Perhaps stayed a year or 2 too long - was linked with the likes of Arsenal around then. He’s done an unbelievable job though.

Bournemouth have had their day now. Can’t see them going back up any time soon.

In Premier League terms he’s not spent much. Probably one of the bottom spenders in the league.

But this year he has spent a lot of money and ended up getting relegated. A press favourite bit like Martinez. Granted this year hasn’t been good enough with the money spent. But over the course of their time in the Prem, they’ve brought in some good signings and a number of their squad are from their Championship days and many played in L1 as well. Can’t see them getting back to that level again - nowhere near a big enough club.

Suspect we will play them in a league game in the next five years. It's another of those grounds we never win at. If they don't go up next season, they'll plummet back through the leagues especially now Howe has left.

Really don't know where he can go at moment....too early for him to be a pundit. Started off as a future England manager few seasons back but he'd be a fool to go somewhere like Newcastle

Still nearly forty years ago and we've played them a lot in that time. For some reason I thought we'd not won there for about a hundred years

The thing I’ll always think about with Bournemouth was the year we poached their top scorer in Warren Feeney. Was convinced we were in for a good year. 😔

For some reason I thought we'd not won there for about a hundred years We've played there 9 times since 1981. So a few. But hardly loads in the Crewe, Rochdale, etc...category.

I disagree, did a good job getting them promotion but had serious spending power. But since they've been in the premier league he's spent big and badly wrong. The shame about that is he's actually tried to bring in the right kind of player too. He's not done what others have and shelled out on relegation journeymen, he tried to bring in young players who could develop like Jordon Ibe and Dominic Solanke but neither has worked out well. He made some decent signings too like Nathan Ake, Harry Wilson (on loan) but as you say, a lot haven't worked out as he'd have liked. Wasn't helped by arguably his best player in Ryan Fraser refusing to sign an extension at the end of June and being unavailable for all the post-lockdown games. Shame for Howe and shame for Bournemouth; always enjoyed seeing a small, lower league ground like Dean Court in the Premier League.
