Scott Parker’s new Fulham contract will include a big-money bonus for beating the drop, according to the Daily Mail.
Fulham’s eagerness to extend their manager’s deal at Craven Cottage was widely revealed in the wake of their dramatic Championship play-off final win over Brentford last week. Parker, now 39, is only under contract to the west London club until next summer and is expected to be handed a significant boost to his current wages and a bonus based on securing the Whites’ survival in the top flight that could total £1m. The Mail suggests that both parties are confident that discussions over the terms of the contract, due to take place when Parker returns from a family holiday, will prove straightforward.
Parker’s backroom staff, including first team coach Matt Wells, assistant manager Stuart Gray, goalkeeping coach Rob Burch and long-serving head of sports science Ally Harris, are also in line for new deals designed to reflect the club’s recent success. With his own position secure, Parker will quickly turn his attention to strengthening Fulham’s squad ahead of their return to the top flight alongside vice chairman and director of football Tony Khan. The pair have ruled out a spending spree to compare with the club’s lavish 2019 spending but supplementing the side that took them to promotion will be vital with just four weeks until the start of the new campaign.
As a Fulham supporter….i feel scot parker is in a fantastic place….and with him and the team and back staff I think we will stay up for a while this time…..we learn from mistakes……come on Fulham
I feel the same, too many people slated parker and wanted him out. This guy is learning the ropes and will be a fantastic manager. I alway feel too much upheaval damages clubs parker offer stability and foundations to build a solid club
Weve still got to overcome a huge liability! The American amateur who thinks he knows enough to sign players!!!
In terms of player recruitment Scott Parker should be in charge of this aspect of club policy. Tony Khan’s record in this regard is truly awful and reflects his limited abilities as far as football is concerned. I very much agree with John Saunders comments. Furthermore Khan’s recent comments about Ryan Sessegnon were a disgrace. Fulham were relegated not because of Ryan but due to the chaos created by Tony Khan. This was reflected in a waste of a 100 million pounds, having three managers in a season and a general feeling that Fulham had a Director of Football who was clueless.
