    Russian owners money tied up in.......Russia. Even though he disassociated himself from Putin.

    They could only buy on the back of TV money hence free transfers from Championship clubs.

    Cherries fans speculation is for Dyche. He's used to managing a small club and limited budget. He'll need to do that on home crowds of 10,000.

    Wouldn't surprise me. If they lose away against Arsenal tomorrow then they could drop into a trap door position.

    They can't afford to go down - suggestions are there's a potential big fat FFP liability waiting if they drop into the EFL again.

    Losing to Arsenal Man C & Liverpool justifies dismissal.

    Absolute joke. If they lost to Forest Villa and Fulham then one could just about understand it but even then it’s only a few games in.

    Seems to be there must be something within the club underlying this which has driven this other than losing to 3 of ‘the top 6’ teams.

    I think some of his comments after the Liverpool game were not liked by their board so the exit door was inevitable.

    And that stupid jacket with 4 white rings on the sleeve.

    Not saying I like or feel sorry for Parker as I don’t but talking objectively and how in general it is just another example of how expendable managers are.

    Also how widely different the backing is.
    Parker has paid the price for speaking out.
    I suppose when it's your reputation, you can either be a yes man or stand your ground.
    Then do you do it in private or publicly.
    Never worked him out as a manager. Relatively inexperienced but seems to have done ok with decent squads.
    Interesting that two managers with little experience of big budgets have had lots to spend.
    Cooper and Howe have done well on tight budgets but now are spending big.
    Trusting owners.

    Tuchel has been booted out at Chelsea.

    They are apparently going after Potter at Brighton.

    Crazy decision after allowing him to spend a fortune in the transfer window without allowing him time to pull it all together.

    Another example of owners just looking at the league table and not trying to see the bigger picture. I have great respect for Potter but to target him just because Brighton are above Chelsea after just a few games seems daft
    That said, it was probably the European game that finally did for him. Though even that isn't a situation that can't be turned around.
    More money than sense.
