Can you blame him? Amount of crap he got for making the move and progressing his career away from Charlton. He was too good for Charlton and had every right to go to Chelsea to try and realise his potential.
Just like any individual in any trade, if someone comes sniffing offering a lot more money for your wares you would take it. Get over it.
So, R ot W works for Lidl. Tesco come sniffing and offer to double your wage. R ot W accepts that offer and moves on to bigger things. What a greedy c***!! Me, I call it human nature and common sense!

I call it a greedy c***. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. All I do know is that it ripped the heart out of the greatest Charlton side I had ever witnessed >1982

Except he was on about 20k a year
Unlike a Lidl worker
F****** Whoosh!!!!!!!!! It's relative!!!
Not really. It's relative when you are on shite money. Not when you are a millionaire
And he cost us our only chance of European football in my lifetime Money grabbing cnut
Still pleases me that he won f**k all after he left us.
Don't think it was really about winning anything. It was about money. Pretty much the same as any footballer the world over. He's had a good career out of it. Yes,he F**** us over somewhat but still one of the best I've seen in the shirt.
Always good to remember that the Sun actively assisted in the move by running a false story that the deal had already been completed, when in fact the Charlton board were still desperately trying to stop it.
And good to remember that he spunked his money away in Esher bookies for the first year, while playing for Chelsea reserves, when he could have propelled Charlton into Europe, and himself into the England squad, if he had only stayed until the summer.
We had failed in the latter part of earlier seasons when Parker had been there hadn't we? So why would that season had been any different? Also, we finished 7th? Did people really expect we'd finish in the top four? Really?
And how can the sale of one player 13 years ago be held in any way at all responsible for where we are now? Regardless of all the Roland shenanigans which I would say has been a much bigger reason(!) let's not forget we got £10m which was left to Alan Curbishley to spend so we weren't exactly left up shit creek were we?
Also Parker did an interview before a recent Fulham v Charlton game saying how much he still loved the club so don't really see the point of this thread.
Never understood the whole 'he just went for the money' argument. Yes he was getting a ton more money, but he was also joining Chelsea - a club much much bigger than Charlton.
Yes he might have ended up in their reserves but he would have been a fool to not back himself and give it a go to get Premier League, Champions League medals.
He ended up playing in a major competition for England and had a career at the top level for a number of great clubs.

I might be in the minority but I actually think the Murphy, Smertin & Kishishev midfield was better.

He has done very well for himself, get over it.
He was club captain and the highest paid player in the club's history, we were doing brilliantly in the league and looking good for Europe.
Chelski hadn't won anything at that point and were buying everyone going and at the time not looking too good for a top four finish..
If it wasn't about money he would have handed in a transfer request waiving his cut of the transfer fee.
He acted like a spoiled brat to get his own way so fuck him, I'm glad the prick never got his hands on a winners meddle.
Hope he stubs his little toe every morning for the rest of his life
We got £10m for Parker. Some four years later we got relegated to League 1 at which point we released, on a free, a player who could have been an integral part of our midfield for years to come. A player who is now not only performing consistently well in the PL but is also an international and has played over 200 games for that Club. The irony is that the lad in question happens to be Parker's brother in law.
We forgive our Club for letting Harry Arter go for nothing because anyone can make a mistake. In the same way we did with George Boyd, Michael Turner etc etc. Because anyone can make a mistake can't they? Probably £20m worth of talent with just those three alone but, hey, as I say, anyone can make a mistake.
Unless, of course, your name is Scott Parker. Because you Scott are responsible for all the ills that have befallen our Club in the last decade. And we will continue to blame you for the fact that we would have gone on to not only make Europe but we would have won the Champions League to boot - as well as the PL of course.
And we will remind Scotty about this on every single occasion we get a chance to. Because Scotty, unlike Defoe who never kicked a ball in anger for us, or Gomez or Lookman or Poyet or Harriott or Jenkinson or whoever else left us before they served a decent length of time with us, you only played 150 games for us. The joke of our current plight is that we only have two players in the whole of our current squad who have actually played more games than Scott did for us.
We all make mistakes. Ignoring the financial aspect, if being Player of the year at numerous Clubs, PFA Young Player of the Year, FWA Player of the year, England Player of the Year etc etc is a mistake in some people's eyes, then their idea of success really is in another league. Especially taking into consideration the type of player we are currently hiring and very quickly "firing".
So, perhaps, all I'm saying is that it really is time we all moved on.
We had failed in the latter part of earlier seasons when Parker had been there hadn't we? So why would that season had been any different? Also, we finished 7th? Did people really expect we'd finish in the top four? Really?
And how can the sale of one player 13 years ago be held in any way at all responsible for where we are now? Regardless of all the Roland shenanigans which I would say has been a much bigger reason(!) let's not forget we got £10m which was left to Alan Curbishley to spend so we weren't exactly left up shit creek were we?
Also Parker did an interview before a recent Fulham v Charlton game saying how much he still loved the club so don't really see the point of this thread.
I agree with your 2nd and 3rd paragraph but not the 1st.
Parker left us when we were in 4th position, the team were in top form and Parker was pretty much our best player on the field and he dismantled the team. If Parker stayed I'm sure we'd finish top 6 and Parker would have a chance to play in Europe rather than warming the bench with Lampard and Makelele ahead of him.

If he stayed, he could have replaced Roy Keane at Man Utd.

We'd probably would've got more than £10m as well!

Been a while since I have had to write this. Speak for yourself.
The way he wrangled his way out the club was disgusting. His son was a baby at the time but boy what a terrible example to set to your son and boy what a terrible father Scott Parker is to his son.
Always good to remember that the Sun actively assisted in the move by running a false story that the deal had already been completed, when in fact the Charlton board were still desperately trying to stop it.
And good to remember that he spunked his money away in Esher bookies for the first year, while playing for Chelsea reserves, when he could have propelled Charlton into Europe, and himself into the England squad, if he had only stayed until the summer.
Nice one Prague. Saved me writing it. We only wanted five more months out of him and he would have left a hero. Sorry if my love for my club upsets people who think money is more important than absolutely anything else in the world.
Was gutted when he left, I grew up in that era, and was my idol. Loved the determination, commitment and drive had. Was heart broken when he left, but came to expect it, same as all the others.

He's a Fulham player being interviewed by a Fulham supporting journo for a preview of a Fulham game !
How's that for you.

First on my list for the mess we know find ourselves in. (And there are a fair few names on my list now).
We had failed in the latter part of earlier seasons when Parker had been there hadn't we? So why would that season had been any different? Also, we finished 7th? Did people really expect we'd finish in the top four? Really?
