Fulham: Scott Parker 'disappointed' by Tony Khan apology after loss
Last updated on .From the section Fulham
Fulham boss Scott Parker says vice-chairman Tony Khan's Twitter apology for the performance in Monday's 3-0 defeat by Aston Villa was "disappointing" and "not helpful".
Following the home defeat, Khan promised to sign new players before the transfer window closes on 5 October.
"It's not something I agree with but it's how he sees it," said Parker.
"The thing I'm actually disappointed with, is how he's apologising for the performance. He shouldn't have."
The Cottagers have lost their three opening league games - conceding 10 goals.
Fulham, who were promoted via the play-offs, have only brought in two new first-team players on permanent deals.
Full-backs Antonee Robinson and Kenny Tete were the permanent summer arrivals in Scott Parker's squad against Villa, while goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, who started on Monday, was one of three loan signings.
Fulham's central defenders have been error-prone in their opening three games - only West Brom, coincidentally this season, have ever conceded more in the opening three games of a Premier League season.
However, Parker says his players "worked tirelessly from the first minute to the 95th".
"The performance last night was a good performance which was a group of players who have done everything they can," he added.
"From 3-0 down they were still trying work as much as they can to try and get us back in the game and for that I don't agree with him."

If results continue like they are for Fulham, Parker will be out by November.
But Fulham were atrocious .

Tony Khan knows as much about Football as you could write on the back of a postage stamp.
It’s worse because in the first half Fulham were indeed dreadful so the last thing you want is your boss going over your head and throwing you publicly under the Bus on social media.
But no doubt Tony will claim it’s fake news.
