Unbelievable Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 1 hour ago, Stottie said: 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. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 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.

The Bonk Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 3 hours ago, 54 said: “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.” That is probably the most shade thrown at a sacking statement i've seen in a while. The comments at the weekend where proper wank mind. I don’t think they were wank, more to do wth Parker’s lack of emotional intelligence. At least, in his defence, he was being honest. Can’t believe they wouldn’t let him apologize or walk back some of the comments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 From the outside Parker has come across as a right selfish cunt. He's basically decided that Bournemouths failure, can't be his failure. He can't be seen as a manager that got relegated again and thrown his players under the bus. While he is right that this squad isn't good enough, he should have resigned in the summer when he knew he wasn't getting loads of dosh. It's interesting that he gets loads of support within the media and I must say I was duped into thinking he might be a good coach but then I remembered what he was like at Newcastle, the second it got tough he jumped ship. Perhaps this will be a master stroke from Parker, because his next job might actually be a PL job, he'd probably get an Everton job or whatever but you know the saying a cunt never changes his spots... or something like that. Bournemouth should look at what Leeds did. Find someone with energy from elsewhere, who could potentially bring them back up next season, should they go down.

gbandit Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 There’s a way to say it where you talk about strengthening the squad and then there’s a way of saying it where you completely undermine your players. The way Parker talked about it, it sounded like he was calling out his players as nowhere near good enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 It’s a much stronger league this season than it’s ever been, I do get that but as Bournemouth fans you don’t want your manager coming out with such defeatist comments game after game. They have a stronger squad than Eddie had and look what he achieved with a bit of positivity and bravery (caveat being the league wasn’t as strong back then). Understandable that Parker wanted more but when it became apparent that wasn’t forthcoming he should have publicly backed his squad to succeed. Reeks of salvaging his own reputation by getting his ready-made (albeit probably warranted) excuses in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly different in the “size” and potential of both of the clubs, surely? Bournemouth- without trying to be too condescending- are a well-run club punching above their weight. Rafa could see we had more in us but lacked the ambition and desire to do better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is context. Bournemouth are a club that are building to become a PL club, Newcastle were already a PL and had massive resources before MA arrived. It's the same when people talk about Man Uniteds owners and say "look but they have spent 200m". Lost is the context about where they are and where they have come from. Don't get me wrong, you do have to question why the likes of Bournemouth or Norwich think that you can come up from the championship and not have a slightly more ambitious plan yet still expect to survive. Brighton and Brentford are the benchmark for the smaller clubs coming up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
