Scott Parker

[Leeds Cherry]

I think 3 million for a manager is acceptable when compared to some of the fees we have paid for players. All clubs seem to be reluctant to pay compensation though.
If we do get Parker, then the decisions taken in mid season make more sense now.

Crikey billy - you're a more efficient search engine than Google!!

...... and twice as wealthy

If we're looking at paying £3M on top of Parker's wages could we not just offer it as sign on fee for a better free agent?

rightly or wrongly, it seems the board really want parker. whether it works out is another story, but at least they appear to have a plan and going for a long time target, which I think is commendable.

Why is there all this fuss about getting Parker?

What exactly has he done that we seemingly have to go all out to get him, apparantly having to pay millions in compensation in the process?

Is the compensation fee that extortionate?

Personally I’d say the manager is the most important signing of the summer.

If we spent £3million on a new left back I don’t think many would grumble (unless it was Brad Smith again).

Reminds me of an old joke - What’s green and hangs from pricks? A Parka.

Agreed, £3 million if correct is nothing for a manager

FULHAM are digging in against Scott Parker and refusing to pay their outgoing manager a penny in severance pay.

Parker is trying to negotiate his way out of the club to join Championship rivals Bournemouth.

And with two years left on his deal at Craven Cottage he could expect a hefty pay-off in excess of £2million if he left by mutual consent.

But Fulham’s top brass are playing hardball and insist Parker will have to resign or just leave without pocketing any cash.

Eitherway just bloody hurry up!

Does this go with what you are hearing @Fulhamfaninpeace

 

[wellsworld]

fair play to them for not chucking their PL money down the drain, like we seem to

 

[billythekid]

West Brom fans have mixed feelings about their manager who will be announced this week.

[klaus_afcb]

Just to be clear, do you rate Parker or not?

Oh come on, is no-one allowed to sit on the fence any more?

 

[Winsor Cherry]

Agreed.
So Parker gets Fulham relegated then wants them to reward him with £2M+ whilst he immediately gets decent terms from us, one of their rivals.
If I were a Fulham fan I wouldn't want the club to back down. Cake & eat it springs to mind.

So if we start playing 5 across the back, will our system be known as the Parker Bus system?

I thought you'd said he signed yesterday?
