Parker slams ‘outrageous’ decision to rearrange Fulham match

Tottenham was set up to play Aston Rental property on Wednesday however the match was held off on Monday at the demand of Rental property since 10 of its gamers evaluated favorable for the coronavirus recently.
The Premier League revealed at the same time that Tottenham would rather play Fulham on the very same night, with their match at first set up for Dec. 30 having actually been held off following a coronavirus break out in the Fulham team.
Parker stated the possibility his group, which remains in 3rd-to-last location in the league, might handle Tottenham on Wednesday was raised over the weekend however that the last decision was not passed on to the club up until Monday early morning.
“I’m normally always the last one to moan or whine about anything because I realize it’s tough out there and this is the way it is, but what’s happened to us (is unfair),” Parker stated. “To confirm a Premier League game, as well – this is the Premier League, one of the best leagues in the world – to confirm that at 9:30 a.m. on Monday morning is scandalous really, to be honest with you. It’s not about the fixture. The fixture is fine. I accept that we have to play. But it’s the notice.”
Fulham played Queens Park Rangers in the FA Cup on Saturday – the match went to additional time, with Fulham winning 2-0 – and Parker stated his choices for that video game may have altered if the Tottenham video game had actually currently been validated. He stated he may likewise have fine-tuned his practice schedule.
“Working our players over the weekend, thinking that you’ve got six or seven days until your next fixture for them to get up to speed or to work on (things), that’s quickly changed (on) Monday morning,” Parker stated, “and, for me, it’s madness really.”
Parker highly disagreed with remarks made by Tottenham supervisor Jose Mourinho that the greatest effect was video games being held off which the late notification was not unjust since the decision to reschedule the Dec. 30 match was just made a couple of hours prior to kickoff.
“Regarding being told the game is called off 48 hours before or two hours before, it’s really an irrelevance,” Parker stated. “It’s a dissatisfaction that you’ve had actually a video game aborted and I comprehend that.
“But to have a game called on with 48 hours’ notice is (unfair). Listen, I don’t want to get into that regarding Jose but I think he’ll know too well that you plan structures, you plan physical elements for players. Tottenham knew they had this fixture in, Jose’s team selection at the weekend (against eighth-division club Marine) suggested that. He’s probably planned for the next however many games he’s got and he’s got a lot of games, granted.”
“Probably not,” he said. “For me this is not acceptable.”
The request to the Premier League from Villa had to be received and signed off before Fulham could be contacted. Confirmation was only possible on Monday once all the clubs and broadcasters affected by the rescheduling had been consulted.
Fulham was a signatory in September to a set of guiding principles which are contained within the league’s handbook. One of these states: “Clubs must accept changes to normal conditions and schedules in order to ensure the completion of the competition.”
