Given he oversaw their relegation from the Premier League and jumped ship to a Championship rival, perhaps it was not surprising that former Fulham manager Scott Parker struggled to gain access to the west London club's training ground to pick up his belongings.
Parker's move to Bournemouth was confirmed last Monday after weeks of speculation, with Fulham reportedly unhappy after the news leaked.
