I think that the Scot Parker decision is not quite so outrageous as others think.  If you read the statement made by Bournemouth's owners, they make it clear that they need their manager to help them progress in a sustainable way.  Mr Parker, in the wake of the 9-0 defeat said on the BBC that his team are "under equipped" for the Premier League.

My interpretation of the owner's statement is that they are not at all happy with Mr Parker publicly criticising his players and the owners (which his comments suggest he was doing).

Managers need to realise that they cannot demand endless big money signings to feed their  mistakes then keep asking for more.  Bournemouth wish to be sustainable, quite right so.  I think that Mr Neill at Sunderland was trying to force the hand of the owners to open the cheque book.  He has found the right partner at Stoke, who happily throw huge sums of money at their distinctly average football team and feed the egos of their managers who splash out big transfer fees.  

The BBC did a good opinion piece of Mr Parker's sacking, I think they make so important points about what has gone on here.

 

Missed his interview but listened now and on balance I agree with you. Could be a job for Dyche this

Outrageous decision given the teams they have played. How many points were they expecting from Villa, City, Arsenal and Liverpool?

Why not Potter?  Ex-player, must count for something?

Anyway, the interview should be straightforward, they’ll just need the candidates to demonstrate polishing a 7urd

Is this potter at Brighton? No idea why he’d go from Brighton to sjoke.

Rooney - possibility

Potter - highly unlikely

Benitez - no chance 

Wilder - very doubtful

Big Sam - maybe. 

Dyche, unfortunately, would be a good fit. 

Your being a bit generous there. There is not a even a 1% chance Stoke could get Rooney and even less of a chance to get Potter. Got Dyche’s name all over it - hope they don’t get him though. Would love them to try another Nathan Jones appointment

Thought that was a poor fight until the final couple of rounds. He’s a decent fighter Chisora; but I can’t see him getting close to wilder if they fight

No surprise there. Khan with his glass chin again.  Knew brook win but wasn’t expecting such a battering. Time to pack it in.

Quality fight that. Fury for me won most rounds. Credit for wilder for sticking in there, he could have gone literally anytime after that first big hit. Complete masterclass again from fury though, just far too good.

Unbelievable fight. Credit both men - they give everything. How Joshua recovered from the onslaught he went through in R6 I don't know.

He looked completely done, I don't know how he came back, he should've been finished off though but aj was amazing to come back and then land the blows he did in r11
