Former West Ham goalkeeper Rob Green believes Scott Parker is the perfect fit to manage the club, citing his proven track record of promoting teams from the Championship. Parker has led Fulham, Bournemouth, and Burnley to promotion in his managerial career. Green, a three-time former club player of the year at West Ham, thinks Parker's no-nonsense approach would be effective in getting the team promoted. He also praises the quality of the current squad, saying that with Parker at the helm, they should be able to secure automatic promotion. The club is currently eighth in the Championship, six points behind leaders Middlesbrough, and are looking for their fourth permanent manager since David Moyes left in May 2024. Green's endorsement comes as the club is searching for a new manager after sacking Nuno Espirito Santo following a disappointing start to the season.
