The 41-year-old Parker, a former England international midfielder, had taken Bournemouth to promotion last season from the second-tier Championship. Parker had taken several public swipes at Bournemouth’s management over their failure to strengthen the squad after their return to the top flight. In a parting shot at Parker, owner Maxim Demin said in a statement that “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.

After three defeats in a row, culminating in the 9-0 humbling at Liverpool on Saturday, Scott Parker has been sacked by Bournemouth.

Scott Parker has become the first managerial casualty of the 2022-23 Premier League campaign after being sacked by Bournemouth.

The last time a top-flight side shipped as many goals at this stage of a season was in 1963-64 by Arsenal (also 16). Bournemouth have conceded more goals in their first four games of a Premier League season than any other side in the competition’s history (16). 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.

“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,” he added. “The club said the search for a new manager would begin immediately and that first team coach Gary O’Neil would take over in the interim. “We’ve got a decision to make as a club.

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.

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.

The manager was always going to be under threat after saying the club is 'ill-equipped' for the Premier League.

Parker may have deserved more loyalty, may have been sacked despite succeeding at the job in front of him. In a way this is a sacking that goes to the heart of what head coaches are now at clubs of this scale, where the entire project is about buoyancy, overperformance, finding an equation that will defy scale and keep this entity in the world’s most lucrative league for however many years as it enters a new £10bn TV rights cycle. Parker got the club back up at the first time of asking, a feat that is literally money in the pocket for the club’s owner, Maxim Demin. Eight of the team that started the promotion season a year ago also played in the 9-0 at Anfield. The fact is sacking your manager has worked quite well in recent times. The success of clubs such as Brighton and Brentford may be based on more coherent long-term strategies. Bournemouth just looked like what they are: a team with too many players still dazed by the step up, unable to win the vital moments. Parker was appointed in June 2021 and took them up with basically the same squad. The initial reaction will, of course, be sympathy. The good news for Scott Parker is that Bournemouth’s owners agree with him. More worrying still, seven of those above him on the list and the three immediately below ( No other promoted team have acted so quickly – and it is not hard to see why, mainly because this is such an utterly ruthless act, a junking of any basic notion of loyalty and employer relations.
