LONDON (AP) — Fulham manager Scott Parker has criticized the club’s American owner for going on social media to apologize for the team’s display in its third straight loss to open the Premier League season.
Minutes after the final whistle of Fulham’s 3-0 loss to Aston Villa on Monday, Tony Khan wrote in successive tweets that he was sorry about the performance of Parker’s team and promised “better efforts” in future games.
“People have the platform. You own a football club, you can decide how you want to communicate or send a message out,” Parker said. “It’s not something I agree with, it’s not helpful from that sense, but like I said that’s down to the owner and how he sees it.
