Parker guided Bournemouth to automatic promotion from the Championship last season, but it was his first Premier League managerial exit since 2004. After opening the new top-flight season with a home win over Aston Villa, Parker’s side were heavily beaten by Manchester City and Arsenal to sit 17th in the table after the club’s humiliation at Anfield. Parker had expressed his frustration at Bournemouth’s inactivity in the transfer market and said he feared more heavy defeats this season unless the club made signings before Thursday’s transfer deadline. A statement from Bournemouth owner Maxime Demin said he needed “respect” and “loyalty” at the club ahead of the rest of the season. Denim added: “In order for us to continue to progress as a team and as a club as a whole, it is imperative that we are aligned in our strategy for the sustainable operation of the club.” The statement said the search for a new manager would begin immediately and first-team boss Gary O’Neill would take charge on an interim basis ahead of the home game against Wolves on Wednesday. Parker was left deflated by Bournemouth’s 9-0 defeat by Liverpool – which equaled the record for the heaviest Premier League defeat – and said his young side were “gasping for air” just four games into the campaign.

Marcus Tavernier was bought for £12.5m from Middlesbrough and Argentine defender Marcos Senesi was a £13.5m signing from Feyenoord. Joe Rothwell, Ryan Fredericks and back-up goalkeeper Neto were free additions. Asked if he hoped the 9-0 defeat was the low point of Bournemouth’s season, Parker said: “At the moment, yes for sure. For sure. But right now, where we are right now, I can see more, to be honest with you. “We have to make a decision. It’s right there. I think I was clear on that from the moment I walked in. We have to make a decision and try to help this team, this young team, which is sometimes struggling for air. Each one of us – me, my staff, the fans – has to make that decision, really.” Parker suggested he did not believe further signings would be made before Thursday’s deadline and went on to speak of “issues” at the club. “There’s a million reasons and there’s a lot of circumstances where it’s not as simple as not being able to sign players because players don’t want to come or whatever,” Parker said. “I would like to express my gratitude to Scott and his team for their efforts during their time with us,” said Bournemouth co-owner Demin. “Our promotion back to the Premier League last season under him will always be remembered as one of the most successful seasons in our history. “However, to continue to progress as a team and as a club as a whole, it is imperative that we are aligned in our strategy for the sustainable operation of the club. We must also show faith and respect to one another. That’s the approach that has brought this club so much success in recent history, and one we won’t stray from now. “Our search for a new coach will begin immediately.” Parker becomes the first Premier League managerial casualty since the 2004-05 season, when Southampton’s Paul Sturrock left the club after just two games and Newcastle parted ways with Sir Bobby Robson after four games.
