What a strange couple of hours. From the reaction on social media you'd think the majority of our fanbase is located in Warrington. Its the correct decision to let Matt and Robbie go, as has been noted elsewhere the results haven't justified a permanent appointment. This is without taking into account the embarrasing reaction on twitter and facebook and the apparent 'outing' of our new manager by associates of MD.
If the twitter rumours are true and the new manager does turn out to be Nantwich's Phil Parkinson then Nantwich really need to be getting promoted this week if this is to be a credible appointment. If they don't then the statement issued today by the board would seem odd and certainly in my view open themselves up to further.criticism as they've stated they want a manager with experience and a track record of success.
Yet Phil Parkinson (and i'm not intentionally trying to criticise an appointment before its even been made, just observations) is only 36 and barring a decent FA Trophy run has no track record of success either as a player or manager unless he leads them to promotion in the next week or so.
Time will tell of course. If it is Phil Parkinson then for all of our sakes we need him to be a success.
