Well it's the way of things booler, folks have a right to be cautious after what we have came through... but my thread was all about the potential, I never said he was a genius but what I have seen so far (January window and now) all seems very positive. I can't wait to see Crooks, Windass, Rossiter more of Forrester and (possibly) Barton - and whoever else - all of whom have had great reviews everywhere you look, yes sure we will sign a few dud's (that polish keeper) - but for now I'm un crossing my arms...

He had a hand in them all - he was also sporting director at Burnley FC now promoted to the EPL (do you think as sporting director he had a helping hand?) and with that will come (hopefully) Barton I can see into the future, even if you choose not to... Forrester was nothing to do with McParland. That was Warburton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 If Windass, Crooks and Rossiter become a phenomenal success, then I would label McParland a genius. But now, he's not done anything to warrant that title. It's early days for him and this is his first 'real' transfer window. Warburton did the rest previously.

delamonty 992 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 ffs Some posts on here asking for clarification and what's he done. Clearly, the guy knows a thing or two... and we're doing business that we should all agree is pretty damn good so far. Genius? No one is.. but the Jordan Rossiter signing was in fact.. a bit of genius. Got him early.. beat others to it no doubt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze 14,532 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Just for clarity in this thread I never called Frank McParland a genius..... and I did say the vision is yet to be realised..

As a Liverpool fan i can tell you that is not true, he was sacked because he and Rodolfo Borrell were talking to Man City behind Liverpool's back, once the club found out both of them were sacked Rodolfo went to City and Frankie McP didn't.
