Fair point ,but think he and team took a while to adapt to the premiership, but they have adjusted better now albeit a bit late. They have won 3 games since the start of December. I think the reality of Fulham is a lot different than the perception of Fulham.

Which is my take - they have a quality squad that should be doing better..!! So Parker is a no for me..!! Like I said before think it will be Benetiz. COYP

If Parker is as good as you think he is, why with those quality players have they been in the bottom 3 most of the season and relegation most likely? Parker has made Fulham defensively sound, they play attractive football, but like Brighton they have struggled to turn draws into wins. I've seen most of their games recently and the fine margins have not gone their way. He's got a big future ahead of him I reckon as he is learning fast and has made changes that have brought results. I didn't mean Spurs should sign him tomorrow, but as a former player with an attachment to the club I'd be watching him if I was Levy. I think with a young manager it should be about signs they are learning, not just the results they have achieved.

You could of written the same about Howe a few years ago, even touted for Arsenal and England. They both knew better as Howe crashed and burned under the pressure, all our successful managers recently have never managed a team to relegation.

Not towards the end of last season he didn't. Often looked shell shocked and traumatised to me.

Most managers have a period where the pressure gets to them. Even the very top managers have shown that at times. To write off two managers in their early 40s seems a bit premature. I'm not saying I especially want either here as I'm not sure how they'd fit in, or that they're ready for a top job, but they both seem intelligent and to have a good understanding of the game. The PL is a ruthless league though, so if Howe gets another chance he will need to have some success or it may be some time before he gets another chance. I think Parker will stay on at Fulham even if they go down as he seems popular there and he is still learning his trade.

The analysis of Howes period at Burnley on this thread has been a bit harsh too. You could argue that he laid the foundation for Dyche to build upon. As for Rafa - a manager who moves around so much chasing the money is not conducive to a longer term strategy. Also played dour stuff at Newcastle - no doubting the toon fans loved him, but that’s because of his stance on Ashley - not for playing exciting football. By and large his style of play there was nearly as bad as the defensive dross we’ve endured this season.

They finished mid-table, he then cancelled his contract and two days later was back at Bournemouth. He then got Bournemouth relegated and didn’t fancy staying around in the championship to get them back up. Dyche, Parker Rafa and even Farke have all decided not to walk away from their respective clubs and got them back up (Norwich look all but up but you never know). I said earlier, its crazy how some managers (Wilder, Wagner, Howe, Silva, Bruce, Hughes.....) get relegated from them prem, they leave or are sacked and then they are rumoured for other premier league jobs. THEY ARE FAILURES. Look at Newcastle now. This is a man that has taken Birmingham and Hull down and somehow the Newcastle board thought he was a good fit for their club. Based on purely facts, I don’t want a failure at palace. I certainly don’t want a ‘broken man’ to come in. Suppose it is too soon for him, he leaves and we are in limbo. He has walked out on 2 clubs 8 years, both times when things got tough. We want winners at the club, someone to take us forward. Not chancers who play good football. Why don’t we aim higher, look at the teams doing well, Leicester prized Rogers from Celtic.

When he went back to Bournemouth they were 20th in 'League 1' after 12 games and he got them promoted to the 'Championship' that season. I certainly don't view Howe as a failure or a quitter.

Edited by Willo (23 Mar 2021 11.19pm) Signings he couldn’t get a tune out of. Managers are not judged on the players they sign, they are judged on results. He finished 9th and 13th. He quit Burnley and signed for Bournemouth TWO later on 12th October. He quit Bournemouth at the end of the season after he failed at keeping them up. Bournemouth’s (like us), number one objective is to stay in the league. Did he not fail? Your are blinded by the facts. Regardless of his reasons, he has quit two clubs in 8 years. Fact! How can he not be a quitter in your view?
