NickG Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 Eddie Howe has texted solent to say he is making a decision tonight. It appears that the decision was whether to stay or go to Charlton - however they understant the previously rejected Palace have come back with another offer. What do you think this decision will mean for us? I feel if he departs Bournemouth they will drop away. He may have positive impact on Charlton so can't help thinking him going to palace would be best news for us tonight. Leaving B'mth trying to find new manager and asst with little money and Charlton looking for a 2nd choice.
Raging Bull Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 Agree, however Charlton possibly lack consistency and confidence if their performance against Swindon is anything to go by, Howes a good manager however and could quite easily turn that around. He is though a boyhood Palace fan so fingers crossed he goes there.
beatlesaint Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 I think if he leaves Bournemouth they will drop away. There is no guarantee if he goes to Charlton he will have the same success he has had at Dean Court, certainly not immediately anyway. Persoanlly I dont think he will leave them, not sure he has the bottle to leave nice safe little Bournemouth where he has probably got a job for life.
georgeweahscousin Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 There is no guarantee he will be as good at another club. Hopefully he goes to Charlton makes no major impact on their form and Bournemouth fall away too!
NickG Posted 10 January, 2011 Author Posted 10 January, 2011 didn't know he was palace fan. he has done well with bournemouth but was strange (admittedly hard) circumstances and was central to their seige mentality - may take a while at another club where he is not known. Does he leave when he is in demand, or stay where safe and not get another opportunity that isn't too far away. Not likely to get much better offer in south than those two

georgeweahscousin Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 Thought he was a life long Bournemouth fan? He is from Dorset, so makes more sense!
sammysaint Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 Done a good job does he stay and turn them into a yo yo club between the championship and league one which i feel he has the potential to do there or does he move to a club where there on a fall and hes not under major pressure to do anything other then give it a go at keeping them in the championship with no money i think he will go if he is ambitious and stay if he wants to be a bmouth legend.

I'm sure he grew up near Selhurst Park
Scudamore Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 I think if he leaves Bournemouth they will drop away. There is no guarantee if he goes to Charlton he will have the same success he has had at Dean Court, certainly not immediately anyway. Persoanlly I dont think he will leave them, not sure he has the bottle to leave nice safe little Bournemouth where he has probably got a job for life. Football manager and a job for life aren't two things I'd generally put together. Still if I were him I'd hold out til the end of the season. He's got a chance at back to back promotions.
beatlesaint Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 He is from Dorset, so makes more sense! he is yeah, was born in Verwood and played boys football for Parley Sports near Bournemouth.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 He won't go to Palace. They told Steve C that they expected consolidation this year and promotion next but no money. Not surprisingly Steve C declined the job and if Howe has any sense he will pick Charlton. However I don't reckon they are that much a better option. He's a good manager and I would not have been disappointed to have seen him here. H emight be better off staying where he is and chosing a club that don't have Palace or Charlton's problems.
Raging Bull Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 he is yeah, was born in Verwood and played boys football for Parley Sports near Bournemouth. Fair enough I must have got it wrong, could have sworn sky reported him as a Palace fan when he was first linked.
beatlesaint Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 Fair enough I must have got it wrong, could have sworn sky reported him as a Palace fan when he was first linked. Well that bit could well be right, you dont have to support your local team as most of us out of town glory hunting Saints fans can testify to

Yeah totally agree. I hope he stays at Bournemouth. Despite their fans, and Eddies Howe's recent retardedness I still have a soft spot for them.
Mr Saints Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 If he has any ambition at all he will turn down Charlton and Palace and wait for a chance at Ipswich or Burnley. Palace and Charlton are about as well off as Bmuff.
Colinjb Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 If he has any ambition at all he will turn down Charlton and Palace and wait for a chance at Ipswich or Burnley. Palace and Charlton are about as well off as Bmuff. Paul Jewell would be a bit shocked by that i'm sure.
Micky Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 I think he will stay - he's doing well this season and there will be no end of offers on the 'Manager Merry Go Round' at the start of next season should he keep the Cherries there or there abouts this season. He's obviously 'torn' at the moment and unsure, if he was going to go, I think that he would have made his decission by now.
Mr Saints Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 Paul Jewell would be a bit shocked by that i'm sure. Didn't see that, terrible appointment.
L1Minus10 Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 Yeah totally agree. I hope he stays at Bournemouth. Despite their fans, and Eddies Howe's recent retardedness I still have a soft spot for them. I agree with this. he'd be mad to go to one of those. I know he'll get moer cash to spend and more cash for himself but he'd probably be sacked within a year. what's the rush, stay at Bournemouth - it's not as if he's old and Charlton are his last shot at the dream.
docker-p Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 He should stay where he is. The Bournemouth fans love him and have no expectations. Leave for another club and the pressure will be on; and performing under pressure is a whole new ball game.
Thedelldays Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 Sayin he should not go was probably like scunny fans saying Nigel should not join us.. Somehow, despite stupid predictions.. Can't see Nigel being sacked any time soon
Liquidshokk Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Sayin he should not go was probably like scunny fans saying Nigel should not join us.. Somehow, despite stupid predictions.. Can't see Nigel being sacked any time soon In Adkins latest interview on player he said the words "if im still here for the Manchester united game........" when talking about missed opportunity of playing man u with scunny. Does he know something ;-) ;-)

NickG Posted 11 January, 2011 Author Posted 11 January, 2011 Bournemouth players called to a meeting at 11 believed to be for Howe's departure. Decision still not made late last nigh but solent understand the decision is where to go not if to go. Steve Fletcher to be caretaker manager, Burnley also still in reckoning
Whitey Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 If he does decide to stay I think it could give them such a boost they might be right up there all season, so I hope he does go really!

Decision still not made late last nigh but solent understand the decision is where to go not if to go. Steve Fletcher to be caretaker manager, Burnley also still in reckoning They have cancelled training too. Haha, he's OFF!
OldNick Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 the club need the money and he must have ambition to prove himself at a bigger club. They still have an embargo FFS. He can only do so much, and so far he has done an incredible job. His win ratio must be good as well
Joey-deacons-left-nut Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 He should stay at Bournemouth for a few more seasons... he's only in his early 30's for christs's sake! He's got 30 years ahead of him, take it slow, get it right
Saint Fan CaM Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Sky are reporting he's almost certainly off to Charlton. I think its a big risk for him - this could mess up Bumfluff and Charltons promotion push to a degree - i.e. it could dent their chances of auto spots - which can only be a good thing for us. I just cannot see him doing the same job at Charlton myself.
Gemmel Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Surprised so many think he should stay. He has without question peaked at second in the league. There can be no better time for him (Personally) to walk away. That's the way football is these days, his stock is the highest, it is ever going to get with Bournemouth right here right now. A decent contract with Charlton or Palace and he is financially secure for the rest of his life.
Wadge Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Is this the Eddie Howe that supposedly turned us down, but would then go to Charlton or Palace????
Colinjb Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Is this the Eddie Howe that supposedly turned us down, but would then go to Charlton or Palace???? In the mean time they sold their 'star player' McQoid.... And they still cannot bring a replacement in. He now realises he cannot progress that side any further.

Aren't they both broke? wouldn't have thought the contract would be that good, although probably better than bompey are paying him.
Colinjb Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Aren't they both broke? wouldn't have thought the contract would be that good, although probably better than bompey are paying him. It's all relative. A broke club on their scale will still pay him a couple of grand a week. Manage that properly and he will have better financial security then he has ever known since leaving the Skates as a player.

Colinjb Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Thats fair enough but secure for life? If he doesn't succeed and gets paid off..... yes.

Griffo Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Palace are fine financially having been taken over by CPFC2010.
niceandfriendly Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Palace are fine financially having been taken over by CPFC2010. Can't believe they couldn't think of a better name than that.
Gemmel Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Can't believe they couldn't think of a better name than that. Don't underestimate Howes status in the game at the moment (And why we quite rightly interviewed him) 99% of the well known names have never acheived what he has in such a short space of time. For a club like charlton, they get a young fresh, innovative manager who with all the restraints, of a transfer embargo, having his best players sold, gained promotion and now sits second in the league. I would much rtaher have howe then any one of the number of washed up drunks that sit on the managerial merry go round.
Whitey Grandad Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Can't believe they couldn't think of a better name than that. What, 'Crystal Palace Football Club 2010'? (If that's what it stands for).
niceandfriendly Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 What, 'Crystal Palace Football Club 2010'? (If that's what it stands for). Yes, that. I'm right in thinking that this CPFC2010 is a consortium right?
MarkSFC Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Im glad he's not with us and I actually hope for Bournemouth fans' sake he goes. Any manager who publically plays himself up and down for other jobs has too much of an ego. I think he believes he is better than he is. He showed in his playing career that although he was good he played beneath himself and never took the risk. Mind you I'm not entirely sure he was given a great oppportunity although a Bournemouth supporting mate of mine told me years ago that he turned down "a preety big move" for him. I dont think he;s go the bottle to move and will stay in his comfort zone at Bournemouth. Hopefully for Bournemouth sake he will move because I think they will grow to dislike him......!!! And if he does move now they will struggle with Fletcher in charge or someone else very new to management!
labibs Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 You really think Bornemouth will be better off without Howe? If he does go, then surely they will fall away. A bit like us when Strachan left, or Burnley once Coyle jumped ship. They may still challenge for the play-offs, but I wouldn't back them. If he does go to Charlton, will he be able to turn them around quickly enough to be a real force this season? I hope not! Be interesting to see if he goes back to Bornemouth for any players.
warsash saint Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 So it appears Howe is now staying (well until a better offer turns up!!)
Thedelldays Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Howe is up his own arse.. Just look how he claimed he turned us down.. And now how he is publicly tormented about what to do.. ****
OldNick Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 So it appears Howe is now staying (well until a better offer turns up!!) really?
