He understand the owner's side of story because he lived through it in the past. No Premier League owners or board of directors are so incompetent enough not to communicate with the managers with regards to budget. Parker definitely knew about it and realised his players and his abilities are limited, so he took a gamble by publicly addressing the lack of funds to push the board or get the sack. In the end he got the latter and that takes some b*lls to do that for both Parker and the board.

That is not what honesty is about. Like Simon says,they have had that conversation in the boardroom already and Scott must have agreed with the Club's position seeing how he did not hand in his resignation. That he will come out to the media and says the opposite is NOT INTEGRITY. That is exactly the definition of "being two face" or "backbiting " . Also like Simon says,when these football managers keep going on and on about wanting more money, do they know what the finances of the club is? Is it some money they have left to the owners to keep? Managers are starting to think that they own clubs but they don't - they are just mere employees.

[@TheR9Gaming]

@@kcetebe8012 First off, that is all mere speculation that they had that “conversation”. Ideally, clubs typically do have that conversation but do we know THEY did? Secondly, the coach is very much in the right to speak out especially when coaches nowadays are easily replaced after a bad start to a season. The culture of running a club has changed: to receiving immediate results and making immediate profit. That’s why coaches push for help so they could deliver in that fashion.

Well Jordan, as an ex-failed club owner yes I am sure you would want your manager to just resign so you dont have to pay him off and sack him. Lets face it, Bournemouth have not spent enough, not strengthened enough. The players are going to get a hiding each week, I am not surprised Scott has come out and been vocal - he is responsible for the players and staff and the board are not only not backing him but they are not backing the staff and players either. No one has mentioned what the players have probably been saying to Parker about the lack of investment.

[@onlyapawn4371]

Wow I didnt know he used to own a football club so I googled him and discovered that he did and yesterday he has just bought another football club XD

[@thelimey351]

Scott Parker was right, Simon Jordan is talking BS. Bournemouth were hoping to use Scott Parker to try & "achieve" 17th & if he failed use him as a scapegoat. Scott Parker coming out & saying his team were "ill-equipped" from day one scuppered that idea & put the blame firmly where it belongs so the owners got angry that their plan wasn't going to work & fired him. This way Scott Parker gets paid off his full salary & his reputation doesn't get wrecked - well played Sir. 👏👏

You don’t know the financial situation at Bournemouth and Forest any more than I do. And as a Leeds fan I absolutely want my club to be run responsibly financially - I know what it feels like when my club implodes and tumbles down the leagues, to fester for 16 years, because of financial mismanagement. Simon Jordan is right here - the board will have told Scott Parker exactly what the financial situation was before this summer. He could see that the team wasn’t good enough and has agitated to get himself sacked so he doesn’t have another relegation on his CV. But you can be sure that other owners will be wary of hiring Scott Parker after this. Publicly going against your own board does not sit well, and he did it at Fulham as well.

[@gyata7270]

Simon right, if Scott Parker had a sit down with the Owner and he was straight Parker then he goes and does that, it's a loyalty not footballing decision why he got sacked.

[@Glenlee92]

i thought the point is quite clear. parker getting sacked isn't about how much they've spent or how many games they've lost. it's about parker going in front of the mic several times already in open dissent against the owners instead of keeping his comments and suggestions in-house. if he feels the ambition of the club is suspect then the professional thing to do is to resign. if he blabs in front of the media in open opposition to the club then i don't think anyone can blame the sacking.

Simon is right, but he’s possibly failed to recognise that Parker probably did this deliberately. Pressure the owners publicly to give him the funds or alternatively they are forced to sack him and therefore pay out his contract. Scott now walks away as some kind of hero in the eyes of the supporters. Had he done the more honourable thing - as Simon suggested, and resigned after having a conversation about funds he’d have walked away with nothing financially. How many people are actually prepared to do that?

@mrshankly213 I disagree. I think the board are being incredibly responsible. Bournemouth are not a big team.

It makes no sense then spending £80 million, risk getting relegated anyway and bankrupting the club like derby.

Bournemouth are an incredibly small club compared to others in the premier league...they can’t compete long term with teams that have the revenue waaay above them.

I'm with Jordan on most of this. Most fans do not understand that football clubs are a business. Clubs like Bournemouth are at a disadvantage when competing at this level. Parker should have zipped it. Having said that I as the business owner would have pulled Parker up for these comments, but not sacked him. The point is a club (or any business for that matter) needs cohesion, loyalty and all to be fighting the same corner.

Simon Jordan is talking absolute sense. However, he talks absolute sense with quite a lot of baggage attached, I assume. In human interactions it's never that black and white. Scott Parker should have been admonished, disciplined and told to improve his attitude way before he was so openly humiliated and sacked. That, Simon, would have been the more human approach to man management. I really like the way Simon thinks and expresses himself, but he needs to be a bit more in touch with the softer side of life.

How many managers have had the loyalty card played to them by owner's only to find that behind their backs the owners have been looking at replacements. Remember the oft used headline that 'The managers job is safe'. If you're going to make use of the loyalty argument then balance the argument with the fact that the street is a 2 way one. Again the used car salesman sticking up for all owners as if bad owners don't exist. Parker clearly had bigger ambition than the Bournemouth club owners. But Jordan skates round that and for the sake of defending owners. I hope Scott get's another appointment and with a club with matching ambition. Let's remember Parker is a relatively new manager too. It looks at the moment that all along the Bournemouth owners had both eye's firmly fixed on parachute payment's rather than making a fist for the club and it's fans in the Prem. Personally I can't help but think that's a bit of a cheat to any side If so. Maybe Scott Parker has indeed been the bigger figure in possibly forcing his own sacking and exposing glory hunting, money hungry owners. 4 games in after playing 3 top sides as well, what did the owners expect 4 wins out of 4 from a side straight out of finishing second in the Championship. Fulham, Bournemouth, Fulham Bournemouth only 2 points difference, just as they finished the Championship last season. Fulham have made 10 signings (some pretty good ones) this summer, Bournemouth 2 free transfers and a returning loanee. I don't see ambition from the owners there sorry. you need to get your facts sorted Jordan. For me it's something to do with those owners, I think they've let the side down.

It’s hard to disagree with Simon here. Whether or not there was a conversation behind closed doors regarding strengthening the squad, Parker still needs to be respectful of the owners who pay his Premier League manager wage. If you’re unhappy with how they intend to run the business (and football IS first and foremost a business) and a conversation has already been had not yielding the result you desire, you tender your resignation. Parker was honest about the situation, but disrespectful towards ownership.

[@davidr1138]

I don't see Parker remaining loyal to his beliefs and his subsequent comments being disrespectful... sure he is repeatedly announcing that the owners have got it wrong and this is what irks the owners so much; but they have got it wrong. And football is not first and foremost a business. Clubs were founded by local workers and they represent the local community in many ways; the business element is in place to provide entertainment, something which Bournemouth's owners are failing at.

[@jeffisontheair]

@@davidr1138 Whether they have it wrong or not isn’t the issue. If either of us disrespected our bosses in national media we’d both be sacked too, and deservedly so. If you’re unhappy then tender your resignation. And to say that in 2022 football isn’t a business is completely absurd. When an owner invests millions of pounds, part of that being your salary, decisions need to be respected. It’s really easy for Parker, you or anyone else to spend someone else’s money when it’s not you running the risk of failure. You won’t have to live with the consequences of that, but those who made those investments will. And that’s why socialism is a failure.
