There is a possibility that two experienced managers may have been off on their toes because, for whatever reason, they couldn't work with what was on offer. I'm happy to give the owners the benefit of the doubt this time, but if a third manager walks in similar circumstances then questions do need to be asked.

The conspiracy theorists are saying that Sam was annoyed because he couldn't bring in Defoe for £6m and £130,000pw in wages but I'm not convinced.

Sam was a pragmatist who probably had an idea of what his budget was and even made noises in the media about the difficulties of buying players.

My own conspiracy theory is based on the surprise that he showed when told that two of his players that had contracts expiring had just had them extended.

It's a theory that I poo pooed at the time on the basis that I didn't think Parish would be that stupid but Sam's hasty walk out has made me change my mind

Definitely time to stop this nonsense.

What did he do to "get rid" of Allardyce? Blow up the Manchester Arena? Get his wife to ask him to hang up his boots? Strew frogs in his flat?

And he sacked Pardew because he had turned to s***e, and that decision was not exactly controversial.

Normally, seeing any comment from you makes me bristle with frustration But this time, sir. I salute you. Well said

Parish is the Chairman and a chairman's job is to plan the long term strategy and not to get involved in the minutiae of footballing matters and if the rumours are true that he does go over the manager's head and sign players and extend contracts then that is very wrong and if he continues to do that he will end up with such a bad reputation that no half decent manager will want to come here

And what if they are nothing but a loud of f***ing bollocks? You've obviously decided not to entertain that possibility

You're a bit late I'm afraid, this speculation thread is dead since it was confirmed by SA why hes left.

If what I write caused you to bristle with frustration Willo would have made you melt down completely sometime last season.

You've made that assumption from the school of ridiculous logic I suppose

Never let a fact get in the way of a good conspiracy theory. I'm just off to chat with Elvis and I'll ask him what he thinks.

Could be. It's pointless speculating, we are where we are. I am not sure why we should be 'asking questions' if another manager leaves, the answer remains the same.

We don't own the club, we don't get a say. And hey, nobody's perfect. Even if some clever clogs have uncovered a weakness in Mr Parish that doesn't make him overall a bad Chairman, relatively speaking.

And Freedman went for more wages.
Parish has done nothing but good for CPFC.

Now that I've calmed down a bit, at the end of the day, SP is more heavily invested in CPFC than all of us and has the club's best interest at heart. I apologise to him for previous hasty words but please forgive me as you know the emotional roller-coaster we're on!

The tension is between league success and financial success. Managers are judged on the former and owners on the latter. As supporters we tend to see the former more than the latter, but without healthy finances we won't get either. So, let's get behind our very astute and hard-nosed businessman, SP.
