The Managerial Merry Go Round™

Good, he’ll widen the gap between Boro and Sunderland, manager the cried out for as well.

[54]

[Collage]

Birmingham City have a better/more interesting manager than we do

[sempuki]

Eddie Howe gone.

[Wullie]

Howe gone.

[Ketsbaia]

Big news. Wonder how damaged his reputation is after that relegation.

[Guest]

I think he’ll get the next vacant Premier League job. Palace?

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Nailed on he'll be the first name linked to a vacancy at a non-top four/six club either this summer or next season (whatever comes first).

 

Do they offer betting markets on that? 

[xLiaaamx]

Decent choice for someone trying to pretend to be ambitious. Mostly pretty football, won't be silly wages.

[joeyt]

Looked a broken man most of this season.

[Ketsbaia]

Going to guess he'll go to Villa next, once they inevitably sack Dean Smith.

[Dokko]

That's How, for now.

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

Right decision for all parties, wonder if Bournemouth will go for the Wigan manager who just resigned

[toontownman]

Cometh the time. Cometh the king.

 

 

[olliemort]

Pity,exact manager would love to get a shout with us under new ownership

[bigfella]

Under any normal ownership, I'd like to see him given a chance at a big club like us.

 

But, of course, we aren't a big club anymore, are we?

[xLiaaamx]

Plus GE absolutely hates him. Win.

[jdckelly]

Honestly not that big a fan of him personally

[Shearergol]

We aren’t a club anymore full stop

[triggs]

Not sure the relegation threatened clubs will be that interested in him personally. Don't think that's his kind of job

[Wullie]

Criticism of Howe really irks me like.

 

Bournemouth have spent 10 seasons in their entire history above the 3rd tier of English football - seven of them under Howe. They are a League 1/League 2 club and always have been. He took over when they were bottom of the Football League on -17 points and took them to the Premier League. There's never been a job like that done in my lifetime, it is astonishing.

 

Like, you might not want him in charge of Newcastle, or think he's good enough to take a bigger job, that's all fine, whatever. But to say some of the stuff I see written about him, that he's a bog average manager who's done an average job, just fuck off. This attitude that pervades English football that you're basically not worth your salary unless you can conquer the Premier League is awful.

I think Howe is a quality manager.

 

What ultimatley let Bournemouth down is their player recruitment.

 

They have spent some decent amount on players but none have really worked out. They seem to take massive risks on young players at other top clubs that might become something e.g. Jordan Ibe and Solanke. Only time it kind of paid off was with Ake. Considering the money that has been available to them, still using the likes of Gosling we got rid of eons ago is pretty crazy.

 

I think Howe isn't too strong i the recruitment area and so just needed a team that could get him better value, particularly from overseas.

 

I would have him over Bruce in a heartbeat in our current setup as he would get far more out of the players we end up getting in even as things currently are.

Completely agree. They were stitched up well by Liverpool, fleecing them for talent that simple never performed.

 

Howe would be perfect for us given he wouldn't have a say in transfers.. I mean he wouldn't get transfers either but could have a few loans.

 

Maybe he will still be available when Bruce gets sacked for us being bottom near the end of 2020?

Agreed, and Ake was a loan the first season as opposed to the others mentioned. Would be interesting to see what he can do with a team of better players than he had at disposal at b'mouth.
