Which says amongst other things......
The Layer Road club have refused to accept his resignation but Hull chairman Adam Pearson gave more than a hint that Parkinson was the man he wanted to replace Peter Taylor in the KC Stadium hot-seat.
The timing of Parkinson's announcement was interesting - it arrived just 24 hours after Taylor was officially unveiled as the new manager at fellow Championship club Crystal Palace.
Pearson has stopped short of naming Parkinson as his main target - in fact his only one - but he was set to make an approach for the talented 38-year-old U's boss yesterday.
On hearing the news of Parkinson's shock resignation, Pearson said: ?If Phil Parkinson has resigned then that's something that we need to take note of and act upon. It's an interesting development. It's an opportunity we will look at today (Thursday).?
Hull are fully prepared to pay the U's a big sum for poaching their manager, not least because they received ?250,000 themselves, from Crystal Palace to compensate for losing Taylor to the Selhurst Park club.
Tigers chairman Pearson is expecting a long, drawn-out procedure. He remarked: ?It might take time.?
Although not referring to Parkinson by name, he did go on to describe the man he was targeting to Hull's local newspaper, the ?Hull Daily Mail? - and it bears an uncanny resemblance to the current Colchester boss!
He said: ?All I can say so far is that he's contracted to another club, and that he's young. Obviously conversations will be had and plans put in place to take things forward.
?I couldn't honestly put a time frame on it. It depends on how long it takes to get this particular manager and how negotiations go. It could take a long time,? concluded Pearson.
