[Football] Scott Parker sacked

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Gone

 

[Bod]

Harsh

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

When is the right time to refer to him as Scotty and when is he Scott? On the way in and on the way out I suspect.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Potter obviously on his way there then

 

[West Upper Seagull]

Unbelievably harsh, their last 3 games have been against Man City, Arsenal & Liverpool for gods sake !
Always felt he’s one of the games good guys

 

[Billy in Bristol]

Maybe more what was said post match. He did call out the owners a bit...as did Klopp which didn't help.

 

[studio150]

Crazy. virtually everyone's favourites to go down given the lack of squad quality and now the board expect a new manager to turn things around. Unless there are better players coming in over the next couple of days, the results will stay the same and they will drop.

 

[Justice]

Ridiculous no money to spend his main striker injured. Did the owners think they should of got something at Liverpool

 

[Bold Seagull]

Losing to Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool is hardly unexpected for a promoted team, however the manner of the defeats, 16 goals conceded 0 scored is alarming. His interview after the Liverpool game may as well have been a letter of resignation - I thought at the time he sounded a man already defeated.

 

[Javeaseagull]

It was that cardigan, wasn't it?

 

[SweatyMexican]

They’re certs for going back down, but I don’t think they’ve invested as much as they should, and they played 3 of the top 6 in their first 4 (and won the other game), so it’s a tad harsh.

Primed now for Dyche that’s about all you can do with that side.

It was a very pointed interview but also correct. They are almost already down. Their squad makes Norwich's from last season appear title contenders.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Absolutely brutal!

I mean, I don't rate him but they've given no money to strengthen and then just 4 games. What is he supposed to do with a Championship squad and City, Liverpool and Arsenal in those first 4 games. The other game was against Villa which they won. That is incredibly harsh.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

I know they had just had a 9-0 hammering but Parker looked shattered and was almost speechless in his interview after the game. No surprise the owners bottled it. I think he is out of his depth in the PL but will be OK at a lower level. Not sure if Tommy Elphick as a coach will turn things round, even if he did play for us.

 

[elwheelio]

Thierry Henry is favourite to replace him. Odd one.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

If only they had a "To avoid Scotty Bashing - The Staying Up Tracker" they would know that they are smack on track with three points. Bonkers.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Woy anybody?

 

[Mancgull]

I expect he isn’t that disappointed.sacked and will get his contract paid up.
Who is going to take that job now?! What will the players think.
Look certainties for relegation.

Yeah, I was thinking that when I heard him interviewed. The general form when you've been utterly thrashed and can't, in all conscience, blame the pitch, officials, tea-lady etc is you take it on the chin. You hold your hands up, say stuff like it was a bad day at the office, congratulate the opposition for their excellence and admit it was their day. Parker didn't seem to go down that route.

EDIT: He did seem totally shell-shocked as others have said.
