 10 years ago (and has had NO experience or interest at this level), let him bring in his assistant who retired from playing years ago and has shown no interest in coaching before (and who never even bothered to coach kids or reserves for free) and then let him blow your whole transfer budget on a whole load of ageing midfielders on long term contracts and past-it and overweight or not up to it strikers when its blatently obvious we only have a handful of defenders, and then sit back and watch as his side cant win a game, slide to rock bottom in the league and have the worst goal difference in the country. Or

b) Appoint a man who has been involved in the dressing room at the club for 20 years, who knows the workings of the place inside out, let him appoint 2 assistants - one who has experience of coaching our reserves and kids, the other who although having only recently having stopped playing his whole career in the lower leagues, has already shown an interest in coaching and gaining his badges and offering his services to coach kids, let the new manager try and get rid of some of the deadwood left by the previous man, use a FRACTION of the money saved to bring in players in THE POSITIONS WE NEED THEM, stabilise the club, and give us a HOPE of staying up.

OK so from what I have heard we were very poor against Oldham. But unless Johnson wins the lottery 20 weeks in a row and can then afford to bring Alex Ferguson in with Wenger as his number 2 what do people want? We knew from the moment Barnes was appointed that the season would be a write-off. But if Les can salvage ANYTHING from the season - if we scrape safety by one goal on the last day of the season - then we should all be eternally grateful for him.

Look at Stockport. Without Les that is where we would be right now. Adrift and without hope.

Parry out? Dont be so stupid.

 

[Tartantranmere64]

Gillingham 0 Rovers 1. Parry out, right enough!

 

[Mal]

Gillingham, Parry In, Southend, Parry Out, Leyton Orient, Parry In, Huddersfield, Parry In, Brentford, Parry Out Thought I'd get my fickle views in, in advance

 

[Ian]

Haha - it certainly is a fickle game! The fight is on!! SWA!! \\/

 

[smilingmart]

Les Parry, Wayne Allison and Shaun Garnett are the holy trinity..

 

[SonkORLY?]

Football fans are so far beyond fickle that we should probably invent a new word to describe ourselves

 

[SCooperSomersaults]

So true. It's amazing what 1 result can do too. From dreading the game after Oldham to loving the game after Gillingham. It's a funny old game.

 

[TheBunnyBellEnd]

I was delighted with the result on Tuesday and it has put us right back in the mix. However My opinion still stands, Les needs to stay till the end of the season whatever happens, he has earned the right to finish what he has started whether it all ends in tears remains to be seen. I guarantee there will be highs and lows before this season is out although I have to say what is pleasing is to see the lads bounce back afetr a shocking result against Oldham.
To me the same problem still stands, whatever happens this season you can nearly guarantee that the wage budget will be cut further next season. Daniels, Logan, Sordell and Bakayogo are all likely to leave plus any players who are out of contract. Without investment we will be in exactly the same position next season having to rebuild a squad without the funds to do it. In my opinion the club and supporters rather than looking to a new manager should be doing all they can to find someone who is willing to take the helm from PJ. This is definately something that needs to be sorted before the end of the season so the club is ready to build in pre season.
I dont for one minute want a Notts county situation, rather someone who is willing to come in and invest sensibly with a 3-4 year plan to help move the club forward. I appreciate this is easier said than done and we are not the most attractive prospect as an investable business but to me while we have a chairman that does not want to be here (and when you consider some of the strange decisions that have been made) we will continually just drift along, eventually the inevitable will happen and whether this season or next we will go down, and to be honest with our current financial plight we probably would be a mid table side at best.

 

[Ian]

No-one wants to invest in this club. PJ has had the club up for sale numerous times. Were stuck with him and he's stuck with us. I think we're wasting our time looking down that route. Les was given a bit more money to do something with, so there are still options.

The most important aspect is keeping the good players we have. We lost some good players last year and it will only get worse should we lose the ones you mentioned in your previous post.

You've got to keep the good ones if possible and build around them.
Sounds easy eh?! lol

 

[Boz]

Aside from Zoum, those you mention are loan players destined to return to their parent clubs at the end of the season, or month in Marvin's case, so it's not a realistic benchmark to talk about keeping them. I would hope that whatever league we are in and whoever is in charge we will have a more balanced recruiting programme than that adopted by Mr Barnes. It is inevitable that we'll have a few Premiership/Championship reserves as loanees to bolster the squad.

 

[bigmart]

In the daily post today les reckons we have the smallest playing budget in the whole league which is rather a worry with the likes of stockport in the league.

Damned good post.

 

[ImTopMan]

Just back from the game, what a load of *****.

No passion.

No inspiration from Parry, no nothing.

I was right all along about this bloke.

Get rid of him.

 

[Ally]

Parry has taken us from bottom and several points from safety, to outside the bottom 4 with a very real chance of staying up. Yes we lost today, but we have 7 points from the last 4 games, so give the 'Parry out' comments a rest eh?

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

I've just got back from my holidays to see Rovers have climbed out of the relegation zone but some people want to see Les Parry sacked. The man has taken a dispirited team with no real reserve cover and no budget left for transfers to where most of us thought was not possible. If he was sacked now, who possibly would want the job? Nobody wanted it before, so who would take it now? Get real ITM.

Huddersfield are a good side and on a run of 10 matches unbeaten. I was amazed to see so many people predicting a 2-goal victory tonight. Tonight's defeat is not the end. We can still stay up if we play as we have over the past two months. Let's get behind Les and the team. Without our support, they probably will go down.

 

[TheBunnyBellEnd]

The only thing that stood out for me at the Huddersfield game was how far we are falling behind teams in our division due to lack of budget and financial constraints. Our team has been assembled on a pittance, a young keeper in Daniels on loan, Logan on Loan, McCready on loan, O'Neill on loan, Sordell on Loan. Collister, Curran, Taylor and Gornell and Cresweel all brought through the youth system. A Load of out of contract players in McLaren, Welsh, Ricketts and Bain and some ageing players who have been there a while in Moore and the irreplacable Goodison. While we build our squad like this teams like Huddersfield can go out and splash cash to assemble a squad of players that they actually want rather than waiting to build a squad with players noone else wants.
No matter what happens this season it will almost be guaranteed that we will be in the same situation next season and part of me is thinking relegation may be whats best so at least we can compete with teams on a similar financial footing next season.

 

[Ian]

Tranmere have absolutely no money to spend. I think the supporters association was getting around 10k together to afford a loan signing. That's what it's come too..

 

[SonkORLY?]

A loan signing wouldn't cost close to £10k
