Twitter might have it wrong.

When can we expect the white smoke above the Kp?

The general consensus on BBC FF was that Parker will get it. However they had a reporter from Bournemouth press who described how Parker works and sets his teams up. The bad thing is he described an absolute Rodgers clone.

Consensus among whom? None of the mainstream media seem to be touching the Parker story with a barge pole. If it was definitely happening, you’d expect at least one of the Leicester-following reporters to have covered it, but no. Total silence. It’s a bit fishy.

Don't bring fish into it, people will be carping on about it.

Not bringing fish into it, mate. I just wonder if Scott Parker is a red herring…

we'll soon be told if he is in plaice.

More a dressed crab.

Consensus among whom?

He's referring to yesterdays When Your Smiling podcast. Apart from piper I can't recall who was on it, only half listened.

I did perk up to the Bournemouth reporter bit - the only positive I took was that he made them very very difficult to score against, which would be a nice change.

He will flounder !!

 

[Filbo24]

As long as he adds a bit of badly needed mussel to our side

 

[bertie]

He will flounder !!

Cod be today's news or tomorrow's chip paper

Suits me if we win the FA Cup and have two top five finishes. He can then fuck off before it all goes tits up ....

I actually think he has something about him and is as likely as anybody to get us up

If anybody is curious about what it might be like under Scott Parker, this thread from a Fulham season ticket holder is pretty informative. And this isn't just the view of one person - there are loads of Fulham, Bournemouth and Club Bruges fans saying exactly the same thing...

I read the comments on Twitter - Bodgers the 2nd by the sounds of it

He is loathed by the fans of all three clubs he's managed. That's a fairly big red flag in my book.

That's what the Bournemouth reporter said, sounds just like him

Might as well stick with Deano for a dozen games - see how it goes

Agree, but you just know that they will go for someone like Parker. Bet he interviews well. Mid-table mediocrity at best. Aren't we "bigger" than Bournemouth and Fulham?

 

[stokiefox]

Shocking dress sense if I remember rightly??

 

[EMExile]

Well, he's got a 9-0er under his belt, so seems ideal to work with Plastic & Vesta.

 

[AlgarFox]

Wasn't he at Fulham when he questioned their board for a lack of backing, just like Rodgers did here?

Don’t forget we’re starting in a position of negativity.

 

[sabredunce]

Who's directly involved in the interview/selection process? When DeSosa was hired I remember them using an outside advisory agency.

That was at Bournemouth just after they’d been thumped 9-0 at Liverpool. 48hrs later he was sacked.
