Reported that he turned down Wales

Look out for a spending spree then.

Thought someone on here said Bellamy got the Burnley job on a 3 year contract? That’s why he turned the Wales job down, less money (because he’s lost a lot of his money) and only a 2 year contract. Or well never mind try again.

This is the thing, we are given information in good faith, but many times things change

Burnley are closing in on the appointment of former England midfielder Scott Parker as their new manager.
Parker, 43, has been out of work since March 2023, having been sacked by Belgian club Club Bruges after winning only two of his 12 games in charge.
After leading Fulham and Bournemouth from the Championship into the Premier League, Parker will be aiming to do the same with the Clarets.
BBC Sport understands Parker held a second round of talks with Burnley officials this week and has emerged as the preferred candidate, though a deal has yet to be officially signed.
Burnley also held talks with former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, as well as ex-England midfielder Frank Lampard.
Craig Bellamy was named acting head coach in May following the departure of Vincent Kompany to Bayern Munich.
Should Parker be appointed, ex-Wales international Bellamy is likely to stay at the club in a coaching capacity, along with new assistant Henrik Jensen, coach Mike Jackson and set-piece coach Eliot Tybebo.

11 posts in 15 years and 10 of them a mix of negativity and/or ‘pops’ at Forever Blue…

As one might say, “Hmmmmm….!”

The Clarets have been on the lookout for a replacement for Vincent Kompany after the Man City legend left for Bayern Munich and it looks like the 43-year-old will take the job at Turf Moor.

Sky Sports report that Parker could be appointed by the end of the week, while The Athletic reveal that he is on course to pip former Mag Craig Bellamy to the job.

Bellamy was Vincent Kompany’s assistant at Burnley and had held talks about the job along with former Man Utd striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy, but it seems Parker will get the nod after he was sacked by Club Brugge last year.

This will be Parker’s third stint managing in England after previous spells at Fulham and Bournemouth.
