what about football players at the Olympics are they athletes
and also footballers are just footballers but pole vaulters are athletes can you explain the difference please?
Similar feelings, but I suppose it beats being totally against an appointment lol at the very least it does give us cause to be optimistic of another push for promotion, as I highly doubt that Parker would swap Fulham for us if we were just looking to consolidate.I’m at a loss on this one. Can’t make my mind up, can’t have a strong opinion either way which for those of you that know me will realise is bugging me. The good news is I won’t be able to ‘I told you so’ which is equally as frustrating for me.
I’ve been falling out with myself all day on it. He is a good age, experience at top level, got a championship promotion, speaks well, looks the part and well connected. That’s good!
My ex father in law and a work colleague with excellent knowledge of football are Fulham season ticket holders and say he bored his way out of championship and bored his way out of Premier League twice. That’s bad!
But, tough board to work with, no control over transfers, lots of loans he didn’t want so that’s understandable...
But, had a great squad in championship and set up to draw most key games with a back five....
Aaaggghhhh..... I’m stumped. Totally ambivalent.... hate it!

Or Eddie for that matter?With Tottenham on to their 54th choice when does Scott Parker come into the equation for them?
I’m going to agree with Neil!
Truth is, it’s hard to predict if Parker will be a success or not. Even Eddie back will be rejected by some given his final 18 months at the club. Let’s not forget the club is not as as an attractive option as it was a year ago so think any appointment now will carry some risk.
I didn’t watch Fulham much last season so appreciate that their fans posting here will have much more insight than me.
From afar they looked a chaotic team at the start that you felt were doomed to go down given they were leaking goals 3 or 4 a game. However, Scott turned it around, really tightened up at the back and got a number of loan players to gel. In some of the games I saw around the mid point, Fulham seemed bright attacking wise and created chances that should gave won more points. At January transfer window felt Fulham had a decent chance of catching at least one from Burnley, Brighton and Newcastle. However faded badly and others picked up points.
Only 3 teams in bottom half let in less goals than fulham last season: Villa Brighton and (by 1 goal) wolves. Sounds like Parker realised he had to tighten up at the back if he had any chance and January recruits like Maja weren’t good enough to get the necessary goals.
I think if Bournemouth are to have success we need to tighten up defensively which Parker will do and I believe he will want to play a passing game that suits Afcb’s DNA. He must have been reassured that we will have a decent budget and want to challenge for automatic promotion otherwise wouldn’t come here. The big risk is we don’t have the quality up front that Parker’s approach needs to achieve success if danjuma billing and brooks get sold.
Either way, good to get the manager in place and get on with the developing the squad who are hungry to give it 100% every game.
NO.Well we need another goal scoring striker, maybe we could sign this lad from a London club, Aleksandar Mitrovic.
NO.
Poor attitude with a bit more pace than Steve fletcher.
Thanks for the good news!......you can come again.Hi all, received the message below from my mate that works at Fulham.
The fulham contract is holding it up. They want compo but Bournemouth can't afford it. Parker says he will walk but again Fulham will only accept his resignation and let him go if there is a clause he won't go to Bournemouth as they want compo.
Spurs back in the mix aswell now. His agent is touting him around to other clubs too.
looks like this is going to drag on and on for a while longer yet….
