'Survival is key in first Premier League season'

What does success look like for Scotty Parker next year in the Premier League? If he survives the first season, it's a brilliant season. Survival is key.

You only have to look at clubs that are promoted; they usually go straight back down.

Celebrations quickly turn into a survival campaign. That's how you build a club. That's what Sean Dyche did. Stay in the Premier League the first year and build from there.

I hope he [Parker] is backed in the transfer market in terms of recruitment and given the money that he deserves because he is a fine, fine young manager.
