Scott Parker was sacked by Bournemouth after a bitter war of words with the club’s hierarchy.
Parker, 41, openly questioned the direction and commitment of Bournemouth after they suffered a humiliating 9-0 away defeat at Liverpool - and he was axed just three days later.
Bournemouth’s Russian-born owner Maxim Demin issued a strongly worded statement in sacking Parker and his dismissal was down to the ex-England midfielder’s comments rather than the Liverpool defeat. Bournemouth have spent just £22m in the transfer market, Parker has insisted they needed more reinforcements and yet the club’s hierarchy have been reluctant to spend big.
