Scott Parker

[Pearcey]

Gone!

[Pearcey]

Dyche to Bournmuff?

[burnleymik]

Hard to recover from a 9-0 loss.

[Jimmymaccer]

Well he’s had a good Bank Holiday weekend…….

[Hipper]

How many times as Hasenhuttl done it?

[ClaretTony]

How many times as Hasenhuttl done it?

Twice, and one of them at home.

[Colburn_Claret]

Madness, regardless of Saturdays result.

[Murger]

A bit harsh.

[agreenwood]

Sounds like the owner didn’t like him asking for money to spend.

From the owner:

“I would like to place on record my gratitude to Scott and his team for their efforts during their time with us. Our promotion back to the Premier League last season under his tenure will always be remembered as one of the most successful seasons in our history.

“However, in order for us to keep progressing as a team and a Club as a whole, it is unconditional that we are aligned in our strategy to run the club sustainably. We must also show belief in and respect for one another. That is the approach that has brought this club so much success in recent history, and one that we will not veer from now. Our search for a new head coach will begin immediately.”

[dibraidio]

Beat Villa and Norwich in the cup, lost to Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool. Way to give a bloke a chance!

Surely nobody expected anything more from the last three games than a trio of drubbings?

Is this because of the 9-0 result or his s**t jackets/cardigans

Hell of a pitch to the next manager is that. In other words, the next manager needs to come in and try she save them from relegation with a squad Parker just said was “ underequipped at this level”.

He's been having a running battle with the owner and board for some time over recruitment and I think his underequipped message at Anfield was perhaps the final straw. Just read that they've spent £24m this summer. That compares well with the £150m spent at Forest.

[warksclaret]

Madness-you half expect a tonking from the sides like Man City & Liverpool. It shows how level headed our Directors remained when we went through bad spells, and SD will appreciate this when looking for a new opportunity. The decision re Parker will have Gerrard and Rodgers looking over their shoulders. I think Hassenhuttle is the "new Dyche " of the PL

[wilks_bfc]

If a team loses 9-0 is that solely down to the manager or do the players have to take some responsibility for it?

Not wanting to sound all “Roy Keane” but they only received one yellow card in that game, and that was in the first half.

Yes it was Liverpool and 5-0, but you at least go out and try not to lose the second half

[Top Claret]

Parker had words with the chairman about the lack of transfer budget earlier in the summer, it now appears that they once again had words after the 9-0 defeat which led to him being sacked.

I would be very surprised if Dyche would take the Bournemouth job even if it was offered to him

Spending in PL this season has been frightening. Half the league might top £100m by Thursday.

Makes you wonder how we’d have fared had we stayed up. Don’t think we’ve ever shelled out more than £25-30m in a window and even that was with big sales to fund them.

Was looking at some of the figures yesterday, the PL has moved way beyond us now.

[Stayingup]

Football is such a cut throat business now. Maybe I am a traditionalist but the mega money clubs have actually ruined the EPL for me. I wish they had left to join this European Super league. Some of the BIG clubs can't even compete now in the EPL. The clubs that get promoted to it usually go down again shortly after. Bournemouth being an example.

[Steddyman]

Hopefully Forest come crushing crashing back down to the Championship this year, then other clubs learn that isn't what you are supposed to do when promoted.

[welsbyswife]

Sadly, I think that is right. Can't compete with massive corporate clubs or those with extremely rich backers. Particularly when FFP rules seem to be a joke. I keep reading that Newcastle say they can't go mad with spending due to FFP so how is it that Forest, a much smaller club, can spend that amount? The whole thing is unsustainable.

[BurnleyFC]

No sympathy.

The wally should’ve stayed at Fulham.

And if they do win games and stay up, its because they play dinosaur football.

27th May 1992 Sky invented Football and over the years destroyed it.

[boatshed bill]

£800 of poor taste

[warksclaret]

Wonder how Mr Ryan Christie is feeling this morning

[warksclaret]

I can actually see Bournemouth approaching SD. They will want someone who primarily can keep them up, but secondly without spending much

[Mala591]

Parker to Sunderland?

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Ah good to see Bournemouth have entered the real world of sustainability etc.
More than a few people said this would happen at somepoint.

[Conroysleftfoot]

I think you're spot on with that Tony, I was thinking the same myself.

[Wembley09]

I know they have a poor squad in terms of PL standard, and their transfer business this summer has been underwhelming.

But even when he spent £100 million at Fulham, he didn't keep them up either.

[RVclaret]

Probably Dyche’s best bet at a PL club.

Bourne have been known for playing attractive football in recent times though so that could work against him.

[tiger76]

Crazy to punt the manager 4 games in, if they beat Wolves tomorrow, which they could well do, then they'd be mid-table.

Interesting that Bournemouth's Russian owner is suddenly tightening his belt, wouldn't possibly be related to the Ukraine war would it, and the subsequent crack down on Russian money overseas.

[Stayingup]

Or he could go there play 'atteactive' football and they get pasted regularly.

[RVclaret]

They stayed up under Howe for 4 seasons playing attractive football. Last season got promoted playing decent football. It’s a myth that you get pasted regularly. All about the coaching and recruitment.

[Mattster]

He's a poor manager. With the squad he had at Fulham in the EPL he should have kept them up, with the squads he had with Fulham and Bournemouth he should have walked the league title but instead limped over the line both times.

[daveisaclaret]

Might be a bit harsh but if our manager ever reacted to us losing 9-0 by saying it'll probably happen again I doubt I'd be too impressed.

[bfcjg]

The mardy with the cardy should have just knuckled down and got on with what he had.
The Premier league is poisonous at the moment.

[jojomk1]

Wonder how Mr Ryan Christie is feeling this morning

Pretty chipper I would think especially when he checks his bank balance

Do you think he really cares that Parker has been sacked

Colin will come out of retirement for this one

[LeadBelly]

I'm more in agreement with this and bfcjg's post on this and less with the "poor Scotty" view.

He's a manager- he's got to work within the constraints given to him by his boss/financial people at the club. Nothing to be gained by complaining in public about what the constraints are- he needs to have a debate with his boss about that.

Eddie did well enough with them but it may well be that Parker's purse-strings are tighter I guess.

It'll be interesting to see who Cherries go for/get. Looking at the early odds, the bookies have (approx averaged)
SD 2/1
Wilder 6/1
Nathan Jones c 9/1
Followed by J Terry, G O'Neill, Carrick, Terry etc

[ClaretTony]

No sympathy.

The wally should’ve stayed at Fulham.

From what I'm told, Fulham were delighted when Bournemouth came in for him.

[quoonbeatz]

Crap player, crap manager.

[Woonderbah]

I fear it won't be long til VK gets linked with these jobs

[RVclaret]

Bourne keen on one of our former managerial targets Knutsen from Bodo Glimt

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Probably Dyche’s best bet at a PL club.

Not that they've achieved very much with pretty football

[welsbyswife]

No idea what Bournemouth's budget is but looking at their squad I'd be surprised if the wage bill isn't significantly higher than ours was when we were in the Prem. Hardly a shoe string but possibly still well short of what's required to compete. Makes Pace's claimed ambition of European football look a bit fanciful.

[Paul Waine]

Bournemouth have massive debts - all owed to the owner. The latest set of accounts say that the owner would only ask for the loan to be repaid when the club was able to repay. But, I've read something a few weeks ago that said the owner had now decided that he wants his loan repaying.

Bournemouth have been a regular user of Macquarie to accelerate the money from outgoing transfers. I wonder if the owner has been in touch with MSD about a loan - to be used to repay some of the money the club owes him?

Bit late in the transfer window to be bringing in a new manager/coach.

[TheFamilyCat]

Is this because of the 9-0 result or his s**t jackets/cardigans

They prefer a gilet at Bournemouth
