Fulham boss Scott Parker is upset with football chief Tony Khan apologising to fans after defeat to Aston Villa.

The result has left newly-promoted Fulham rock bottom of the Premier League after just three games, and the young manager is unhappy with the owner's decision to air his thoughts in public.

He said on Tuesday: "It's not something I agree with it, it's not something that is helpful.

"The one thing I'm disappointed with is that he apologised for the performance. The other bits, it is what it is."

Parker would not be draw on transfers with Fulham facing a race against time to add to their squad before the window closes next Monday.

He added: "We were in the market since Wembley. The people in the club are working their hardest. Hopefully we can get some help."
