Former England midfielder sacked from his second managerial post after just three points from twelve

Sadly not Steven Gerrard but Scott Parker whose Premier League career at Bournemouth reads thus:

• Beat Villa with ease on the opening day of the 2022-23 campaign.

• Lose 0-4 to Manchester City, the reigning champions

• Lose 0-3 to top of the table Arsenal.

• Win through against lower league opposition in the EFL Cup.

• Lose 0-9 to Liverpool, runners up in 2021-22 by one point.

Sacked.

By contrast Gerrard’s record reads:

• Lose 0-2 to Bournemouth, fresh out of the second tier.

• Beat Everton, 16th in the Premier League in 2021-22 thanks to a last ditch tackle.

• Lose to Crystal Palace, 12th in the Premier League in 2021-22

• Win through against lower league opposition in the EFL Cup.

• Lose to bottom club West Ham, yet to pick up a point or score a goal this season.

Still in post.
