Can't lose 9 nil in that manner and keep job

They need players in , can't see them out of bottom 3 come end of season

Hate seeing anyone lose their job but good riddance can't stand the bell end.

Brought players in just like he did at Fulham.... can lose 9-0 and keep job Southampton kept their manager after similar defeat but think board know he'll get them relegated ..... at least we wont see his silly cardigan he wears again...

He was sacked due to latter not former. Parker demanded new players and Board won't give him any more money so fired him as their futures no longer aligned.

Bournemouth actually started well, beat Villa and lost to City, Arsenal and Liverpool. They have maximised their possible points so far IMO.

Cant understand how a Premier league club can survive with a ground capacity less than Newports and Wrexhams.

Parker replaced Jonathan Woodgate as Bournemouth manager on 28 June, 2021

Parker left Fulham for Bournemouth in June 2021 and led them to promotion from the Championship as runners-up, but his managerial statistics since returning to the Premier League make unhappy reading.

After winning their opening match 2-0 at home to Aston Villa, the Cherries conceded 16 goals in their next three league games - losing 4-0 at Manchester City and 3-0 at home to Arsenal before shipping nine goals at Anfield. Their goal difference of -14 is the worst after four games in English top-flight history.

Parker was dismissed just 25 days into the season - the earliest a manager of a newly promoted side has ever been sacked in the Premier League.

He is also the first Premier League manager in 18 years - since Bobby Robson at Newcastle in 2004 - to lose his job in August and only the 11th to be sacked just four games into a season - the most recent being Javi Gracia at Watford in 2019.

The former Charlton and Chelsea midfielder described the 9-0 defeat at Liverpool that triggered his departure as a "humbling experience", saying in his post-match press conference that the squad needed strengthening if they were to be equipped for the Premier League.

He added: "This is the toughest day, as a player and certainly as a coach. The touchline was pretty painful and I could sense it was painful for the players as well. They need some help.

"It doesn't surprise me. This is currently where it is at this moment in time. Today proved too big a challenge. The levels were far too big."

Parker also made pointed remarks directed towards the club's hierarchy in an apparent bid for support in the transfer market.

"We've got a decision to make as a club," said Parker. "There will be days like this. Time will tell. It's my job and it will be the defining of us as a group of how we bounce back from this.

"We have some days where hopefully we can get some help in and support and help the current team who came up from the Championship.

"There's loads of work to be done. The experience today, you never want to be on the end of this. This is currently where are are. If this is the group we're going with we'll react and see where we are."
'He was a little bit too honest'

Bournemouth made just five additions to the squad that helped secure promotion from the Championship.

They spent a reported £13.5m on Feyenoord centre-back Marcos Senesi, 25, and £12.5m on 23-year-old Middlesbrough midfielder Marcus Tavernier, although both fees were undisclosed by the club.

The Cherries also added three free transfers - West Ham right-back Ryan Fredericks, 29, Blackburn midfielder Joe Rothwell, 27, and Barcelona goalkeeper Neto, 33.

Micah Richards, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, said Parker was wrong to make the comments he did after the Liverpool game, and questioned the timing of his remarks on the club's transfer policy.

"With that interview, he was a little bit too honest," said the former Manchester City defender.

"He has basically said to his players that he doesn't think they are very good, in a roundabout way. If I heard that from my manager, I'd be wondering if he thinks I am good enough. It puts that doubt in your mind.

"With two days left of the transfer window, it's too late.

"Surely he is having these conversations beforehand. You aren't going to get the player you want anyway, but even if you do get them you are going to have to pay too much money. I just think it's too little too late for that."

Whilst 9-0 was a shocker, i agree that three points from those games is about the best you could reasonably expect. Most fans would probably have settled for that. One more point and it would have been a very good start.

Agree .

It was his post-match interview that caused his exit.

You can't publicly criticise your employers, however subtle, and expect to keep your job.

He called the board out and they agreed with him then sacked him…… he’s a good manager, just hope he doesn’t get known as a one trick pony for promotion
