Now 1/4, with the Heed’s Mike Williamson in to 8/1.

[MarpleAlty]

My biggest worry is that, putting myself in Parky's shoes, it's exactly the type of job that ticks all of the boxes.

They're the biggest team in this league like we were in the Evo Stik - he knew the level like he now knows this one - and we're sadly now Nantwich.

If he lives around the Stoke area then it's in his catchment too.

But as previously stated, the biggest speculation might be on this forum - I wouldn't expect the club to say anything about it, it's not their job to - and others are right, given Parky's burgeoning reputation at this level he'll now be installed on all the bookie's lists for all similar jobs anyway.

I don't have a good feeling about how this is going to play out but one sliver of hope I do have comes from what Phil said to me after the Bromley game:

I'm talking about his answer at around the 7'30" mark. I really hope that sense that his best days here are still ahead of him is what swings it.

Obviously the day will come when we say farewell to Parky.

I’m 80% convinced in my own mind that us having just gone to a FT model he would be desperate to stick around with Neil and have a good go at establishing us as a full time club.

There is of course the other 20% .

It will be nice to hear from a reliable source that he is staying with us.

[PukkaPieman]

Phil and Neil will realise its a big risk, Notts are one of 5 clubs who demand promotion (especially with Forest back in the PL) and a year from now they would be out of a job with their stock fallen low if they fail.

Another year with a track record as a successful full time manager of a full time team at Alty and the world would be their oyster.
Having had full support from the club and fans and just going full time, now is very bad timing for everyone.
Hope they think this through and stay with Alty.

[Thomas H]

This football club is bigger than any manager, yes it would be disappointing if the two managers went but how can anyone blame them when a rather large club come calling.
I assume they are under contract and therefore a compensation payment would be in order and Altrincham as footy club carry on and appoint a better manager and entourage team.
It’s not the end of the world, the board has set us up as a new beginning let’s get on with it with whoever.

This is what I thought until someone mentioned he was over Stoke way (hence the links to Stoke City).

That makes me feel a little bit better about it.

Maybe he's holding out for Crewe if they continue to drop like a stone

Cheer up folks. Parky's gone out to 2/7!

[swindellsworth]

It's the difference in odds between Phil and the 2nd fav that worries me .

WOW - fair play to them, I was genuinely worried about this one - although I'm sure we won't be out of the woods just yet if they're determined to come back with an improved offer.

In Parky and Sorvs we absolutely trust.

Phil Parkinson and Neil Sorvel have decided to turn down an approach from another club.
