Maybe they'll get the PE teacher in to replace him

He always looks like a real life bobblehead toy.

They could always try to entice 'Arry out of retirement. He only lives down the road in Sandbanks.
Apparently, the brains of the family, Rosie, is no longer around.

Did she run off with all the money?

(I am still trying) :)

Parker is one of the most promising managers, the sacking was brutal and the Directors should hang their heads in shame. Fair enough, they might not have the resources to buy players, but they decided to go ahead with funding an Academy and training centre once they got promoted. If they had used those funds for players Bournemouth might still have Parker as a manager, but I doubt if anyone as competent as Parker would contemplate the job. I live in Bournemouth but not a fan, I just happened to move here twenty years ago. They surprised everyone by winning their first match, but they haven’t invested in the team at all, and their ground is the smallest in the Premier League. That said, City beat them easily but they didn’t go for the jugular, Liverpool show no respect to teams in trouble, shame on them for not easing back once the game was won

I think there's something in what you said there about not showing respect for opponents. We've handed out quite a few absolute beastings over the past few years, but there is definitely a point at which we have eased it off. I'm particularly thinking about the FA Cup Final against Watford. There was no appetite from the bench to just keep putting the boot into Watfords metaphorical gonads. Celebrations were not excessive and I think there was some genuine empathy there. There have been quite few league games where its felt similar.

When the goals were flying in last weekend against Bournemoth I had the feeling that they would just keep going and show no real respect for the opponent and thats what happened. Its all very well Bingo putting his arm around Parker in some kind of patronising show but the over celebrating was somewhat crass in my opinion. I think Utd did something similar to Palace a few years ago but even that was quite low key by the end.

When it comes to lack of self awareness you can rely on the dippers and their horrible support.

I'm no fan of "Little Scotty" Parker to be honest after his shamefull cheating involving Mario a few years back and he was embarrassing during the post match interview but no-one likes a billy big bollocks and the vermin were certainly behaving like that.

Saw a nice blue/grey plain one in the charity shop today and as I've just found some masking tape I can wrap round the sleeve, I might go back for it tomorrow - £3!.

Should have been flirted for wearing that alone.
