Dellman Posted 2 August, 2020 Share Posted 2 August, 2020 What makes anyone think Howe wants or needs more management? perhaps TV punditry is more attractive, much less pressure and probably more fun. He deserves a break from management 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Kent Saint Posted 2 August, 2020 Share Posted 2 August, 2020 He seemed to have the world on his shoulders towards the the end of the “season” so a break plus social media moving on means he can come back at a lower level with success hopefully. Better than the manager merry go round we have been used to ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redknapp had been banging on about it for years, so funny how he’s now forgotten. The best thing about their recent success is it eclipse anything Redknapp did and Howe has nicked his Mr Bournemouth tag. Just wish someone would take his mayor of Sandbanks title off him , because as a Poole resident having that cockney twat appear every time the town is mentioned pisses me off. He’ll turn up anywhere, even opened the new toilets in Hamworthy last year. ‘Them new toilets are triffic. People in Hamworthy are having the time of their lives with these. Honestly, I’ve just used them and that’s the best number two I’ve had since Kevin Bond’ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Bates Statue Posted 2 August, 2020 Share Posted 2 August, 2020 I have been guilty of only noting Eddie Howe's failings in the transfer market but reading the above twitter thread suggests that perhaps he isn't that bad after all. Even Man City have probably had to spend the best part of a billion on their defenders in the last five years. It is odd in that previously proven players like Begovic and Defoe didn't work out, but for others like Ibe, Clyne, Wilshere, they were already shown to be struggling at their previous clubs so there was obviously a risk to take them on in the first place. To me it looked like he would have been fine to deliver at Championship level as he clearly has an eye for a bargain... an actual wheeler-dealer unlike another sensitive local resident. Maybe if he doesn't turn up at Palace, perhaps he is an outside bet for a Director of Football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddeer Posted 2 August, 2020 Share Posted 2 August, 2020 Howe made the mistake of surrounding himself with mates as coaching staff rather than opt for people with talent. Eventually that caught up with him and Bmuff became stale and lacking in any new ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol Campbell is available and ticks a lot of boxes Chris Houghton would probably get them back up I n a couple Of seasons David James wants to get into management or Les Ferdinand might fancy it after coaching and director of football at QPR I see what you’re doing here.

CB Fry Posted 2 August, 2020 Share Posted 2 August, 2020 Not going to happen but Gerrard walking out of Ibrox to go to second tier Bournemouth would be absolutely hilarious, just for the jock meltdown. The green side couldn't handle the idea that Leicester was a bigger draw than Glasgow so would love to see this one play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking to Bournemouth supporters locally there has always been the general feeling that Eddie has his favourites and if you fall out with him then God help you. Didn’t Boruc suffer because he flew to Glasgow to watch his team play Rangers in the Champions League? His treatment of Defoe was a mystery. He often had him on the bench and was reluctant to play him which given he was a natural goal poacher was crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersonic Posted 2 August, 2020 Share Posted 2 August, 2020 Stinks of him not wanting to be there, unless he wants to keep his astronomical wages. Now means they won't get any compensation when he joins someone else. Did well to get them up, but always found it weird he's never been properly linked to a better job. He's well known in the football circles for being a pretty poor man manager which maybe has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St_Tel49 Posted 2 August, 2020 Share Posted 2 August, 2020 Any manager that takes a club like Bournemouth from minus points in league two to 5 years in the Premiership is entitled to respect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard's the new flavour of the month, getting linked with all vacant jobs. Bristol City linked for a couple of weeks before journos moved on.

Saint-Armstrong Posted 8 August, 2020 Share Posted 8 August, 2020 So much for going in a new direction. All the same faces, still an old boys club of Eddie's mates. Strikes me as an appointment from a club who aren't really sure what they want. I'm sure Tindall will be cheaper than getting a manager with any experience though. Won't finish the season is my prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did too. I wander if Howe wants time out of the game and Tindall didn't want to hang around. Either way, the appointment feels to be a cheap and unambitious choice.

Fatboy40 Posted 8 August, 2020 Share Posted 8 August, 2020 A dirt cheap appointment so that Demin doesn't need to dip into the Ake and parachute money, most of which will he'll siphon off in some way or other. I'd feel sorry for Bournemouth, we've been there as well, but their fans have such huge chips on their shoulders / talk shit about Saints so much.
