The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Will Still Southampton manager

Guest HTT II

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. A text the other day “as bad as some of the shit we played under cabbage face”

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”

Any link to the comments he made?


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."

I know he's not been good but that's a wild stat. Didn't think it was that bad. 

 

I thought Gerrard looked much better than Lampard when they both first started in the PL. Still probably is, but it's a low bar.

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.
