A club like that are always going to go down again at some point. Let’s not forget they were a broken goal line technology away from sending Aston Villa down that season as well.

Instilling an inferiority complex about every team being bigger and better than us, and fighting against them to form a team ethic isn’t going to work here.

He kept a team in the Premier League for 5 seasons, a club who had never in their history been above Division 2/League 1 before he joined I don't particularly want Howe but give the bloke some credit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) £200m Howe spent to keep Bournemouth in the PL. no idea how he managed it. Fair play. For balance he brought in £70m in that time. Edited October 19, 2021 by Dokko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what circa £40 million season on average? I agree he made some awful buys, but overall he did a fair job. I don't think he'll be in contention so we don't need to worry about it.

nbthree3 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 So many teams gamble promotion in the Championship and fail like Derby, Villa almost went bankrupt because of it, QPR overspent and haven't challenged until quite recently, Sheffield Wednesday were one final away. Would be happy with Howe here, he's an improvement on what we have and can have a tactics discussion to show his knowledge of the sport Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll be in contention so we don't need to worry about it. hopefully not but I’d just like to add of the hidden cost of wages isn’t on display here. I doubt their few k of fans covered the wages of all these signings. Bournemouth grew substantially as they had financial backing, not down to savvy management. They lasted longer in the prem for the same reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
