'Scandalous': Scott Parker furious over Fulham's rearranged Spurs game

- Fulham given two days’ notice of match at Tottenham
- Mourinho on Fulham being upset: ‘Are you serious?’
Scott Parker has said it is scandalous that Fulham were given such short notice of their game against Tottenham being rearranged for Wednesday night. Fulham’s manager made no attempt to contain his anger at the scheduling, calling the Premier League’s decision “blatantly wrong” and dismissing José Mourinho’s complaints about the fixture’s original postponement two weeks ago.
Parker, normally so placid in his media duties, seethed as he laid out the difficulties posed by being given two days’ notice to prepare for the trip to Spurs. The 40-year-old, who said he was only informed of the decision at 9.30am on Monday, questioned whether a bigger side would have been treated in the same way and expressed fears over player welfare.
