Seems to me Parker wanted a fighting chance to stay up, Bournemouth aren't prepared to spend more. Seems fair enough on both sides.

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.

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

9-0 and then shifting the blame to the owners was never going to go down well.

 

If you drill even poor to mediocre players how to defend as a unit, even the likes of Liverpool and City on top form will have to work hard to break that down, as Rafa showed here. He did that with Lascelles in the side.

Based on those fixtures, you can't sack on results, but you absolutely can see a sacking happen for those comments. Even without the context of fighting for more transfers it came off incredibly negative at this stage of the season.

I suppose this depends on how much of a false economy we're talking here. If Bournemouth are way off, they'll have to accept the inevitable. However if its just, I dunno, say 20-25M of players to be competitive, the cost of relegation is far greater than that. The best players they have will all leave when they are relegated and the team will have to build again.

 

Being in the Premier League is worth a fortune to the club. By contrast, I know some club admins see getting into the Europa League as a burden, but a large part of that is because it only makes tiny amounts of money, on top of the Thurs-Sunday pressure on their squad. Getting into and then staying in the Premier League is definitely worth it.

Sounds like he wanted the sack. If he didn’t, all he had to do was play Bruce Bullshit Bingo with his quotes and he’d get a long career of one after the other compensation payments from the various clubs that love that shit.

Yep, I don't think any manager with a bit of pride can accept a season being the whipping boys of the league and be the public face of a policy they don't agree with.

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. 

 

Apart from their last manager leaving when he didn't get backed (though there's an argument he did)

This got me thinking... TV revenue clubs get stays roughly the same for a couple of years (around 100m if memory serves), but transfer fee inflation has been incredible this summer. 100m really doesn't get you all that much anymore, especially taking player wages into account. I can see it becoming more and more difficult for promoted clubs to stay up, and more appealing for them to take the cash of being in the PL for a single year + parachute payments and use it to build solid foundations for the future, i.e. stadium expansions, training ground development, youth prospects, etc.

Bournemouth will probably go down either way, so I guess they may as well make a change to someone who's not so frustrated or where there's not so much conflict with their strategy.

 

I can only think of one man then.....
