He becomes the first Premier League boss to be sacked in the first month of the season since Newcastle got rid of Sir Bobby Robson and Robson had just guided Newcastle to a fifth-place finish in the Premier League and the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, but a poor opening to the 2004-05 campaign saw owner Freddy Shepherd sack him amid rumours of dressing room discontent.

English Premier League strugglers Bournemouth on Tuesday sacked head coach Scott Parker, days after they were thrashed 9-0 at Liverpool.

"We must also show belief in and respect for one another. "Our promotion back to the Premier League last season under his tenure will always be remembered as one of the most successful seasons in our history." That is the approach that has brought this club so much success in recent history, and one that we will not veer from now.

The club’s statement refers not to the record defeat but of “showing belief in and respect for one another” and the desire to run the club sustainably. Tell the club that they don’t know what they’re doing and you better hope that you have enough goodwill in the bank. At the end of July, six days before the new season started, Parker told the local newspaper: “It’s clear that we are lacking in a lot of areas at this present moment in time. That interview was not a call-to-arms, as is typical. Parker insisted that the club could not be competitive with the current squad. Not only did he ignore the easy-to-reach epithets, he chose to use that interview to attack the club’s transfer policy. But that is only part of the story here. It is the earliest sacking of a promoted manager in the history of English top-flight football. Instead, Parker is the victim of his own honesty and misguided attempts to engineer transfer activity. That leaves so little wiggle room that you struggle to take in a breath. This is a game of averages and they are weighted against you. Bournemouth have lost three of their four league matches this season against last year’s top two and the only team in England with a perfect league record; they won the other.

In his post-match interview following Saturday's defeat at Anfield, Parker said "there is no denying we are under-equipped at this level". Richard's told BBC ...

"Surely he is having these conversations beforehand. We are in the Premier League and you are supposed to be telling me how good we are, even if you’ve got to lie at certain times to build that confidence up." He is a great guy and can be very emotional at times.

One very heavy defeat isn't usually enough to merit a sacking, but Bournemouth were clearly unhappy at Parker's comments after the Liverpool match.

There is a sense in which the Parker sacking is harsh. Parker isn’t the only manager to have felt this cold chill after such a result, either. And all of this makes the second of these reasons the likely deciding factor behind Parker becoming the first Premier League manager to suffer such a heavy loss and immediately get pushed out of the door. To lose so heavily to a club that came close to becoming the champions of both England and Europe just three months ago is far from surprising. “That’s not me making an excuse because there were some goals in that game which were down to our own doing and we can do something about that. At this moment, we’re just a little bit underequipped at this level and it’s proved to be difficult.

Parker was roped in by Bournemouth in 2021 and guided it to promotion from the Championship last season. Parker had earlier guided Fulham in a two-and-a-half-year spell, including a couple of relegations from the league and one promotion. Following Bournemouth’s promotion to the EPL, he guided the side in just four matches this season. In a statement released by Bournemouth, club owner Maxim Demin attested, “I would like to place on record my gratitude to Scott and his team for their efforts during their time with us.

Parker suggested he didn’t think further signings would be made before Thursday’s deadline and went on to speak of “issues” at the club. We need to make a decision and try and help this group, this young group, who at times are struggling for air. “However, in order for us to keep progressing as a team and a club as a whole, it is unconditional that we are aligned in our strategy to run the club sustainably.

Marcus Tavernier was bought for £12.5m from Middlesbrough and the Argentine defender Marcos Sensei was a £13.5m signing from Feyenoord. But at this moment in time, where we currently are, I can see some more, to be honest with you.

SCOTT PARKER was "too honest" in his post-match interview after Bournemouth's hammering by Liverpool - which proved to be his final match in charge of.

"The players need help. "Time will tell. Our search for a new head coach will begin immediately.” "It doesn’t surprise me. He is a great guy and can be very emotional at times. It puts that doubt in your mind.

LIVERPOOL's 9-0 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday was Scott Parker's final game as Bournemouth boss.

"And probably not surprised so much, in the sense of the levels we're playing against here and the quality is just far greater than what we have in this present moment in time at our disposal. He said: "It goes without saying it's a real humbling experience and one which was pretty shell-shocking, really, in the sense of the result. Bournemouth co-owner Maxim Demin said in a statement: “I would like to place on record my gratitude to Scott and his team for their efforts during their time with us. And Liverpool boss Klopp has hit out at Bournemouth's hierarchy, claiming that Parker's sacking is evidence that you need the 'right' people in charge of a football club. Parker was dismissed by Bournemouth on Tuesday morning, with a brief statement appearing to suggest that there was a divide between his aims and the club's board. The Reds' 9-0 thumping of the Cherries on Saturday proved to be Parker's final match in charge.

Jurgen Klopp has expressed his sympathy for Scott Parker after he came the first Premier League managerial casualty of the season.

There are the right players out there for Bournemouth. ‘I cannot say if they need strengthening or not it just looked like they didn’t do a lot of business. I’m 100% sure Scott Parker would have had the right idea who the righr players are. That is the approach that has brought this club so much success in recent history, and one that we will not veer from now. He added: ‘Signing players never makes sense if they are not the right ones. You have other clubs with other structures like us and maybe Arsenal or whoever.
