READ MORE: Scott Parker sacked by Bournemouth after record 9-0 thumping by Liverpool In terms of their most recent result - Parker is one manager who can't have any complaints about his dismissal until looking at the bigger picture.The former England midfielder left Fulham to take over at a relegated side in the form of the Cherries and guided them back to the Premier League with automatic promotion in his first season.Were Bournemouth right to sack Scott Parker? Give us your thoughts in the comments section below.Having beaten Aston Villa, Bournemouth have only lost to Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, two of which were away from home.Although it might well have been his comments about the ambition at the club that got him the sack, Ralph Hasenhuttl has proved that 9-0 defeats are not always terminal.Tony Adams was dismissed from his role as Portsmouth manager back in 2009 - and informed via phone call while at his son's fifth birthday party.Adams left the club 16th in the table having won just four of his 22 matches in charge and falling out with executive chairman Peter Storrie.Adams told The News of getting the call at his Cotswold home: "I said to Peter: 'I’m not going to drive all the way there for you to tell me directly I haven’t got a job any more'."It’s kind of what I wanted anyway, it was only a matter of time."

Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel share an insane stat ahead of their clash with Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.Neither the Blues nor their manager have ever lost to the Spanish giants across five and six meetings with them, respectively.This will give Chelsea fans confidence that they can overcome Real in the Champions League for a second season running and reach the last four of this year's tournament.The club's met most recently in the semi-final's last season, with eventual winners Chelsea progressing 3-1 on aggregate after a 1-1 away draw and 2-0 victory at home.Those were Chelsea's fourth and fifth meetings with the record 13-time European champions, as they remained unbeaten against Real in competitive meetings.The two sides first met in the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup in May 1971 at the Karaiskakis Stadium in the Greek city of Piraeus.Chelsea lifted the trophy after a 2-1 win in a replay two days after the clubs drew 1-1 after extra time in the initial fixture.Who will win this season's Champions League?

Gus Poyet spots "really strange" contract problem that may prove dangerous for Chelsea
Chelsea in the future with three defenders out of contract in the summer.Poyet suggested the "strange problem" is why Thomas Tuchel's side aren't competing with Manchester City and Liverpool this season.The Uruguayan said: "I think it's just a problem with time; perhaps that goes some way to explaining why Chelsea aren't up there with Man City and Liverpool."Too many new players have come in...the club now finds itself in a position where three of their main defenders have contracts expiring this summer."That's very strange for a club like Chelsea."Poyet, who was speaking exclusively to Ladbrokes at the launch of its 5-A-Side bet on Chelsea v Newcastle, continued."The problem with that, is that every single player reacts differently when they're in the last few months of their contract and they don't know where they're going to be next season."I'm not saying it's a conscious effort made by players to just stop trying."And I'm not saying every player takes it easy; it's an unconscious thing. What do you think of Poyet's comments? Let us know in the comments section "There were rumours last week that Christensen was sorting a deal with Barcelona."Can you really go and play in the next game, if you've just been negotiating all week with another club?"Currently, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, and César Azpilicueta's contracts are all up in the summer.The three could be joined out of the door by Saul Niguez - whose loan is up - and Charly Musonda, who is also out of contract.
