Gritt gone, Spring jumps, Randolph looking, Parky rumoured...

The big squeeze at the Valley has now cost Steve Gritt his job which will have Mark Kinsella and Tim Breacker looking over their shoulders. Matt Spring has also seen the writing on the wall and has sensibly opted for a new deal at Leyton Orient and will be looking forward to early revenge in our first televised fixture of the season. With youth players being loaned out and everyone up for grabs, it's disappointing to see that the one player apparently offered a new deal, Darren Randolph, is considering a potential move to the mighty Mothers. Surely we haven't fallen to point at which playing for Motherwell is a more attractive option? Yassin Moutaouakil's move up there last season had to be heavily financed by us but presumably the offer made to Randolph from Mr Murray is underwhelming.

And finally, Leicester City are rumoured to have considered Parky as a possible managerial candidate at the Walker Stadium. There are still plenty at the Valley who think he's not up to the job but it would be a new twist in our fortunes if our manager was made a better offer and left us in the lurch.

  1. To be honest Dave, after the way he's been treated by many, including me, I'd be amazed if he didn't take any job offered to him, and Leicester is a much bigger club than us right now.

    He is almost certainly going to be given no money to build a side, have a much smaller squad, and the fans will still demand to be promoted this season - and this is his last contracted year.

    Frankly, if I were Parkinson, I'd be off in a second.
