Scott Parker has agreed a new three-year contract with Fulham, according to a report from the Sun tonight.
The 39 year-old opened talks with the Londoners in the immediate aftermath of Fulham’s play-off victory over local rivals Brentford last month. The Whites wanted to tie down their former captain to a longer deal after he guided the club back to the top flight at the first time of asking – with his reputation rising after navigating a path out of the testing Championship.
For his part, Parker wanted a long-term commitment from the club’s owners and the Sun asserts that the Fulham boss has been afforded a greater role in the club’s recruitment than previous incumbents. Parker’s input has been praised by Fulham’s summer signings, with both Antonee Robinson and Mario Lemina revealing that their discussions with the manager were pivotal to their decisions to move to Craven Cottage.
The tabloid suggests that official confirmation of Parker’s new contract will come next week as Fulham build up to their opening fixture of the new campaign against Arsenal.
Well done Scott Parker well deserved
I really wasn’t sure if he was right, but he’s proved me wrong and I’m pleased he has. Good one Scott, keep it going.
Good move for the club. Come on September 12!
Great to see you back in the comment section, Don! Hope you are well!
Parker has earned every day of his new contract, and I couldn’t be happier.
My wife and I visited the Cottage last December from America (unfortunately the loss to Bristol City), but we were impressed with everything there, and even then, I knew we had a shot at the PL. Come on 9/12 and COYW!
I’m probably going to be in the minority but I’m not sure about this. Some of his team selections last season were a bit baffling at times. Now we are in with the ‘big boy’s it is going to be really interesting. But as they say, time will tell. I sincerely hope that im proved wrong
Always been a fan of player and man good to see one of the nice guys get success . Football mangerment is tough been wobbles on way, will be some more. All the best Scot COYW
Well Scott Parker has proved me wrong so his new suggested contract is well deserved as long as he learns from his past mistakes.
COYW.
Well done well deserved to
