No it isn't, he's won 2 games FFS!!

There's no comparrision to be made. If on the strength of 2 games people would rather stick with Parky than get someone with a proven track record at all levels of the game then fair enough.

But to answer your question...if Parky was doing well when the Takeover happened, then IMHO the decent thing would be to let him remain as manager – But with the way football is now run, when has DECENCY or morality ever been taken into consideration.

With only a week to go of the transfer window and us looking like a settled side I'd say keep Parky now. Although Parky has had his hands tied in the transfer market, this is still his squad as the one's he doesn't want have been released and the one's he wants have stayed. Who's to say Curbs would want to keep the same players? If he didn't it would mean yet more upheavel and that would be damaging imo.

The ships just started to level out on an even keel - lets not start rocking itn just for the sake of it.

Talkeover completed asap, 3 or 4 signings to deepen the squad in defence and attack (and left wing) and give Parky full backing - that should see us through to a good season imo.

Don't mind the idea of Curbs coming into the backroom to help act as a buffer between the board and the playing staff though. In fact he'd be well suited to that kind of role imo, as long as final say on playing decisions was left to Parky - he has a good eye for a player and always had a good understanding of working within a budget. P'raps if he'd been around in that role during Pards reign, the board wouldn't have been suckered into some of the silly deals that got signed.]]> Parky or Curbs http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=522038#Comment_522038 http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=522038#Comment_522038 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 08:25:20 -0400 101
Parky deserves chance as he has won this league with Colchester before however Curbs well there is no replacement for Curbs the messiah.]]> Parky or Curbs http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=522385#Comment_522385 http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=522385#Comment_522385 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:12:57 -0400 American_Addick I certainly would have fired him after the conclusion of last season. In either case, the grounds were easily justified by the record.

I would have replaced him during preseason, had the takeover gone through and the money was available.

But he is still in the job, and I wish him well.

I still have some serious doubts, but am pleased by the start. How much of it is due to Parky, and how much is down to the poor competition in the third division, is still very much in question.

If Parky gets us promotion, then he should be allowed to carry on, even with his previous failures at The Championship level. He would have earned it then.
But no promotion, and I will be firmly back in the "replace him" camp.]]> Parky or Curbs http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=522388#Comment_522388 http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=522388#Comment_522388 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:17:47 -0400 Dazzler21 Parky or Curbs http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=522530#Comment_522530 http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=522530#Comment_522530 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:28:13 -0400 Weegie Addick
It would be disastrous to change that now - even for Curbs - just when some confidence and, remarkably, stability is returning to the playing side of the club at least.

To do what Parky has done, given the financial meltdown and rife takeover speculation all summer, is nothing short of remarkable. Imagine coping with that in your job! Appreciate it is still early days, but we are already genuine promotion contenders this season and could go from strength to strength.

And I'm certainly not going to argue with uncle on this matter.]]> Parky or Curbs http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=522616#Comment_522616 http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=522616#Comment_522616 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 04:35:43 -0400 Stuart the Red Parky or Curbs http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=522618#Comment_522618 http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=522618#Comment_522618 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 04:40:58 -0400 dabos Posted By: Stuart the RedA couple of seasons ago Curbs' name was being bandied about as a possible England manager.

Right, Carly ...... good point.

Curbs always appeared to have 100% backing from the Board, worked interactively with them ........and always had total job security.

What a contrast to poor old beleaguered Parky ...... no resources, no tangible support from Board or fans - just a man putting his finger into the dyke until the club gets it's act together.

And despite all that and no money, not even knowing whether he's still got a job, he's put together a winning side with the best of what's left and crumbs from other club's tables.]]> Parky or Curbs http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=523474#Comment_523474 http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=523474#Comment_523474 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 06:45:28 -0400 oohaahmortimer Parky or Curbs http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=523482#Comment_523482 http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=523482#Comment_523482 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 06:49:15 -0400 Oggy Red Posted By: oohaahmortimeri think if you draw 3 games lose 7 in your 'caretaker' period as manager when the club was in desperate need of a boost and you were part of the mismanagement that got charlton into this mess and you were given the job for whatever time it was i'd consider that backing from the boardroom

another few games without us crumbling and we may have laid that ghost to rest....

At worst this is a false dawn and Parky has earnt himself a few more weeks of gainful employment, but I don't think so, I sense a unity and shared purpose that has been awol for the last two/three seasons.

I was against retaining him at the end of last season but he's conducted himself with great dignity, not easy given the circumstances on and off the pitch, and has worked hard and for that he deserves our respect and support. But for his/our sakes we need to get some players in and soon, this is the weakest squad that I can remember and if we don't strengthen it then when the inevitable injuries and suspensions kick-in we'll lose ground and I'd hate to see a potentially great season veer off course because we have to start playing kids fresh from the youth teams in key games.]]> Parky or Curbs http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=523516#Comment_523516 http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=28263&Focus=523516#Comment_523516 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 07:12:49 -0400 mascot88 Posted By: Oggy RedOnce Curbs has won his case against West Ham in November, he'll be appointed manager at Charlton before Christmas.

Parky is however proving he is the man for the moment (like many others I thought he should have gone with Pardew). Witnessing first hand the events of yesterday at Prenton Park proved this to me and that I was too quick to blame him for being asociated with the Pardew era. Great spirt in the camp now and brilliant interaction with the fans. Never thought I would be hearing "Parky, Parky give us a wave". And he did!

Id still absolutely keep Parky, hes been doing a blinding job, Id also give him access ro some money, but from a business sense Curbs is the FAR safer bet......

Potential for another club unrest ahead? Absolutely....

Imagine if Parky got us promoted and then got the chop to let Curbs in with all the money... very interesting times ahead.......

SO as the question asks....

Imagine the takover happened 10 mins ago and have money and a willing curbishley waiting in the wings....
