Sounds to me like speculation/chit chat that somehow become a fact. It may be true but I can't see it.
I don't know Parkin but I do know Steve Ferres a little. SF has many qualities I admire but I honestly think running a SL with a big budget simply isn't one of them. For me he found his level when he help lift us out of the crap post Smith and earlier when we were in NL1 . He is a fighter and a ducker and diver - brilliant at creating something from very little. He was also smart enough to smell a big fat rat in Pearman.
He's also a bit of a maverick in which there is the Steve Ferres way and no other, and from my experience that's wasn't always right. Also a very emotional and passionate bloke where RL is concerned and said it how it is just a little too often for me - that sounds good but it isn't always the the right way.
Not saying it's impossible. Just seems unlikely to me. If Parkin is all folk on here say he is and will run the club in the slick business way suggested I really can't see it working. It just doesn't sound right to me, he's not your man IMO.
That said, in the way most players deserve there big chance maybe Steve does to and he may surprise me - who knows.
Do Ferres and Parkin have a connection outside RL as a matter of interest.
JUST MY OPINION BY THE WAY.
