Fulham boss Scott Parker addresses Tottenham Hotspur speculations

Speaking in an interview with West London Sport, Fulham manager Scott Parker has responded to the rumours linking him with the Tottenham Hotspur job ahead of the next season.

Tottenham are on the lookout for a new permanent manager following the sacking of Jose Mourinho from the club last month. Former midfielder Ryan Mason has been placed in charge on an interim basis till the end of the season as the hunt for a new full-time boss continues.

A number of names have been linked with the job so far, with Parker being one among them. The former Tottenham midfielder spent a year within the club as an academy coach before moving to Fulham. Having initially been assistant to Claudio Ranieri, the Englishman took over the reins towards the end of the 2018/19 campaign.

Parker could not stop the Cottagers from going down to the Championship that time but did very well to earn promotion in his first full season in-charge. Back in the Premier League though, Fulham seem primed for relegation yet again, but the 40-year-old has earned a lot of plaudits for the work he has done at the club.

Now, the man himself has addressed the rumours of him being linked with a return to Tottenham, this time as a first-team manager, claiming that he does not pay attention to all those speculations.

“You know what, I don’t take a lot of notice of what is said and written. If I listened to half of it, I would go crazy, and not just this speculation – but everything. Every week there will be a different story in the way we play, the way we don’t play, who’s going there, who’s leaving, who’s staying, who’s not happy.”

Parker insisted that he is only focusing on the job at hand currently and will only think about what’s next once the season is over.

While the 40-year-old has managed to impress at Fulham over the past couple of years, he is still very much in his first managerial job and needs more experience before taking the job at a big club like Tottenham. There ought to be better options for Daniel Levy to consider at the moment.
