Bournemouth

Bournemouth have sacked head coach Scott Parker following Saturday's 9-0 Premier League defeat at Liverpool.

"We must also show belief in and respect for one another. "Today proved too big a challenge. The club's co-owner Maxim Demin said: "I would like to place on record my gratitude to Scott and his team for their efforts during their time with us.

Bournemouth have sacked head coach Scott Parker just four games into the new season as owner Maxim Demin called for “respect for one another” at the club.

I feel sorry for the players because we are ill-equipped at this level. “I feel sorry for the fans. We have been trying to get more quality in and there are a million reasons why (they have not).

The club’s statement refers not to the record defeat but of “showing belief in and respect for one another” and the desire to run the club sustainably. Tell the club that they don’t know what they’re doing and you better hope that you have enough goodwill in the bank. At the end of July, six days before the new season started, Parker told the local newspaper: “It’s clear that we are lacking in a lot of areas at this present moment in time. That interview was not a call-to-arms, as is typical. Parker insisted that the club could not be competitive with the current squad. Not only did he ignore the easy-to-reach epithets, he chose to use that interview to attack the club’s transfer policy. But that is only part of the story here. It is the earliest sacking of a promoted manager in the history of English top-flight football. Instead, Parker is the victim of his own honesty and misguided attempts to engineer transfer activity. That leaves so little wiggle room that you struggle to take in a breath. This is a game of averages and they are weighted against you. Bournemouth have lost three of their four league matches this season against last year’s top two and the only team in England with a perfect league record; they won the other.

LIVERPOOL's 9-0 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday was Scott Parker's final game as Bournemouth boss.

"And probably not surprised so much, in the sense of the levels we're playing against here and the quality is just far greater than what we have in this present moment in time at our disposal. He said: "It goes without saying it's a real humbling experience and one which was pretty shell-shocking, really, in the sense of the result. Bournemouth co-owner Maxim Demin said in a statement: “I would like to place on record my gratitude to Scott and his team for their efforts during their time with us. And Liverpool boss Klopp has hit out at Bournemouth's hierarchy, claiming that Parker's sacking is evidence that you need the 'right' people in charge of a football club. Parker was dismissed by Bournemouth on Tuesday morning, with a brief statement appearing to suggest that there was a divide between his aims and the club's board. The Reds' 9-0 thumping of the Cherries on Saturday proved to be Parker's final match in charge.

Jurgen Klopp has expressed his sympathy for Scott Parker after he came the first Premier League managerial casualty of the season.

There are the right players out there for Bournemouth. ‘I cannot say if they need strengthening or not it just looked like they didn’t do a lot of business. I’m 100% sure Scott Parker would have had the right idea who the righr players are. That is the approach that has brought this club so much success in recent history, and one that we will not veer from now. He added: ‘Signing players never makes sense if they are not the right ones. You have other clubs with other structures like us and maybe Arsenal or whoever.

Bournemouth sacked Scott Parker just four games into the new Premier League season and on the back of a record-equalling 9-0 thrashing at Liverpool.

His lack of experience would be a risk but his record as a player in the division certainly speaks for itself. He left for MLS outfit DC United over the summer so an immediate return to England is unlikely but he must sure harbour ambitions of one day managing in a league where he scored 208 goals. He took Sheffield United into the Premier League in 2019 and led them to ninth in their first season back – although relegation followed a year later Wilder certainly made his mark.

Jurgen Klopp has come out in defence of fellow Premier League manager Scott Parker, labelling his sacking as "unbelievable" and "harsh.

That is difficult if you come up from the Championship and arrive in the Premier League. "You saw three teams coming up, Fulham, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth," Klopp continued. There are different systems in the Premier League in how clubs are led.

Scott Parker was sacked today by Bournemouth after their 9-0 humiliation by Liverpool on Saturday and Jurgen Klopp has backed the former Chelsea star.

The manager was always going to be under threat after saying the club is 'ill-equipped' for the Premier League.

Parker may have deserved more loyalty, may have been sacked despite succeeding at the job in front of him. In a way this is a sacking that goes to the heart of what head coaches are now at clubs of this scale, where the entire project is about buoyancy, overperformance, finding an equation that will defy scale and keep this entity in the world’s most lucrative league for however many years as it enters a new £10bn TV rights cycle. Parker got the club back up at the first time of asking, a feat that is literally money in the pocket for the club’s owner, Maxim Demin. Eight of the team that started the promotion season a year ago also played in the 9-0 at Anfield. The fact is sacking your manager has worked quite well in recent times. The success of clubs such as Brighton and Brentford may be based on more coherent long-term strategies. Bournemouth just looked like what they are: a team with too many players still dazed by the step up, unable to win the vital moments. Parker was appointed in June 2021 and took them up with basically the same squad. The initial reaction will, of course, be sympathy. The good news for Scott Parker is that Bournemouth’s owners agree with him. More worrying still, seven of those above him on the list and the three immediately below ( No other promoted team have acted so quickly – and it is not hard to see why, mainly because this is such an utterly ruthless act, a junking of any basic notion of loyalty and employer relations.

Shay Given has said that his ex-teammate Scott Parker may be "too honest," after the former England midfielder was sacked by Bournemouth.
