Scott Parker was, like many others, not too long ago a name that was linked with the poisoned chalice that is the managerial hot seat at Tottenham Hotspur. José Mourinho was sacked on April 19th by the current club chairman, Daniel Levy. Some 70 days later and what has evidently deteriorated into a goose chase continues in slow motion.
A cursory glance at Google research results for ‘Scott Parker next Spurs manager’ reveals that shortly after the Portuguese was dismissed, that Parker was clearly a popular choice to be the next coach at Hotspur Way.
Today, the Mail Online revealed that the former Spurs midfielder is now set to take over at Bournemouth Football Club.
I take a view that this would be another great opportunity for Parker to try and refine his craft as a coach, and so this suggestion makes some sense.
Whether Tottenham ever spoke to Parker about the role or not is almost immaterial at this stage, the fact that yet another name, reasonably mooted by so many journalists, has gone elsewhere… it only adds to the flavour of the chaos soup.
Yep certainly in England ……
In a way I’m happy for journey man Scott, the same way as I think Mason would be better served at say Derby County. Disappointed how some of these options are acceptable to the fan base that they even entertain these ideas.
They maybe our gaffers in the future BUT that’s years away.
No manager and no recognised striker for the start of the season, each day makes it a possibility at Spurs.
It’s musical chairs, and the only one without a seat at the moment is Nuno.
Spurs will shortly have literally nowhere else to go.
Being proud of one’s country is now something to be despised
If Danny keeps asking, surely there will be nowhere else to go and they will have to say yes? But then they will probably retire. Has Danny no shame? After Gross and Ramos, can Spurs go any lower? Confused? You will be after this weeks episode of Spurs! You want me to get that?
On another note, Harry will wear a rainbow armband tomorrow night in support of Pride. Maybe H can explain to me why we gave Pride WEEK but Remembrance DAY. Just a thought.
This was announced last night, something Sky actually got right for a change.
