His post match press conference heavily implied that he hadn’t been backed by the board with transfers. The club are probably trying to operate on a budget, for them it’s far less costly to get relegated than it is to spend the kind of money to remain in the premier league (Fulham and Forest have gone berserk with their spending). Parker knows the longer he stays with them the more his reputation will be damaged with heavy defeats so better to get a pay out now, and the club want a shit housing manager like Dyche
