Sweeneys Penalties Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Wow. Not sure if I was a manager at Fulham I'd be in any hurry to leave...not sure I see Bournemouth as a step up for him either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 No idea of the background here but this has been rumoured since they got relegated. Bournemouth do have parachute payments but seems a sideways move at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Numerous reasons why he might leave. New challenge, playing budgets etc. Perhaps he can personally earn more money at Bournemouth as he might have been subject to a, severe cut in wage for Fulham's relegation.

Wasn’t the owner outspoken about the way the team played last season and had a big input in players coming in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the owner's son is, or was, in charge of recruitment. I'm surprised they didn't appoint a recruitment expert like Mark Ashton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodgate didn’t set the world alight but he did a reasonable job under the circumstances. He demonstrated enough to have been given another season to see if he could build a promotion team.

sglosbcfc Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Like previous posters have said, there may be numerous good reasons for why he might make the move. However, if you are purely talking about size of club, you have to say that Fulham are a bigger club than AFC Bournemouth on just about every reasonable measure you could look at.

I guess it’s promotion or bust for them this season because FFP will mean cost cutting is imminent Yeah, though some big sales and player departures last season maybe mean it might not need to be as drastic as many assume- check their Departures List. Either they've changed their ways from 2014/15 promotion or the EFL had words with Business Plans, likely future losses etc...maybe a bit of both. Definitely though if no promotion this coming season, it'd only get harder from there! All their players had relegation wage drop clauses except 5- all but 1, maybe even all 5 were out by the end of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
