Ian McParland

Ian McParland

Ian John 'Charlie' McParland (born 4 October 1961 in Edinburgh, Scotland) is a Scottish former professional footballer and currently manager of Notts County. He played professionally as a striker with a number of teams, although is most known for his eight year spell with Notts County.

Playing career

The former striker was with Notts County from 1980 to 1988, and had caught the eye of then Forest manager Brian Clough who wanted to bring him to Forest as a player. It was not to be and after his time at Notts, McParland had spells at Hull City, Walsall, Dunfermline Athletic, Lincoln City, Northampton Town, Instant-Dict (Hong Kong), Eastern AA (Hong Kong), Hamilton Academical and Berwick Rangers.

Coaching And Management

McParland eventually went to Nottingham Forest as a coach. He was with Forest for over 10 years and was the reserve team coach for most of that time. When Gary Megson left 'by mutual consent' in February 2006, he was put in temporary charge with Frank Barlow in a joint first team management role.

He and Barlow were named Managers of the Month for March 2006, when they went 10 games unbeaten, with 6 straight wins. McParland just missed out on equalling a club record of 7 straight wins when Forest fell to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Hartlepool United. Despite Forest narrowly missing out on the League One playoffs, McParland was still the favourite to land the Forest job (with Barlow) on a permanent basis. He equalled a few records as the caretaker manager. After Colin Calderwood was named the permanent successor to Megson, McParland and Barlow became coaches for the Forest first team.

It had been rumoured that McParland had his contract terminated at Forest in the summer of 2007. On 7 August 2007 it was officially announced that he had been made redundant.

He was announced as the new Notts County manager in October 2007.cite news
