ARTICLE: Parker pens deal with the Clarets

[Jamesy]

I have got no issue with this appointment. Put it this way, we could have done a lot worse. Welcome Scotty.

[Quicknick]

He has no appeal at all.

He came over very well in the interview.

[bfcjg]

Welcome to Burnley, a town famed for friendliness and welcoming people. Here's my full support.

[Fretters]

Just half listened to the interview whilst watching the Euros and I'm sure he said something about Vincent and Craig leaning on him when they got the job two years ago? That's pretty random, if so, but likely I've misheard!

[Cirrus_Minor]

At least this has now been sorted and the club can crack on with a manager. Good luck.

He mentioned Vincent and Craig. I don't recall the verb 'leaning', although he may have used it. Came over well.

[ClaretTony]

Looking forwards to not signing 11 wingers this summer.

One could be signing very soon

[Vegas Claret]

Really pleased that Jackson and Bellamy are here, that should give him a massive head start in learning about the players and their abilities etc. I just hope the football is entertaining whilst being effective (and that would apply to whoever got the job). Good luck to him and Jensen

[ClaretTony]

I’ve said it previously. He wouldn’t have been my first choice but then I haven’t had the opportunity to meet and interview him to make those judgements. But he’s got my full support.

[Vegas Claret]

One could be signing very soon

Do we know who ?

[Blondeclaret]

New head coach confirmed

See link

Sounds like a good appointment, I believe he’s a good coach and a genuine person, although I still remember him on the Coca Cola adverts giving my age away now

[kentonclaret]

One could be signing very soon

From West Ham

[Dark Cloud]

We were getting to the point where we desperately needed somebody and tbf, although not my first choice, we could have done a whole lot worse. He'll have my full backing, but as others have said, with the squad we potentially have available, promotion really is an expectation. We'll see!

[Pad1951]

Welcome Scott Parker.Now let’s get behind him.
Onwards and upwards.Utc

[Hedontplayforyou]

We are signing a winger?

[Rowls]

Welcome to Burnley, Scott and all the best.

UTC

[Longsider]

I've got a funny feeling one of his first signings will be Maxwell Cornet.

I really hope not. We have moved on and his fitness and injuries have also progressed.

[ClaretTony]

Massive typo on the official announcement graphic. Not even amateur. "Announcement sponsonred by Football Manager." Now deleted.

Not as bad as the one when Sambo signed and the graphic read: UP TO CLARETS.

[ClaretTony]

He's already got a park named after him in the town!

I read this post and couldn’t quite work out what you meant with Parker Park.

Then it twigged - I even walked past today.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Cornet wouldn’t make any sense . High wage you’d suspect

[Pickles]

Not as bad as the one when Sambo signed and the graphic read: UP TO CLARETS.

Dreadful, isn't it? Just so poor. We all make typos but these things should be checked over and over.

[bfcjg]

I enjoyed the interview, I like his core values ethos,very Dyche like.

[Shaggy]

Good luck, I don’t for one minute believe he was our first choice though

[Anonymous Claret]

Welcome aboard Scott. UTC

Welcome to Burnley, Scott

Think you’ll find he was a ball juggling kid in his back garden, doing an advert for McDonalds.

I stand corrected! Thanks.

[South West Claret.]

Not my first choice but he has a good record at Championship level so good luck to him in his efforts at Burnley.

[123EasyasBFC]

One could be signing very soon

It’s not the lad from Caen is it, I thought he was a 6ft 4 striker not a winger.

Is jadon Antony back at Bournemouth or did he move to Leeds perm, I remember him playing well under Parker at Bournemouth

[Steddyman]

Has that been confirmed? Are they staying? Would be great if they are.

[Cooclaret]

Good luck, I don’t for one minute believe he was our first choice though

Or second.

[Vegas Claret]

Has that been confirmed? Are they staying? Would be great if they are.

it would have been very odd to include the questioning in the interview if he wasn't - it's just my assumption from that of course

[Tresor'sTracksuit]

Beam us up Scotty.

[Steddyman]

Sounds like it is time to stop watching the news on TV and watch the interview then.

[ecc]

We've finally got a manager and can start shifting the furniture.

Mr Parker has my full support.

[123EasyasBFC]

Any news on any back room staff?

[Steddyman]

Any news on any back room staff?

Just watched the interview. Sounds like we are definitely keeping Bellamy, so that is really good news.

[Vegas Claret]

Sounds like it is time to stop watching the news on TV and watch the interview then.

it's worth a watch, he seems pretty straight talking, not too many cliche's which is a change from the norm and not much bulls%it.

[123EasyasBFC]

Just watched the interview. Sounds like we are definitely keeping Bellamy, so that is really good news.

Yeah I watched to, you’d imagine along with Jensen there will be Bellamy and Jackson but you’d expect a couple of coaches and data staff to come with him to

[COBBLE]

Congratulations Scott and best wishes. You have joined something special.

[NewClaret]

I’ve said it previously. He wouldn’t have been my first choice but then I haven’t had the opportunity to meet and interview him to make those judgements. But he’s got my full support.

Who would you have fancied Tony?

I’m just going to stay silent on this until I know if Bellamy & Jackson are staying.

[The Shire Claret]

Always liked Scott Parker

Wish him the very best and he should be given time.

UTC !

[burnmark]

Not sure if it’s been posted elsewhere before but here is a video of him in action……

[It Is What It Is]

Welcome to Turf Moor Scott.
You know the demands and I wish you well.

Priority no.1.
Getting 6 points off them lot down the road.
Priority no.2.
Winning Championship title with 102 points!

[yosserhughes]

Would not have been my choice, but will support him and the team.

[TPClaret]

All these people saying he’s not their choice. Who did they think we were really going to get?
.

[JohnMcGreal]

It would have been nice to get him in the building a few weeks sooner if this is who they wanted all along.

Still, he's here now and I wish him all the best.

[bumba]

Did anybody else pick up on the question regarding when he got the call?
His answer was that he was away on a family holiday and got a flight back for his 'first' interview.
Was this the flight he got pictured queueing for this week?
Seems odd if the club took so long to interview him then decided instantly.

[mikeS]

We've got someone with a track record of getting clubs promoted. Can't wait to see his first match in charge.
Welcome to Burnley Scott.
