Fulham boss Parker inspired by Howe

Fulham boss Scott Parker admits he draws inspiration from Bournemouth counterpart Eddie Howe.

Parker oversaw a second consecutive win against the Cherries on Saturday.

"I want to see him to get those little nuggets of information," he had after being spotted in conversation with Howe.

"As a young player you look up to people and it is the same now I am starting out as a manager - Eddie is a guy I look at. He is English, he has been given an opportunity and given time we are seeing what a good manager he is."

Howe also said: "I think Scott will do a great job.

"They had an incredibly tough fixture list when he came in and it seems he has really good ideas and I think the players are playing for him, so he has a bright future ahead of him."
