I have a sort of grudging admiration for Scott Parker, though I'm not really sure why. I have to admit I like his 'best dressed manager' look - for a while he had this 'James Bond' thing going on, and looked really good. But looking cool doesn't win you games. Manager wise, he can obviously cut it at Championship level, and given some money could have done a job in the Premier, so sacking him now seems a bit premature.
Who would have him here at Cardiff, if Morison were to depart?
Fecking Bournemouth, Premier league for a few seasons , relegated , straight back up
Bournemouth
Fecking Bournemouth
Brentford
The Jacks
Why is this club we support so utterly shit ?
Best dressed! Haha! Thom Browne was cool about 8 years ago, those weird padded blazers he wears too! Lunatic.
Best dressed coat hanger more like. The man with footballs biggest head to shoulder width ratio. Its a wonder they could find a suit to fit him. For a bloke who was portrayed as a silky smooth footballer, he doesn't half get the teams he manages to foul, kick, dive and moan a lot. No to the ‘would we have him here’ question by the way
How many more points would you have expected Bournemouth to get given the fixtures they've had?
Do you recall how long it took to get a win in our last PL season? Some promoted teams start brightly, some don't. We didn't, last time out, but came close to staying up. Brentford had a better second half to the season last season. I recall Swansea doing something similar when they won promotion.
I have no idea if he's a good PL manager. I do know that he's achieved promotion to the PL in both of his two seasons in the Championship. Despite Fulham getting relegated, Bournemouth were quick to snap up his services, joining them the same day he left Craven Cottage. Obviously Bournemouth regarded him that highly.
Bournemouth's defeats have all been expected. I'm with others in this thread and presume someone else has already been lined up, otherwise the timing of this sacking is very bizarre.
I'd expect Parker to end up with another biggish Championship or lower PL club based on nothing more than his record. If I've read what you've said about him correctly, you seem to think he's an awful manager who should never be given another job.
I agree that someone will take a gamble on him but you forget that he has also got Fulham relegated TWICE. He was first team coach there when Jokanovic and Ranieri were managers and took over as manager for the last few games when Ranieri was sacked. He then did get them up the following season but took them straight back down again. In his four and a bit years in management therefore, he has presided over and influenced two promotions and two relegations. His teams also have a reputation for moaning, diving and cheating to get results. Hardly a glowing endorsement of his ability as a manager is it ?
I'd have expected them to pick up a few points and capitulate with Parker, and thats exactly what they did, and then they sacked him as his after match comments were basically, phsycologically they're finished, me too, i'm shell shocked and haven't got a clue of where to go from here, I knew immidiately it would be the dole queue, and I think he'll be there for quite a while.
Would I want him here, not a chance, but I think he could do a brilliant job wth no money at Swansea when Martin is sacked and take them straight down this season.
