Scott Parker believes he left Fulham in a good place.

Former England midfielder Parker recently left the Cottagers for Bournemouth.

Speaking at his first press conference since taking charge at Bournemouth, Parker said: "I had a fantastic time at Fulham, I'm very very proud to lead the club, I have nothing but admiration.

"What I can say is every single day I went into that football club as a player or as a coach, I literally gave every bit of me to the club to try and be successful.

I'd like to think I did that really. I know I leave the football club in a good place. I understand that people may point the finger and say "you got relegated last year" but like I keep saying, there's something bigger and there's something deeper than just winning a league or a relegation really.

"When you're at a football club, the heart and soul of it is bigger than a win or a loss, so I'd like to think I leave the football club in a good place.

"I couldn't tell you what reception I would get, but what I do know is that I'm immensely proud of being the manager there and what I did there."
