Word from horses mouth - no he didnt, because it was never offered to him.

 

It may be the case, it may not Alps, but at least we have a manager now. Not quite the wow factor I was hoping for but good luck to the bloke. I hope he sees out his contract and I hope that he is successful with us.

A chairman of one club says one thing, another say something else - how do we know what is right?

 

Quite. The main thing is now hopefully we can start to look forward again. So long as Nigel doesn't have a massive ego, like a tipple or sh*gging we should be sorted ;)

If he doesn't like sh*gging then he needs sh*gging!

We don't, but I'm sorely inclined to lean towards believing the chairman who maintained a dignified silence throughout the process of recruiting a new manager, over the one who went public with information which, even if true, was of very little interest or benefit to anyone...

I wasn't told by their chairman.

the Bournemouth chairman is a bit of an idiot, all things considered.

 

That is really very unfair. There is no way that said person is a bit of an idiot.

 

Complete idiot maybe, but a bit? No way - that's outrageous.

Did Howe say anything post match on Solent yesterday.

 

They usually give 'Chrerries' four times as much coverage as us and Skates so I'm guessing it cropped up.

 

If anything, they give us Saints far too much coverage. Considering we are below the Cherries by some way, they should be above us in the pecking order in Solent, and only this weekend did they make an attempt to cover AFCB more, after their fans pointed out they were way above SFC.

Cherries fan's/club are working thier butt's off to develop a rivalry. Seem's like we have yet again helped them in their hour of need.

 

Although I'm not falling for it. As long as we finish above them they mean nothing to me. winky thing

lets see if cherrries chairman has the balls to put it on their site that Howe was offered the job! Guessing not, as he was probably lying!

 

Why bother though? What purpose exactly would it achieve, is it of any benefit to either AFC Bournemouth or Southampton?

 

We have kept our manager and you've appointed your latest incumbent.

Below are a variety of Howe's post match comments.

http://www.afcb.co.uk/page/ManagersComments/0,,10324~2151675,00.html

 

If you click this one you can listen to the full solent interview

 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/8967767.stm

 

Basically he backed the comments from Eddie Mitchell, while trying to not comment any further (they are his first comments on the subject).

 

Between your chairman, our chairman and Eddie Howe, Howe is the one I'd side with. But obviously with you not knowing him you'll side with your chairman.

 

Either way thankfully the subject is over.:D

well if he was so happy why go for an interview???? Surely he would have said thanks but no thanks and not bothered to even travel.

Lots of self interest and covering by all sides i suspect

Their fans seem to be ignoring this fact. Eddie is a hero for "turning us down" yet came for an interview.

...... and only one of those chairman is actually in a position to know the truth. The other one is going on hearsay via Howe, and I suspect exaggerrating on the way, to keep his fans happy, rather than them realising that Howe won't be with them for much longer. (Because if he came for interview to saints he'll go for interview elsewhere soon too, and someone will offer him the job... unless of course he starts to fail miserably at bournemouth ;))

There is logic in that , but given that Solent is a media company, what really matters is how many people want to listen. Based on crowd figures, likely Solent audience figures for the 3 local teams would go in order: Saints, Pompey Bournemouth, Weymouth. There's at least as much logic therefore in that being the order of precedence on Solent.

Hmmm. Dignified it definitely was not.

 

The truth is probably somewhere between the two extremes, but who cares now - its history.

Not ignoring this "fact" at all and have in fact discussed the point during the previous pages, see little point in just repeating my previous posts to be honest.

Howe turned down Peterborough while they were in the Championship around this time last year too.

 

If you read his comments from the links above, you'll get a feeling for how much he thinks of AFCB and what the fans think of him too.

 

But as stated before in this thread, AFCB fans are well aware that eventually he will move on when he feels the right offer comes along.

 

They also seem to forget that Mitchell gave us permission to speak to him as well.

 

Personally I think it's healthy that the Chairman and manager are honest! Why shouldn't Howe be aware of interest in him and for all we know that could be a clause in his contract.

the same may be said of your latest kit!

 

Its clear that Cortese was trying shaft Scunny over compensation. (that was made public) Having Interviewed our manager he thought he could bully Scunny presuming he had Eddie Howe to turn to if Scunny didnt play ball...and the other way around. Cortese, I daresay intended to play one club off against the other.

 

Eddie clearly realised what a tosspot setup he was dealing with and hopefully told him so and turned down the offer (which would have come when Scunny stalled)

 

I doubt either Howe or Adkins were offered the job initially...your creep Cortese was trying to bully both clubs into submission and take his pick, Howe forced his hand and made him work for Adkins and the embarrassment that followed.

 

Anyway its settled....Nice to see you all ripping the **** out of your new manager before he even arrived.....hopefully he will royally mess things up for you (although I doubt it as I rate the bloke - shame you dont)

Sounds to me Howe applied for the job, got interviewed, got rejected. If you look at the way the whole thing has now happened and the facts we now have the reason it took so long to appoint adkins was because we could not agree compensation. If you look at Adkins comments in the whole thing he has been pretty open and honest about everything from the start. His chairman obviously was ****ed off at our offer hence his comments. They admitted about the aproach. However down the road it has been a bit more secret. Howe and his chairman who once said they would be totally honest about what happens decided to go into secrecy mode. Why? What do they have to lose by doing what S****horpe did and admit yes there has been an aproach? And then after that say yes he has been interviewed? By not commenting about it to me means they have something to hide. And i would bet the reason for the silence is to protect Howe. He seems like a decent guy to me. But if someone offers you the chance to be a millionaire which he would of probably become managing Saints i doubt very many would turn it down.

It seems pretty clear that Cortese was prepared to pay the going rate but no more. As the offer never came off the table and Eddie or your chairman has never said the job was offered , what is the problem? In the words of Adkins before Eddie had decided the interview was too much, "Saints have behaved impeccably". Now if only a few others could restrain themselves and stop trying to foist their manager in our direction, so much the better.

 

You are wiser in the knowledge Eddie wants to leave, just a question of money and being offered.

Howe went for an interview, the rest of the 'facts' are left to different sides interpretation. If Howe had been offered the job and been first choice, hand on heart do you accept he would have accepted it then?

It is apparent he was second choice and he knew that and so came away licking his wounds. He (and Mitchell) then had to firefight, what a great way to appease your fans by saying he turned the job down.

Perhaps the finances are not so good down at B'mouth again, perhaps the club needed some compensation

Shouldn't you guys be running around Bournemouth with collecting tins trying to raise funds for your Youth Team to be able to afford Goalposts instead of having to trainer tops?

 

How's the rent payments going?

 

Be nice to us, you may need to ground share before too long

 

Oh ok look I'm sorry, didn't mean to worry you but I think you guys have more to worry about than whether you lose Howe to us or someone in a couple of weeks. I'm sure Mitchell will do a great deal for you on compensation like he did with Pittman, getting paid in weekly installments over 5 years or similar
