First few pages there are calls of Conte and Jose, then Bruce is gone and eventually for a few days everyone knows it will be Emery, then quite a bit of disappointment and writing off of Howe. It’s a mad old game like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 5 hours ago, TheBrownBottle said: Well, yes I am saying otherwise - do you think that a 40m loss at a football club is the result of paying tea ladies and stewards too much? Bournemouth's wage bill was huge for the time - over 30m - Howe didn't spend much at all on transfers. Again, that doesn't detract from the achievement - just as spending 90m in January doesn't detract from the phenomenal job he's done at NUFC. The always excellent Swiss Ramble explains it far better than I can: https://swissramble.blogspot.com/2016/05/bournemouth-welcome-to-pleasuredome.html Good read that. Me not being the brightest I'm taking from those figures that their, varnigh, £40m losses INCLUDED the £7m fine. Reminds me of being a reckless financial knacker in my youth when I was barrasic, got letters from the bank manager ( yes kids, actual fucking letters) telling me I was being fined £25 for going over my overdraft AND £15 admin costs for them sending a letter ?? Kick a man while he's down like ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 40m did include the fine - but 30m wages against 12m turnover - and the biggest loss in the division by a mile - tells you that they gambled.

The College Dropout Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 7 minutes ago, gazza ladra said: That can't be right. What kind of fool would put Patrick Vieira in their top ten? He's arguably been a top 10 performer. Top 12 at worst - literally. 5 is a bit high. But midtable safety and a FA cup semi-final was a good season. At the start of the season people had Vieira first to be sacked and Palace relegated and neither look remotely like happening. Eddie's done well.

gazza ladra Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I was being facetious. I was pilliored on here for ranking Vieira in my top ten earlier this year. Yes, I agree fifth is too high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Think Moyes, Conte, and Frank should be slightly higher and Hassenhutl should be lower, but it's fair enough overall I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
