Sack Parry

[Huyton_Red]

Parry "The ground will not be expandable, we feel that 61,000 will be enough to meet our future requirements"

 

Parry "We will not be starting a television channel as we do not beleive it is feasible untill the issue of individual clubs negotiating their own TV rights comes along"

 

etc etc

 

They have only owned the club for a month and already two major changes in policy

That always struck me as being a bit unambitious.

It always struck me as toeing the line for the initial planning application.

So Hicks & Gillet change policy on two points and that's a reason to sack Parry? Flawless logic....

Yes, but the initial figure wasn't the issue for me though.

 

My problem was building it so as not to allow for future increases which didn't make sense. Surely in this day and age we could toe the line with the initial planning application but still factor in potential future increases?

61000 was a good point to get the planning permission then they appear to have just said to the planners ok we have permission is it ok if we change a few bits like expand the Kop & increase capacity to 80,000 & the planners appear to have said yeah no problem not major changes really! Cheers easy!

But Man Utd and Newcastle I'm sure said more than once that they couldn't expand but then they did/will. I don't believe what any of them say!!!

 

If Parry had said we could expand there would have been more of a struggle to get initial planning permission I'm sure. But if we had built and then years down the line said we want to expand we could have been ok.

Nah just Huyton's logic.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

been a while since we last had a sack parry post.

 

I had almost forgotten he ought to be.

Are those actual quotes or have you just invented them to prove a point?

If they're actual, then sack Parry for misspelling 2 out of 5 words.

[Billy Dane]

Haven't seen or heard from him since the takeover, thought he had been sacked, or has he been sent on a tie improvement course?

I was watching a bit of the homecoming from 2005 on DVD yesterday - and Parry was sat there on top of the bus wearing a fez

Haha, at least he didnt have one of those dodgy Carlsberg hats on

[Molby]

I think Parry will be head of the FA or something soon

 

which will be a big improvement for the FA, regardless of his limitations

 

might make me support England, in a perverse kind of way

But as has been said, it depends on whether or not you believe him.

 

If we let slip we intend to expand and it is interpreted that we were intending to expand when we applied for 61000 seats, I would guess we would be in trouble.

In the past, I didn't believe the owner of the club had sufficient business knowledge or experience to access Parry. Thats changed; now I'll leave it to hicks and Gillette and their families to look after the business side, including defining Parry's role and responsibilities.

Be interesting to know how Parry's role has changed now that he's supposed to look after the football side of things... is this player xfer negotiations, budgetary discussions? Surely this is a demotion from his previous role, and it is just a matter of time before he gets a golden handshake.

no , planning permission has been granted.. it cant be taken away by them mentioning that they'll want to increase it after its all built.
