reddogkev Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Just how good is he? With their injury list and lack of resources / small pedigree/ tiny attendances, how on earth are Bournemouth beating Chelsea and Man utd in consecutive games? Now, I'm not usually one for grooming, but time to polish him up for the England job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maltshoveller Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Great results for Bmouth But As Man Utd and Chelsea sides go They are very average to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Remember Aidy Boothroyd getting similar plaudits when Watford got into Prem. Look what has happened to him. Eddie Howe does look a fine young manager though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I saw today Hodgeson will get an extension til 2018. That gives like the likes of Howe, Neville etc 3 years to build a career to come into the running for the role. If Hodgeson did leave next year the only option surely would of been Pardew?

One BCFC Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Eddie Howe has done a miracle job for Bournemouth however these two results arent outstanding imo, its easy to get your team fired up for these games and they are two pretty average teams nowadays. For Bournemouth I cant help thinking beating sides like Villa and Sunderland are more important for them to help them beatthe drop and if they avoid it then again he has worked a miracle for that club.

Look what has happened to him. Eddie Howe does look a fine young manager though. Although with Aidy it was only a couple of seasons, Howe has managed to get Bournemouth from near the bottom of what is now League 2 up to the Premier League and at the present time looks like he has a chance of keeping them there - something Boothroyd wasn't able to do at Watford. Howe also has experience of a spell away from Bournemouth, and whilst he hardly set the world alight at Burnley he didn't fail either. If the likes of Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool etc weren't so obsessed with getting foreign managers with Champions League experience you would have to say Howe would end up at one of those sort of clubs before England.

Pickle Rick Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Is the Premiership weaker at the top or stronger at the bottom? I believe both, so Howe is fortunate this year in one sense. I'd go as far to say that most of the top half of the Championship can compete with most of the bottom half teams in the Premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 This year's Prem is very weak and Bournemouth have spent a small fortune wisely. And he's a decent manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Great manager because he doesn't have to deal with a load of over inflated egos each week. Managing Bournemouth is completely different to managing an England team AND the English media who blindly over hype their chances in ever competition. I suspect if he was ever unfortunate to get the poison chalice of the England job i think he'd be found out quite quickly. Personally he should stay well clear and enjoy the well deserved credit for the job he's doing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Looks a decent manager, didn't seem to go so well when there was a bit more pressure on him at Burnley though and that would be my only reservation at the monent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Ah right. Might have explained why it didn`t look as if his heart was entirely in it at Burnley then, stuck at the other end of the country while your mum`s not well isn`t easy. I know, it happened to me and I could go home whenever I needed to, not have to travel with my team to Ipswich or somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 If I was English I'd sooner have anyone than the startled owl in charge.

Chelsea yes you're right though, but overall I would say you have a decent chance of getting a big club interested in your services. I think all of those are different to Howe though. Moyes had spent over a decade at Everton who are a bigger club than Bournemouth and whilst there had some European experience. From what I understand he was also handpicked by Ferguson to be his successor, but didn't provide the results the Glazer's demanded. Rodgers led Swansea to a mid-table finish before joining Liverpool, who at the time were (relatively) struggling - after some recent success and with the ground expansion I can't see the American owners doing the same again. Hughes was at Man City prior to the investment from Abu Dhabi so is a poor example. I would say I would think Howe would need to go to a traditionally mid-table side (Everton, Newcastle etc) as a stepping stone, however, we will need to see what happens as Howe seems very happy at Bournemouth at present. Plus, with the massive TV money available to all Premier League teams nowadays, gate receipts provide a smaller proportion of club income and therefore if Bournemouth can stay up they could push on ala Leicester or Swansea (previous seasons).

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 He is Bournemouth through and through as you say and they do have history in keeping their `legends` close by (Fletcher etc.). The fans love him and sometimes it`s best to stay where you know you`ll always be well thought of - just like any job really. As always, it will come down to the owners. I can`t see him walking again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Ramsey had a bit of success at that small club Ipswich and the FA snapped him up to be England Manager. Some years later the FA went to Ipswich again for Bobby Robson. In between times, Bill Nicholson (Spurs) and Bertie Mee (Arsenal) both won the double with their clubs and AFAIK were never offered the England job.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 He never set the world alight at Burnley though. Sometimes I think a manager and a club just click.

Lack of Action Man Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Can't jump the gun too quickly on this one. After all Gary monk was being touted as a future England manager and for whatever reason he just couldn't make it work this season. If anyone should be looked at for the next England manager, despite his nationality, it must be Claudio Tinkerman. He has gone beyond anyones expectations could've imagined.
