'Parker is an excellent manager - he needs support'

We asked for your views on whether Scott Parker is to blame for Burnley's poor form or if he is doing his best with the resources at his disposal.

Here are some of your comments:

Tom: Parker is doing a decent job given the resources he has. Some of his calls have been a bit dodgy, but overall, the main issue is the quality of this squad. A club like ours doesn't have the financial firepower to build a squad that can properly compete at this level. I think Parker is the right man still and if anyone will keep us up, he will. He also seems to be a genuinely good guy and he deserves the chance.

Bob: I had reservations when Scott Parker was appointed. He's done nothing to change my mind! However replacing him alone is not going to solve all our problems, we need to strengthen the squad (especially a quality striker) and take the game to the opposition more.

Andrew: Stick with Scott Parker. There is obviously no dressing room disharmony at the moment. Nothing to be gained at all.

David: Let's be realistic. Staying up is like winning the league for a club of our resources. Don't do a Sean Dyche again and get rid of an excellent manager. Parker is an excellent manager, he needs support, as do the players in the best league in the world. There are no easy games.

Tom: Sacking the manager after 13 games is madness. I don't know what people want. Dyche kept us in the Premier League for six seasons without any financial backing and got sacked for his troubles. Why didn't we just give him some money to spend? Fans are too fickle and to be honest, we'll never be an established Premier League club.

Richard: He is the best manager since Sean Dyche - who they should never have sacked.
