We asked for your views on Scott Parker’s departure, its timing and whether you agree with the club’s decision.
Here are some of your comments:
Mike: You have to wonder why the director of football hasn’t been sacked along with those responsible for recruitment. It’s not all Parker’s fault.
Paul: Parker has tried hard but not succeeded and his departure is well overdue. Looking forward to a more proactive approach from a new manager who can instill a positive, winning mindset in the squad.
Bob: Great in the Championship but it’s been difficult in the Premier league. Let down by our recruitment and our board. That won’t change with a new manager. I wish him every success wherever he goes. Thank you.
Alan: Useless. What on earth is the Burnley board doing? Their ineptitude is beyond belief. If Parker had to go it was at Christmas, what is the point now? They must have a list of possible replacements so three weeks is not going to make the slightest difference. Parker should at least have been given the respect of being allowed to leave with a full season under his belt, rather than maintaining the tag of unable to manage a complete Premier League season. Disgraceful.
Barry: I think Scott Parker is an honest football person and he has conducted himself this season as a true gentleman. What you need to ask yourself is whether anyone else would have got more out of this current squad? And probably not. I wish Scott all the very best.
Richard: The Sean Dyche legacy of “legs, hearts, minds” and “the minimum requirement is maximum effort” has gone missing this season after such a strong promotion. I wish Scott Parker well and look forward to a return to the days when visiting teams hate coming to the Turf.
