Has that really just appeared on Sky? It’s very old news.

Agree it has been on the cards all summer but Sky are now saying he’ll be in by Monday.

Hardly a surprise. They’ve been telling us that all last week, that it’s all been about him negotiating his exit from Fulham.

Not arguing T, to be honest I’d not been watching it closely and thought it had already happened, tbh

Been going on for weeks but Parker wanted to avoid being sacked and Bournemouth didn’t want to pay the buy out clause for him which had led to Parker & Fulham negotiating a termination agreement.

As for Bournemouth, Woodgate remains manager until his contract ends which I think is Wednesday this week. Eight years with one manager and then three changes in under a year.

Can I be the first to say Dyche to Fulham ?

I know but 6 different managers in 6 months is a tad different to 7 in 3.5 years

[tiger76]

Strange appointment for me, he's done ok at Fulham, and did get them up again, but he looked a broken man towards the end of the PL campaign.

It seems bizarre that you get a club relegated and yet there's interest in your services, but I guess Bournemouth see something in Parker that makes them think he'll get them back to the big time, I have my doubts TBH, especially if Bournemouth have to shred a few stars.

[ClaretTony]

Be honest with you I don’t get all this Parker hype. I know Fulham is a strange setup but he hasn’t done anything to warrant all the publicity he’s getting.

..plus hes spent a few bob in vain, on players, loans and wages. It shows the shortage of "pure British managers " that the media elevate him

I can't remember which of those only lasted a really short time - was it Buchan ?

And to think at the time I thought Buchan and Cavanagh might be ok as they were ex Man Utd. How wrong can you possibly be....

[ClaretTony]

Very wrong. Buchan came over well initially but it didn't last and as for Cavanagh, what a mess.

[tiger76]

No I agree, sure he got Fulham back up, but they returned to the Championship with a whimper, and they never really looked like surviving at any point in the season.

And yet for some reason the media seem to be falling over themselves over Parker, I think he has the potential to be a decent manager given more experience, but he's not exactly proven he's top drawer just yet.

And it's telling that it's a Championship club he's going too, now he may be successful at Bournemouth, but I wouldn't put your mortgage on that being the outcome. And even if he does get them back to the Prem he'll face the same challenges he encountered at Fulham, and that's how will he keep them there.

He's still in the very early stages of his managerial career, but he's in danger of becoming one of those managers who can get teams promoted from the Champ, but who's found out of his depth in the PL.

Served up some of the worst football I have had the misfortune to watch. Typically that was the season i saw the most games in a season, over 40 with cup competitions.

Including Buchan’s last stand at Chester

Including Buchan’s last stand at Chester

4-0 humiliation. Nearly got nicked at full time with Andy Short for having such a go at the players. Peter Devine laughing at the protests as he walked off didn't help the situation. Coach load of Nelson Gasworkers refusing to get on the bus until the players and staff came out and heard how angry we were. I think it also delayed the departure of our more sensible supporters coach.....

Our departure was delayed by some considerable time although I’m not so sure about the ‘more sensible’ label.

That was it for Buchan. We never saw him again.

… yes but then it was out of the frying pan into the fire with Rock on Tommy in his united cap…

[RammyClaret61]

I thought Benson was the worst. That FA Cup loss at a soggy Plough Lane was one dire trip I remember.

On a par with Cavanagh to be honest

[ClaretTony]

Parker departure from Fulham confirmed and Bournemouth have confirmed that Woodgate will leave when his contract expires this Wednesday.

[ClaretTony]

And Bournemouth have now announced Parker appointment

[Vegas Claret]

it'll be very interesting to see who Fulham go for, no doubt they'll be given a decent wedge to spend

Eddie Howe ?

Sky Bet currently have Wilder & Cooper as the most likely, followed by Howe and Dyche. That list is somewhat predictable.

Seen there was talk of Favre getting the Palace job, this after he had advanced talks, was about to be appointed then remembered he needing a longer rest. Wonder if a job he fancied more didn't come up somewhere else and has now gone back to Palace saying he has had his rest now.

Spurs and Palace have become funny really as one after another appears to walk away from the jobs

Seems like Fulham are going to get Marco Silva as their next manager -

[elwaclaret]

Not much worse than the Bournemouth one, I wouldn’t have thought Vegas. Continuity an all that, both wasteful and over rated.

what are the board's thoughts on Jonathan Woodgate? Personally, while I didn't expect it of him, I thought he did quite well

He's another one who somehow always finds work despite his dubious record in England, I 'll be surprised if he lasts until Xmas TBH.

[Aclaret]

Silva been out of work for 18 months, which says it all, but, managed to blagg his way to a 3 year deal with Fulham. How does he do it ?

IDK I guess he must have a good agent.

apparently, like other Portuguese managers (and ours), he does a very good power point presentation

[Elizabeth]

Chester , this is a complement.

You’re like that uncle that the kids think is boring but after a family gathering go away saying uncle Chester is cool

That's fine as long as he doesn't turn up at TM doing one I'll be

Overrated manager moves to an overrated club

[claretonthecoast1882]

Massive promotion boost appointing Marco Silva.


Sadly for Fulham the boost is more for Sheff Utd, Bournemouth and others

[Devils_Advocate]

Silva had some great success abroad, took over a hopeless Hull side mid season and delivered results that had he been manager for the full season they would have stayed up.

he started off brilliantly at Watford and got his head turned by Everton and after that he was a disaster. Finished 8th with Everton which was about meets expectations and then struggled the next season and probably deserved to be sacked

His record abroad was wining the Portuguese second division, getting a job at Sporting who he finished 3rd and won the cup. He lost his job because he didnt wear a club suit in an FA Cup match. He got a job at Olymiacos where he broke the European record for most consecutive domestic wins in a row whilst walking the league.

In retrospect his record across his career is a lot better than most Championship managers so whilst noone can say if it will work or not on paper its hardly a poor appointment. I would say the question mark around Silva is more to do with his character than his management ability as a lot of the time things have gone wrong and/or he has left a club is to do with off the pitch activities.
