It's clearly not. The buck stops with the CEO regardless of the nature of the industry, and Parsons has overseen and contributed to a debacle that has potentially cost the club in excess of £100m - any other scenario and he would have been dismissed or fallen on his sword. The 'on half term holiday' line is particularly mind-boggling and actually leads me to think that the Board holds the long-suffering fans in contempt to a level I didn't think possible. They seem to think that they can wing this, and that Solak will underpin their decision - fuck a doodle do!
