Fulham boss Scott Parker has hit out at the Premier League and said it is “scandalous” that Fulham have been forced to play Tottenham on Wednesday night at such short notice.
Parker has revealed Fulham first heard about the potential fixture reshuffle on Saturday afternoon and that the club were then told at 9.30am on Monday that they would be playing Spurs.
“It is scandalous,” said Parker. “It is not acceptable. It is madness. I sit here angry because I do not think it is right. It is wrong. I am disappointed and angry. I do not think it is right for numerous reasons.”
Tottenham were originally due to have played Aston Villa on Wednesday but the Midlands club have suffered a Covid-19 outbreak.
