Eddie Howe leaves Bournemouth

[LongsightM13]

tbf, they were correct on that front.

Oh I know, it was just one of the most miserable awaydays I’ve known as a blue, our defence making Jason Lee look like prime Van Basten and the opposition fans confirming what we all knew all too well, that we were doomed with a joke of a manager

He’d have to be batshit mental to go there

It’s only for a fortnight.

I went to that game with a Spurs and Brighton fan as corporate guests and I had the piss taken out of me by both of them that day, which I always stored up - and repaid down the line. With dignity, obvs.

Could see him working with Uncle Woy. Spend the season under his wing and then take the reins.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Seems a decent guy and did well to get Bournemouth to the prem and keep them there for a number of seasons. Don't think the prem has seen the last of Howe but the club may struggle to make it back there.

He's done a great job to take them all the way up the leagues but he hasn't moved forward since they've been in the PL. I did an internet radio show at the start of the season and said I didn't rate him at this level.

One reason is in the 2018/19 season they scored the most goals from counter attacks. You'd assume therefore that they were a bit like Leicester in 2016, with a mean defence. But they shipped loads of goals so you have to question that. Sean Dyche does a much better job in that respect. And whenever I watched them, they looked easy on the eye at times but seemed to be poorly organised and struggled to do simple things you'd expect a decently coached side at PL level to do.

Shipping 60 goals a season sort of points to not being a defensive coach

 

[SWPISHOME]

He's done an incredible job to get them to the Premier League. Master of his own downfall really trying to go toe to toe with teams in every game, On top of most of his big money signings have been shite, Ibe, Solanke, Billing, Rico, Lerma ect all not good enough.

More than likely mate, but he's had a good run there, so even if they wanted him out, mutual consent, allows a bit of face saving for EH and the club.

I suspect he's taken them as far as he can with their resources, and he should be more ambitious no matter how much he loves the club.

To be fair he'd do better with better resources, and taking cast off's from liverpool's reserves was about as good as it got. Bournemouth are not a PL club, and they never will be, nice club, and deserved there go at it, and keeping them there as long as he did is an achievement, he can do better imho, and at least he tries to play football.
