cambridgeshire canary 6,718 Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) If he was the one who chose all the awful players (and not bournmouths board or coaches) they signed then don't even joke about him coming here seriously though, feel this is it for Bournmouth. He was the one who took them there, Mr.Bournemouth himself. Freefall incoming? Back down to Leauge two?

Bill 1,788 Posted August 1, 2020 Because as dim as they are they still imagine him as some kind of messiah, rather than the front man for a load of 'dodgy' money from a dodgy russkie..... with no hint of money laundering through high value transfers.... no, not at all absolutely not definitely 😏 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 1,561 Posted August 1, 2020 Bournemouth and Watford were both promoted at the end of the 2014/15 season. Bournemouth finished 1 point ahead of Watford. They’ve both been relegated at the end of the 2019/20 season. They were level on points. Over the 5 seasons, Bournemouth won 1 more point than Watford. Over the 5 seasons, Bournemouth have had 1 manager and Watford have had 6. Watford are routinely criticised for their policy of rotating managers. Bournemouth are the press darlings.

Howe had an obligation to keep them in the Prem so had expensive acquisitions through the seasons. He has to carry the blame for that, but his football nous for the seasons when they went up and stayed up should not be ignored. Example - he used Andrew Surman for a majority of the 5 seasons in the Prem - none of our managers could get anything out of him (Surman). With the predicament they are in, they are surely better off with someone who knows the club and it's players than someone whose out to make a buck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
