Midfielder Parker, 28, has just signed a new 4½-year Upton Park contract worth £80,000 a week despite interest from billionaires City last month.
Zola said: “We are all very proud to have kept players like Scott because it means we are doing a good job and they share our belief in where we’re heading.
“It was not a matter of money. If it was just for the money, Scott would have gone to City.
“I’d never go to a team where they could give me a lot of cash but maybe never play me.”
Hats off to Scott for not signing for the douchebags
