Bournemouth have sacked head coach Scott Parker just four games into the new season as owner Maxim Demin called for "respect for one another" at the club.

The Cherries were thrashed 9-0 at Liverpool on Saturday, equalling the record Premier League defeat.

Former England international Parker had led Bournemouth back to the top flight having been appointed at the Vitality Stadium in June 2021 and they opened the current campaign with a 2-0 home win over Aston Villa.

A 4-0 loss at champions Manchester City was followed by a 3-0 reverse to Arsenal before they were hammered at Anfield, with Parker offering a downbeat prediction for the remainder of the season in the aftermath of such a humbling defeat.

"I can see some more [heavy losses]," he said during his post-match press conference. "We need to make a decision. I have been clear how this season could look for us and I stick by that.

"We need to make a decision and try and help this young group who at times are struggling for air. Every one of us needs to make that decision. We have been trying to get more quality in and there are a million reasons why [they have not].

"I feel sorry for the fans. I feel sorry for the players because we are ill-equipped at this level. This does not shine a light for me."

The wording of the short Bournemouth statement announcing his departure seemingly alludes to Parker's beliefs being behind the sacking, as opposed to three successive defeats.
