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).
Chelsea will look to stay within reach of the pack of the clubs currently leading the Premier League when the Blues travel to St. Mary's to take on ...
That leaves the Chelsea midfield again in flux, as Tuchel looks to find a partner for Jorginho in the middle. He's dispossessed at first, but the ball sticks in the ground, and Sterling recovers to hit the loose ball home. It's an incredible accomplishment to stay with a top club that long, and the Spaniard earns yet another milestone appearances with today's spot-start in place of Reece James. The England international chooses to go by himself, and his hesitation sees Bella-Kotchap produce a stunning tackle to keep Sterling from even having a hit. The Southampton defense is carved to pieces by Mount and Havertz, with the former finding Sterling at the top edge of the six-yard box. Sterling wins a foul and makes his way gingerly to his feet, but there's no further punishment for the Saints captain. Azpilicueta puts a dangerous change out for a corner, and Saints take advantage of the set-piece. On the first, he nips the ball off Azpilicueta but fails to take the split-second shot, and his pull-back for arriving reinforcements is blocked. Armstrong is left all along in the center of the 18-yard box, and his finish is a simple one as he collects the cross from Perraud and deposits it moments before halftime. He's positioned on the line next to Mendy, and he stops a free header to Salisu. 56th min: Chelsea want a penalty as Perraud brings down Sterling in the penalty area, but Michael Oliver waves play on. Ziyech is fouled by Djepo on the touchline to give the Blues a free-kick.
Scott Parker has departed Bournemouth after just four league games in 2022-23, but which managers have lost their jobs the earliest in a Premier League ...
Fellow 0-9 enthusiasts Southampton, for instance, have allowed opponents 5.2 xG but have only let in eight goals. Other early departures worth flagging include Alan Curbishley’s at West Ham United, 18 days into the 2008-09 season. One difference between the managers described here and Scott Parker is that they were all in charge of clubs who had been in the Premier League the previous season. By the end of 1995-96 City had been relegated and many traced the club’s decline back to the decision to dismiss Reid so early into 1993-94. The shortest season a permanent Premier League manager has experienced remains Paul Sturrock’s incredibly brief 2004-05 at Southampton. Either way, Parker’s departure is one of the earliest in Premier League history, but which unfortunate managers have been sacked even earlier into the season?

Leeds United's Luis Sinisterra cancelled out Anthony Gordon's first-half opener for Everton as the two sides drew 1-1 in a pulsating Premier League clash at ...
The home side poured on the pressure straight after the break and got the goal they deserved when Sinisterra rifled home a bouncing shot in the 55th minute after a number of near-misses. The 31-year-old left the field 10 minutes later having suffered a shoulder injury in a tangle with Everton keeper Jordan Pickford, and though Leeds continued to enjoy plenty of possession for the remainder of the half they struggled to break down a stubborn Everton defence. Strongly linked with a switch to Chelsea, Gordon started and finished the move that led to the opening goal in the 17th minute, cutting in from the left before collecting Alex Iwobi's pass and slotting the ball through the legs of Illan Meslier.
Leeds rescue draw at home to Everton; Mitrovic scores again in Fulham win.
It also brings to an end Brighton’s nine-match unbeaten run, their longest in the Premier League. It was the striker’s 100th goal for the Cottagers in all competitions. But Brentford hung in and Wissa was unmarked in the penalty area to salvage a point - his effort standing after a Var check for offside went in favour of the visitors. “Obviously it wasn’t the start that we wanted. After a first half short on chances, Mitrovic broke the deadlock in the 48th minute when Neeskens Kebano swept the ball across the goalmouth for the powerful Serb to fire in at the far post. Leeds striker Rodrigo Moreno missed a golden opportunity to put his side level in the 22nd minute as Jack Harrison flashed the ball across the box, but the Spaniard failed to connect with the goal at his mercy.
LUIS SINISTERRA STRUCK a second-half equaliser on his full Premier League debut as Leeds and Everton played out a thrilling 1-1 draw at Elland Road.
Gordon and Kristensen leant in with their foreheads and the subsequent melee was mirrored on the touchline after words had been exchanged between rival coaching staff. Rodrigo, and Leeds, were then dealt a blow in the 30th minute when the Spaniard was withdrawn after appearing to injure his shoulder in a challenge with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. A point apiece kept Leeds in fifth place and was enough to lift Everton out of the bottom three, although Frank Lampard’s side remain winless after their first five Premier League matches.
Everton's worst start to a Premier League season for 12 years continued as they drew 1-1 with Leeds at Elland Road. Luis Siristerra scored after the break ...
Everton have barely broken forward yet, but Alex Iwobi plays an inch perfect pass to Anthony Gordon, who brilliantly slots into the back of the net from insdie the area. The first of them fell to new signing Amadou Onana, who saw a point-blank-range effort from a corner deflect the safety off Diego Llorente, before Nathan Patterson burst into the box and should have finished, only to shoot too close to Illan Meslier. But they equally struggled to close down the former England U21 international outside the box as he darted forward at every opportunity. Despite the lack of chances, that did come somewhat against the run of play as United were dominating in terms of possession and territory, but struggled to break down a stubborn defence who kept the strikers at bay. United were a different beast after the break though, with Brendan Aaronson and Jack Harrison having shots saved. Everton’s worst start to a Premier League season for 12 years continued as they drew 1-1 with Leeds at Elland Road.

Leicester are having a nightmare start. It seems to be working. Wins have been hard to come by, however, with only one so far. Newcastle will back themselves to put up a fight at Anfield. The sorry Cherries simply caught the wrath of Liverpool frustrations. Although not as prolific as Manchester City or Arsenal, Spurs have made a good start without really hitting their best level. They will hope it is the catalyst for better things. That was a second straight defeat and wasn't great preparation for this.

Bournemouth have sacked manager Scott Parker just four matches into the Premier League season, with Gary O'Neil set to be interim replacement.
"We must also show belief in and respect for one another. Cherries owner Maxim Demin added: “I would like to place on record my gratitude to Scott and his team for their efforts during their time with us. “I feel sorry for the fans, I feel sorry for the players because we are just a bit under-equipped at this level from where we've come from and what we have. “I am not surprised in terms of the level we are playing against here and the quality is just far greater than what we have at this present time. “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. That is the approach that has brought this club so much success in recent history, and one that we will not veer from now.

Scott Parker has been dismissed as Bournemouth head coach; wording of the short club statement announcing his departure alludes to Parkers beliefs being ...
"Jonathan Woodgate took the club to the play-offs in the Championship and had a really good spell. "There has to be aligned thinking with regards to the manager and the football club. "The alignment between the manager and the club, the sustainability of the club and being profitable and doing things in the right way is important. But the next six games with 18 points up for grabs, it could well be a defining period in their season." "They're still really tough fixtures as that is what you get in the Premier League. His lack of experience would be a risk but his record as a player in the division certainly speaks for itself. Parker did a fantastic job in getting them out of the division, and we know how hard it is to get out of the Championship. There is perhaps a group of players in that dressing room who have looked at the manager's comments after games and thought, 'wow, that feels a bit harsh'. "I don't really see Sean Dyche's philosophy being one the club would like, Chris Wilder is a really exciting manager and we saw what he did with Middlesbrough after leaving Sheffield United. He's always backed the manager in the transfer window and they've always tried to recruit young, promising, exciting players. "When they last went down, they sold £80m worth of players, they invested into the squad and came back up again. "That's been reflected in the statement released by the football club.

Robson and Newcastle had a poor start to the 2004/05 season and he was sacked. Just 9 days after the start of the 2004/05 season, rumours of unrest with the board began to circulate and Sturrock was sacked. After a 4-0 home defeat to rivals Manchester United and just five games into the 1996/97 season, Wilkinson was sacked. After Ruud Gullit was sacked as manager of Chelsea in February 1999, he was replaced by Gianluca Vialli who initally took the role as player/manager. The following season saw them fall down to a 13th place finish, but he did lead them to an FA Cup final and a memorable win over Barcelona. After Ruud Gullit's resignation in 1999, Bobby Robson was appointed the new manager of Newcastle United. The following year he won the Uefa Super Cup and led Chelsea to a third place finish in the league. After possibly the toughest set of fixtures that any newly promoted side could face in his opening four games, Scott Parker was sacked by Bournemouth. Sadly for the Spaniard, he was sacked less than a month into the 2019/20 season as the club were sitting bottom of the table with just one point. Gracia was appointed manager of the Hornets in January 2019 and guided the club to safety after Marco Silva's sacking. De Boer signed a three-year-deal as manager of Crystal Palace in June 2017, but it's safe to say things didn't work out for the former Inter Milan boss. After a 9-0 trashing against Liverpool and Parker publically criticising the board's transfer philosophy, he was sacked.

We must also show belief in and respect for one another. Our search for a new head coach will begin immediately.' He becomes the first Premier League boss to be sacked in the first month of the season since Newcastle got rid of Sir Bobby Robson and Robson had just guided Newcastle to a fifth-place finish in the Premier League and the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, but a poor opening to the 2004-05 campaign saw owner Freddy Shepherd sack him amid rumours of dressing room discontent.

Ziyech also getting his first start of the season. (And were it not for blocks by Cucurella and Silva on the line, the scoreline could’ve been far worse as well.) Presentable chances for Raheem Sterling and Hakim Ziyech soon followed, with Chelsea of course wasting them.
With money still tight in the EFL following the pandemic, the top-flight loan market is a key way for clubs to add quality to their squad.
Gibbs-White was recently [sold to Nottingham Forest in a deal that could rise to £42.5 million](https://theathletic.com/3521911/2022/08/20/morgan-gibbs-white-nottingham-forest/) largely on the back of his deeds in a United shirt last season.

A little more than 20 years ago, Lincoln almost pulled off what would surely have been the loan coup to end all loan coups. “Our loan options during that time are probably what kept us in League One,” adds the 58-year-old, who returned to the League Two club in May. And now you’ve done me a favour, you won’t have to pay a loan fee for the next two loans from Manchester United’. And is it a case of who you know, not what you know, when it comes to landing that in-demand target? “You only have to look at Morgan (Gibbs-White) last season to see that.”
