Parker not focused on Fulham future

Scott Parker is not focused on his Fulham future following the club's relegation to the Championship.

Parker became caretaker manager in February but was unable to prevent the Cottagers from dropping down.

The former midfielder was asked whether he has sat down with the club's owner Shahid Khan to discuss his future: "I'm in constant discussion with the owner about how we can improve things and how the club can improve."

"I take this role with a view of it in the long term whether I'm the manager here next year or not. That's the person I am, that's the way it's going to be.

"Of course I can give over all of my ideas over the course of the next five games, to have that constant dialogue which I want to do because I want to help.

"But I have certainly not been speaking on the level of 'am I your guy?'. That's because I'm just focusing on the team and the football club and trying to improve us.

"It's something which is ultimately down to the ownership in terms of who they think is the right person to lead this football club.

"I can't sit here and say it needs to be here, it needs to be there. It's irrelevant to me."
