Scott Parker has left Fulham after more than two seasons in charge with the West London club, and has completed a move to AFC Bournemouth. It leaves recently-relegated Fulham with the task of finding a new manager. Jamie O’Hara has a suggestion, urging Fulham to go for Jonathan Woodgate.

Parker, 40, impressed in his role as Fulham gaffer. Getting the Londoners promoted during his first proper season in charge, he oversaw a play-off final win at Wembley without any fans. An influx of new players eventually proved to be Fulham’s detriment last summer – many loanees coming in.

Fulham failed to stay in the Premier League – and Parker was even linked with Tottenham. They have joined West Brom and Sheffield United in suffering relegation. Now, they are also looking for a new manager after Parker chose to join Bournemouth. O’Hara has suggested Woodgate.

Is Woodgate the man to take Fulham forward – after O’Hara claim?

In his first spell at Middlesbrough, Woodgate really struggled. His side suffered numerous injuries and he was given nothing to work with. Ultimately, despite an up-turn in form here and there, he struggled to cope in what was a near-impossible job to get right.

It was better at Bournemouth. He guided the Cherries into the last six and after a 1-0 win in the first leg of the play-off semi-finals, Woodgate might have been dreaming of becoming a Premier League manager. Now, he remains without a club. Fulham could do a lot worse.
