| Parsons Has To Go 11:47 - Feb 24 with 634 views | UTS1885 |
Ive seen and heard enough to say that Phil Parsons is totally out of his depth running a Premier League football club. And before someone says it wont be soon, the mentality has to remain that it is one.
The Sport Republic senior managament appointments have been a total disaster be it Parsons or rugby boy Bitcon. We only can pray that Spors can save the day and rescue us from a double relegation
Solak had several months to replace Semmens and should of head hunted the best his money could get . [Post edited 24 Feb 11:48]

To give Parsons the benefit of the doubt a little, he is out of his depth in the football side of things, but he seems to have got the club on an even keel in terms of the way the non football side of things are run.
The fanzones are not my cup of tea and we can all go on about taking business away from local pubs, but they are popular with the fans and they raise income for the club, we seem to be doing ok on selling hospitality and sponsorship etc.
There are two sides to football clubs these days and one side not doing well doesn't mean everything is failing.
Perhaps if Sporrs turns out to be good, then things can be turned round. |  |

The only side I and I’m sure 99% of fans care about is the performance on the pitch |  |

Exactly this.
Such a well run club , it can’t afford to keep the club shop open in the week |  |

You are right that is true, but this is 2025 not 1965, running a football club is all about business and generating incomes, the difference between the Premier League money is not that much different about 6 million per place.
What makes the difference between the big and small clubs is not the Premier League money, it is their ability to generate income in other areas, transfer fees would be one and commercial deals, sponsorship etc another.
Everton putting another 12,000 on their capacity gives them another £12 million or so in gate receipts if you just take a normal seat, but it is then their ability to milk those extra 12,000 people, some in corporate and fanzones etc, plus of course merchandising, it all adds up.
You are right all most fans care about is results on the pitch, but without the off the field incomes we would all be in League One & Two | |

A great example of Parsons' running of the non-football side of the business was the FA Cup ticket pricing. To Nick's point, sensible pricing would have attracted more casual fans, which in turn would have boosted revenue from the shop, food & drink etc.
The fact that the clear and obvious Swansea mistake was repeated for the Burnley game suggests that Parsons hasn't got really a clue about revenue generation. |  | | |
