Same at Everton and West Ham, albeit to a lesser extent with the latter They're on their third manager of the season - sacking the manager before the last one (keep up) had a negative effect.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,655 Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Certainly not sorry to see FFP cheats Bournemouth in the predicament they are....knew exactly what they were doing when promoted a few seasons back and then given a £7m slap on the wrist. ...spending £20m + on players when being allowed to play in the Premier League in a 12,000 seater stadium The premier league has a habit of catching up with these small clubs , who overspend and reliant on one individual rich benefactor, i.e Wigan, Fulham.....if they go down, might be a while before theyre seen at this level again #FairyTale Edited January 12, 2020 by GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,500 Posted January 12, 2020 20 minutes ago, ricardo said: There's nothing negative about it. The stats don't lie after 22 games. We have given it a go with what we had and have fallen short. There is no shame in that. I listened to what Souness said about Bournemouth at halftime. They have conceded 298 goals in four and a half seasons. You eventually go down if you can't defend better than that. It's why Sheffield Utd are going to survive and we aren't, despite us being easier on the eye. Painful for those of us who like to see the flowing stuff but it's a significant fact in our impending relegation never the less. But will they last in the prem longer than Bournemouth have?
