Tiresias Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Sounds more like he's pissed them off behind the scenes than results wise. The club ultimately seem to have decided that they'd rather go down and collect parachute payments (and you know maybe use them to build a squad that may stay up next time) than risk a big investment now. I'd be disappointed by the lack of ambition by owners who it seems clearly thought they'd got promoted sooner than hoped for, but nor is it necessarily outrageous if the finances are as the owner says.

McCormick Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Seems harsh if it was performance-based, but he was very publicly squaring up to the board for the lack of transfers. Understandable from both sides tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so £100m or so would go a long way to paying for that. If Luton has came up through the playoffs last season, they would have just used the money towards their new stadium.

Guest HTT II Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 If you go on Villa Talk, they hate him, as I’ve said some of my family support them and they too can’t stand him and want him out ASAP.

Rich Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Parker looked and sounded like a beaten man on MOTD, no surprise at all. Clearly hasn't been backed the way he hoped he would be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Daily Mail: “Stevie G is ideal for any club in the premier league because he’s English, he’s white and he’s a hero. Really he shouldn’t be stopping to the levels of Newcastle or Villa and should be first in line for the job at liverpool” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found em, courtesy of BBC : Parker's post-match interview of the 9-0 loss away to Liverpool : Quote "It doesn’t surprise me. This is currently where it is at this moment in time. The players need help. Today proved too big a challenge. The levels were far too big. "At times we couldn’t bear it, the intensity. We’ve got a decision to make as a club. There will be days like this. Time will tell. It's a huge disappointment, a real humbling experience. "I’m gutted for the players. It’s my job and it will be the defining of us as a group of how we bounce back from this. "We have some days where hopefully we can get some help in and support and help the current team who came up from the Championship. "There’s loads of work to be done. The experience today, you never want to be on the end of this. This is currently where are are. If this is the group we’re going with we’ll react and see where are."

Optimistic Nut Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Seems to me Parker wanted a fighting chance to stay up, Bournemouth aren't prepared to spend more. Seems fair enough on both sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comegetasample Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 He'd actually be a great appointment for them down the road. I doubt they'd pay him enough to cover the cost of those 900 quid cardigans mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 What I'd say is though, he made a pig's ear at Fulham last time he was in this league. Had an asset up front like Mitrovic and played a system completely unsuited to their star player which he probably needed to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 No if I had to choose I’d take Lampard all day as a manager. I think Gerrard might be the only poor manager left in the league now. I’d say Lampard is mediocre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack j Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Could never stand parker up here tbh. Odd crunching tackle to make it look like he was the midfield general In reality he used to do what mctominay does on that video someone posted the other day and get himself marked as much as possible When he did get the ball he'd do a 360 and back to a defender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
