Scott Parker has said that he does not 'regret' comments made which led to his Bournemouth sacking just four games into the current campaign.

The Club Brugge boss took Bournemouth up from the Championship last season but made it clear in no uncertain terms how he felt his squad would fare with the step up to the Premier League.

Parker's side won their first game of the campaign, against Aston Villa, before losing their next three, culminating in a 9-0 loss at Anfield. The defeat sparked comments from Parker in which he said his side were 'struggling for air' in the Premier League.
