It appears to be more about his comments regarding the club’s transfer policy, which suggested there was a lot of disharmony.

He knew what that was though, they were never going to spend loads when they got promoted, they simply can't. Thing with Bournemouth is when Howe was there they threw everything at climbing through the divisions into the PL but it meant they ended up with a tiny ground (not their own) and training ground which is sub standard by all accounts. The owner/board want to do more with the infrastructure of the club and Parker knew that, he just doesn't like it. He whinged at Fulham and is doing it again now, not a manager for me.

I completely agree.

Apparently they have played 5 at the back all season, yet against that lot they play 4.

Another tube that doesn’t want to upset Herr Shipman. [Poor language removed] house player and a [Poor language removed] house manager. Rightfully sacked.

I can't stand the club. They deserve everything that's coming to them for giving the RS £40m for Solanke, Ibe and Smith...that should be a criminal offence.

I agree to an extent. While you can be displeased with the situation, he ultimately knew the situation that the club was in and their MO.

Still, if the club are to survive in the PL then there has to be adequate investment in the squad otherwise you become a yo-yo club, at best.

Maybe they’re happy with that - like the Norwich board - but as a manager it could and probably should be frustrating.
 
He probably watched the match on Saturday, looked at the lack of transfer progress, said to himself, "What's the point in staining my record further here? I get paid the same either way," and opened his gob.

It suggests a lack of commitment...but then again, commitment is a two-way street.

I don't think its a case of being happy, more a case of needing to tighten the purse strings for a while.
 

So harsh on him, gets them promoted, wins his first game of the season, let's blame him for playing 2 of the best teams in Europe and a team in seriously good form looking awesome in 3 of his first 4 games.

I don't think the performances got him sacked, I think it's his comments after the game tbh.
