Parker

[Irish Ian]

Jumps ship and moves from Fulham to replace Woodgate at Bournemouth.

I hear the deal was clinched when he heard there was a nice wee gents out fitters on the south coast.

Do they sell nice tie pins

However, Parker is judged harshly on here by most (IMO).

Well that’s two of us then Swannie

Should have stayed working for Lady Penelope

I quite like him too Swannie, perhaps not for all the same reasons…

He always seemed genuinely aggrieved when Fulham got beaten and wore his heart on his sleeve a bit, which I liked. Refreshing alternative to the Big Sams of this world.

Now then

I wish him well at Bournemouth (although I do like Woody)

I just don't see him having any better a time at Bournemouth than he did at Fulham, at very best it's a sideways move.

I am curious to see if he'll go back to the needlessly elaborate possession based game that only just scraped him promotion with the best on-paper squad in the Championship, or if he'll play the more scrappy and pragmatic game that almost got them out of the relegation zone last season.

I dont mind him, gained a lot of respect for him after their play-off win. Thought he spoke very openly and honestly. Never one to blame his players like Lampard.

I just don't think he's a very good manager.
