i 1000% agree with the op

I think you should take a punt and read between the lines. BFS is nobody's fool. He wants to keep his unique record intact, but next season will be very hard. So he won't burn his bridges and have no chance of getting appointed somewhere else. But if you want to believe exactly what he says...that's up to you. But there's egg and there's faces...

Well, only time will tell, but I have my doubts that football management has seen the last of him.

Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing!

Any article that is written can be twisted around and there are always doubters that think everything has a double meaning and can't take people for their word. Do you honestly think that Allardyce would be stupid enough, specially after the England balls up to get his representatives to put out a statement saying that this is his last managers job and then a short period later join another club. Steve Parish would have him over a barrel, not only that it would make Allardyce an even bigger fool. Do you honestly think that Parish would just sit back and go " ok Sam fair do' s without a fight or agreeing clause to the fact specially after the Pullis fiasco. Allardyce has make his choice and has stated that he will not change his mind as reported on sky sports last night. He has gone there is nothing anyone can do disappointed, hell yes I really thought we had that bit of stability this club needs in the managers department. I expect Parish and board are as stunt as we all are over this.

Sometimes I really wonder if family are really worth it.
Because it doesn’t matter how time and affection you give
It’s never enough

Always makes me laugh when numpty's come out with stuff like this, saying that parish has to go is like me going into my boss today, who actually owns the firm and telling him to fcuk off out of it because I don't think he's doing a very good job!!

If I understand correctly he had a six month break clause in the Contract, presumably to guard against relegation, but he has decided he is not up for it.

Personally I think he did a great job, he left at the earliest possible opportunity and did us a great service, even if he decided that he misses it so much that he takes another role I don't think he has done anything wrong. Even though I would have loved to see him stay.

Maybe he will now be seen as the go to guy for clubs in trouble in January. Hopefully that will not be us. Good luck to him, good luck to us.

That is all.

I think More importantly is Sammy Lee staying.

Right at this moment we don't need rescuing. All we need is a capable manager.

Shame that his decency didn't extend to hanging around for a few weeks to help Parish with the transition as there are decisions to make regarding expiring contracts, players to sell and new players to buy before everyone half decent is snapped up

As for the OP's original proposition, all that I can say is, be careful of what you wish for.
