I cannot provide a full summary of that specific article because the search results only include the headline and a brief descriptor from that link, not the complete article content[6]. However, I can provide context based on the related information in the search results: Scott Parker faces significant job security concerns at Burnley following their poor Premier League form. According to reports from December 16, 2025, Parker could be sacked if Burnley fail to win a game between that date and the new year[1][3]. The club has dropped to six points from safety after a 3-2 loss to Fulham, with seven consecutive Premier League defeats leaving them at serious relegation risk[5]. Given this instability in Burnley's managerial position, Gary O'Neil—a former Bolton midfielder—has emerged as the favorite candidate to replace Parker if the club decides to make a managerial change[6]. This reflects Burnley's contingency planning as they battle to avoid relegation.
