harvey54 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I was heavily involved with Bournemouth from the mid 90's, just prior to when Sean took over. My ex was a season ticket holder and my company were involved in sponsoring players at the club so I watched a lot of them at the time. The club had been managed by Mel Machin, a greatly admired footballing man who also tried to get his teams to play attractive football. Sean came up through the backroom staff after playing for AFCB as a full back. Sean is a thinker; a quiet, intelligent man who can come across as aloof. He likes intelligent players who can take responsibility for changing the game on the pitch according to how the game is going and has a tendency to stand watching the game, saying very little. This can come across as a lack of passion and fans can misinterpret this style of management as indifference but from what players have said, he is very strong in the dressing room, its just not his style to bawl and rant during games. His teams play pass and move football with full backs heavily involved in forward play. He likes players that are mobile and direct and he always used to get good quality loan players from Premiership clubs because managers respected his coaching and style of play. I don't know if he could keep this shower of crap up because the squad has very little quality. As a manager who could rebuild the squad and get us playing attractive football, I don't think we could do any better. I still believe that he is a Premiership manager in waiting. I just hope it's with us in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictly Obi Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Good post! Secretly i am hoping he gets the job. He certainly has a reputation for good football. And i don't think being a quiet thinking type will bother most, but like any manager he will be judged on the success or lack of that he brings to the club!

harvey54 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 So to first team keepers then... Heaton? Cunningham Anderson Kelly Adomah Baldock Davies Am I forgetting anybody? Seems like a shockingly small list. p.s. almost forgot.. good post Harvey. I know. Depressingly short list. I think Skuse can play a role as a holding midfielder and we appear to have some talent in the youths that are coming through. I know that i am going to get abuse for this but i think Pearson would do well. He's being played out of position in central midfield and could do a lot better as a wide, left attacking midfielder. Only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 What I expect him to do - based on his track record - is to get us playing attractive football and bring in some VFM quality players. Whether Sean can save us or not is an unknown, but as Nibor said elsewhere, this appointment gives us a glimmer of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I think he will take us down, but we will be better for it longer term. He will get players playing well and if given time to produce his own brand of football - fantastic. Every cloud and all that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
