Last two from me before Saturday Norwood & tuanzebe Davies & fofana

Lookman & Maddison 2+ sot 30/1

Liam Kennedy said apart from all signs he’s had info that Jones was selected by someone else and it was forced upon Bruce

Is that not burnsie

Please tell me your info isn’t from that black cloud account on twitter?

The fact Bruce is following Rafa won’t help. There’s no way Ashley will want to admit he was wrong not to back Rafa and back Bruce instead. He should already be embarsssed and ashamed about spending £40m on Joelinton when Rafa told him Not too.

Kovacic & semedo 36/1 Azpilicueta & dendonker 30/1 All 4 395/1 Luiz & Westwood 17/1 Giroud to score semedo carded 16/1

Again...what exactly in Jones record makes anyone think he's going to improve us? Unless I've missed something I don't see much past a few years of mediocrity at low level. Fair enough if he was 20, but this guy is 50 and isn't exactly a newby to coaching Lots of great assistant coaches that don't make the grade as a manager/head coach. If he can get shit down behind the scenes then great - even if it's getting the players settled and training properly Bournemouth fans don’t seem to rate him as a assistant coach either

If this guy is really being brought in to be the manager it’s a worse appointment than kinnear. At least kinnear was an actual manager. This guy failed in the championship, even Bruce was doing a reasonable job in the championship ffs I’ll never understand Mike Ashley and I’d rather not have to try I know nowt about this guy but I'd rather give a chance to a somewhat progressive coach, even if he turns out shit, than a 90s dinosaur or PL has been. I'm not so sure his Luton spell is a fair assessment. Only in MA world would this be the choice mind. I was exaggerating to make the point how ridiculous it is pinning our hopes on this guy

You have to wonder what the players make of all this. It’s not normal. An assistant coach doesn’t get all this publicity & interviews with the club website, his quotes aren’t your typical assistant coach quotes either

Looks like the number 2 in any ITV detective series Still don't get how this is going to help...this guy hasn't pulled up any trees anywhere he's been, and isn't exactly a 'yoing' up and coming star since he's 50 already, with his last involvement being taking Bournemouth down. Maybe he's brought in to teach players what relegation looks like He didn’t take Bournemouth down

Have we ever made this big a deal about a coach coming in? I don’t remember Steve stone doing welcome to the club interviews. It really is like he’s the new manager

Why is it bollocks? Because they performed a bit better against a newly promoted team, who stood off, sat back on a lead and who are not very good at defending. We still lost and they all still looked thoroughly fed up, clueless on what they're meant to be doing and on the whole, going through the motions. Maybe a bit of professional pride. Also it doesn’t have to every single player wants him gone. Only takes a few. Also ASM probably just happy to be playing again

I’m kinda hoping it’s just a case of Ashley giving Bruce till the end of the transfer window so he doesn’t have to deal with new manager requesting signings Hope slowly fading

No other club would carry on with this clown in charge. Just so depressing

Showing faith in him apparently

Utterly ludicrous this clown is still in a job but not at all surprising

Sigh another defeat and again no sign of him going anywhere

Mon Troy ya tit

Ffs
