His interviews post match on Saturday were very negative, blaming the owners etc and I guess they’re looking at fulham getting a 2-2. But bournemouth are rubbish, they’ve signed nobody and sort of scraped up last season. I don’t actually disagree with it cos I don’t particularly rate parker certainly at that level , and he took fulham down with a whimper, but sacking him 2 days before the end of the window is mad!
Statement from club is interesting as it suggests he wanted new players but the statement makes it clear club sustainability is the priority. Can't disagree with them- thought SP came over as bit whiney in the post match interview, something like 'we need help', so assume he's gone in saying he wants x,y and z and stamped his little feet before being shown the door. Interesting line - 'We must also show belief in and respect for one another.'
expect to see a German/Dane/Portuguese in situ soon .. the type to crack the whip and get things done
For Parker, keeping a small club with little cash and a weak playing staff was always going to be a tough task .. the Liverpool fiasco albeit an always thankless game against a snorting monster of a club humiliated by it's N W rivals and seeking to reassert itself always had 'Danger For the Manager' written all over it
Be difficult for Parker to get another managerial job i m o
Didn't see the interviews after the weekend game, so wasn't aware that there was an issue with the owners. Makes more sense I guess.
Asked if this will be the lowest point in their season, Parker said: "At this moment in time, where we currently are, I can see some more to be honest with you."
I know alot on here will think of karma etc. with what happened here, a bit of a shame but probably best now so he doesn't have Bournemouth going down with a wimper on his CV. It was clear he wasn't happy going into the season and the club wont back him in the transfer market so seems the most logical thing to be pushed/ leave now.
I thought his comments after the game Saturday were abysmal, so utterly negative. One second he was talking about picking up the lads and getting confidence back into them, next he was saying they weren't good enough and demanding transfers. He must have forgotten Bournemouth have a ground with 11,000 capacity, they are unlikely to ever compete in the PL for long. And given they have a Russian owner are unlikely to be throwing multi £m's about and drawing attention to themselves!
Sadly for their fans I can see them timing down the leagues and potentially even going bust when this mini period of unbelievable success ends and the owner losses interest or is sanctioned.
Daft decision. They have a Championship squad which is bound to struggle. If they didn't want Parker managing in the PL, then give the new person the summer to try and get his ideas across.
Bad bad manager, Fulham should have walked the league when he was manager and the scraped through. Bournemouth should have got 2nd easily last season and they nearly blew it. Getting beat 9v0 in a premier league game is a disgrace.

That explains the lack of signings then. Assume his assets are frozen and he isn't allowed to invest.

We all know that we only get promoted with an ex-player in charge 😃
