Title: Parker has to be sacked tomorrow
Post by: PaulJ123 on May 10, 2021, 08:59:33 PM
Fed up of him being touted as doing well in the media.

Awful football, awful results. Get him out of the club.

Agreed. His team picks today doomed Fulham before a ball was kicked. Decordova-Reid & Cavaleiro seem to be his favourites but they are Fulham's WORST players, especially Reid whose ball control, shooting and passing is Vauxhall Conference level.

Fulham should sack Parker before the end of season and allow the new manager to see his team and build during the transfer window.

Parker is criticised for his team selection on one hand and the players aren't good enough on another. So what is it ? My view is that the squad isn't good enough. It's far too simplistic to throw all blame at the manager.

Parker should never have got the job in the first place. We got really lucky last year and were heavily reliant on players scoring wonder goals to win games. The football Parker wants to play just does not work. He's trying to play exactly how Lampard wanted Chelsea to play. We do not have the players to do that, nor did it work for Lampard.

I personally feel the recruitment on the whole for this year has been pretty good, I know some people disagree. HOWEVER what I will say is that the club (and Parker) have been extremely let down by basically every single player who got us promoted. None of them have offered enough this season, especially Mitrovic and Cairney. Mitrovic cost us almost £30m. You have to bank on a player that costs that (and has played in the league previously) to perform. He's given us absolutely nothing.

Once the loan players go back to their clubs, I would happily get rid of the entire squad (bar Rodak and Reed).

And of course Parker must go, after this game

Okay so which Burnley players would you have over the current Fulham players, in isolation of the form that we find ourselves in? They're a team of limited players who have played 4-4-2 as long as they've been Burnley players and they only play direct football because it's the only way they know. A better manager gets results from this team, the tactics and substitutions make no sense literally week after week and that sits with the manager

I agree the performance is poor but doesn't come as any surprise given the players available. I'm just surprised that so much criticism is aimed at a manager who doesn't have a  squad that is balanced, particularly creatively and offensively.

And therein lies the point. Two of those players are centre halves and the other is an average striker - they fit into a standard 4-4-2 hoof ball mentality which is well drilled by a better manager. 3/11 of which two are defensive and that's not even been our issue this season for large parts being preferred to our squad just speaks volumes about the coaching standard.

Burnley have 4 capable forwards in their squad. We have one. Not even remotely comparable. Parker's not been brilliant, too passive for me, but TK is the far bigger problem. Until he's no longer in charge of transfers we'll always struggle in the prem.

Well though I agree & you would like to think he would do the honourable thing I doubt he has the moral compass to honour that. I guess he will drag it out (nightmare scenario for us next season) or wait for the inevitable pay off. He is unlikely ever to be trusted to get a more serious job in the Premiership than FFC. Surely even Spuds can't be that stupid?
Unless Khan has a plan to replace him which kicks in to-night / tomorrow?

He has to go.

The second most important thing is we now have to try and sign premiership quality players willing to play in the championship. Just like what Newcastle were like when they went down. Stop with all these loans.
We need some form of a permanent premiership quality squad already there if we get promoted again

Anyway what sums it up for me is that could give useful minutes to anyone that's going to be here next season but no he's giving 15 mins to the wage thief RLC who couldn't give 2 sh*ts. Bin him off tonight and drop the loanees for the last 3 games, give Wigley 3 games to play the youngsters and core championship team for next year instead and at least give us some cause for optimism next season.

I find it a little funny that every time there is a Parker in or out thread posted, it's always majority Parker In. Then when we lose, everyone is all Parker Out.

I'm not sure if all the Parker Out fans are just more vocal about it or what.

I actually think we should keep Parker. Sure, this season wasn't great as we have now been relegated, but we were in almost every game once we got our defense sorted. It really was our lack of investment in a capable forward line that has screwed us this year. I'm all for Parker being given another go...look at Norwich! We need stability!

I think he is a decent guy and I have no reason or wish to question his integrity. There is no reason for him to resign he has a number of years left on his contract. I would like to see another manager as I dont like his style of football and despite having a decent but average set of players ever since the bonus of beating
Liverpool reserves he has failed to build on that and this team has gradually got worse since that game which is down to his coaching and leadership

The things is, we know what he's capable of in the Championship because we saw it last season.
He produced under whelming football but got lucky last time, even if he gets lucky again we will be no better off.

Burnley mix their game up. It's not always direct and they certainly aren't limited.  Players like Mee, Tarkoski, Pope and McNeil are decent and are all contracted to Burnley like most of their team. And there lies the issue. We are Loan United. We have a few very good players supported by others that are out of their depth in the Premier League. Unfortunately our best players are the loanees who will be moving on very soon. Until we recruit with an eye on the future rather than the short term (Cavaleiro, Reid, Knockhart) this rollercoaster will continue.

With a few exceptions (who you could all name) our players are generally technically good. But they are not quite pacey enough and definitely not big enough. They often get outmuscled and don't have the pace to get themselves out of trouble.

This will not be popular but I think the one thing that had impressed me thus season has been the class of Scott Parker.

We have not achieved what was required, which would have been difficult enough after such a short break between seasons.

The first few games were dreadful but we started to find our rhythm. There were some great performances but in the end our lack of fire power and our home performances were not good enough.

I hope Scott stays, learns, rebuilds from the core team and gives us a good run at automatic promotion next season.

I like his honesty and his commitment. He is still learning and I would rather Scott was our manager than anyone else. 

There is also a good core team to build upon - and he knows their strengths and weaknesses

Parker is criticised for his team selection on one hand and the players aren't good enough on another. So what is it ? My view is that the squad isn't good enough. It's far too simplistic to throw all blame at the manager.



He's refused to play mitro for most of our season, had a champions league worthy or at least Europe league defence. He made no improvements to our attacking play and has been setting the bar exceptionally low all season saying we should be aiming for just getting out of the relegation zone and just staying up. He's been acting calm as if it's a guarantee all season and constantly saying we've got the games to make it up, despite those games constantly going without results improving.

What Jamie carragher said at the beginning of the season wouldve been enough to motivate most professional players and bosses to prove the man wrong, especially over the course of the entire season. Its absolutely ridiculous to have gone through an entire season having the same problems and not addressing them.

I think khans the worst thing, perhaps joint first at this club with the worst manager I've seen in lawrie sanchez in my almost 30 years as a fan. But to absolve Parker who's been given a better set of tools than our previous promotion and who's got such a poor record at this level, has shown few signs of improvement and made us even look poor in the championship, he simply has to go now. His job is untenable.

Get benitez, Eddie howe there are still better and more experienced managers. We've messed so many of our stalwart championship players around we've got to work overtime to get our ship in order before our reputation dissolves into that of mockery.

Keep SP the problem isn't SP it was a collective failure. I think SP needs time to build his experience at FFC. I think his idea of playing good football is a good one but we need the players to play that way. If he had a decent striker we would of been ok this season. Mitrovic is a good striker but not great, needs 6 chances to score a goal.

My overall verdict is keep SP and see how we build a team around his leadership.

Agree totally with these sentiments, well said.

SP is not the finished article by any means, then again, neither is the squad, the DoF (and likely never will be) nor the new stand, but I feel 75% of these will come good for us as a club, and in not the too distant future.

I still believe we might have been better off spending a second season in the Fizzy league this season, letting SP build the team and gain automatic promotion, but that horse is long gone, so we start again in the second tier.

Scott Parker is good enough to get us promoted from the Championship.

I cannot be sure that The Khans 2nd Choice manager is good enough.

If Parker can get us promoted, then keep him until he does, then if he hasn't improved sack him.

I would hope that if and when he does get us promoted again, given the opportunity and however long it takes, then he will have gained that much more experience to maintain us in the prem.

Give him another season to learn his trade, we could do far worse

far worse than the manager who potential gave us the worst prem campaign we have had and possibly the worst football since lawrie sanchez ?

Im still baffled by those who want him to stay in. Two relegations in three seasons with this guy and an extremely lucky promotion in between, in which our football was pretty dire. He's clearly dejected, had no idea going forward, poor team selections compounded by useless in match decision-making all season long. What is it people are seeing in Parker at this point?

Get a new manager in with new ideas. Eddie Howe is available and a much better alternative for a start.

I hope Parker stays, and this is my opinion, what does he do with a team that is not fighting to win?  We will be happy togeth

What did Parker say earlier this season about being motivated by a fear of failure?  I'll bet you that most quality football managers would be motivated by achieving success rather than not failing.

This directly correlates to his preferred style of play in setting up a team "not to lose" rather than to win.

He's had his chances, the football is turgid, and if we keep him, we are in grave danger of fighting for consecutive relegations
