Baldyman Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Wow ! That’s criminal ! If we were all sacked tomorrow after meeting all of our work objectives with ease and replaced before we had chance to take the photo of the Mrs off the desk , we’d be straight onto an employment solicitor and we’d all win ! How football continues to get away with this beggars belief ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, in effect, has now been converted into a nice cash bonus, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember football managers are all on fixed term contracts unlike , most of the working population Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Foley also has a minority stake in Lorient Ligue 1 so maybe this will all feed in. Lorient fans don't appreciate the idea btw. Or at least their ultras. From January. https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2023/fc-lorient-fans-mobilise-against-bill-foley-ownership/ Perhaps promising Spanish players may get a bit of a school there and if they're good, well Bournemouth are very much on the horizon. Spanish coach, help identify some promising prospects. Last 10, 15 years feeder clubs, multi club models it really leaves me cold. People say oh modern football but the pace of change. Laat 10 years especially. Edited June 19, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your opinion but you can’t know he was only ever a stop gap after not only keeping them up but improving them quite a bit. After all it’s Bournemouth , they’ll never attract a top manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets get a foreign lad in that’s never managed in England & sack a manager that’s massively improved a team destined for relegation . ive had a pop at Lansdown over the years for poor managerial appointments & rightly so but this is mental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgrsimon Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Lots of 'noise' around Luton in the PL but to me Bournemouth are and have always been, a lesser club than Luton. Could say the same about Brentford too but they didn't buy a place in the PL as Bournemouth did. Thirty, even twenty years ago, if some one had said we'd be a league below Bournemouth Brentford and Luton, you'd have thought things would be going very badly for us... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 I kinda get why they’ve sacked O’Neil. I’m guessing their aspirations are higher than where they think he can take them. I think that is fair enough, even if it appears harsh. Whether the new man is the right man, remains to be seen…strong chance he’ll fall flat on his arse (most managers do) and the sacking of O’Neil will look silly. O’Neil leaves with reputation in-tact, but his that prepares him for next job is unknown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjak Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 I'll be backing Bournemouth for the drop next season.............after reading the American owner stating that they are going in a new direction "Playing Wise" and appointing a Spanish manager who was previously the boss of Rayo Vallecano?........Uh Oh?

Reminds me a bit of when Southampton sacked Nigel Adkins to much criticism (who got them promoted) for Pochettino who was an unknown to most English fans at that point, Poch obviously improved them massively and the rest is history 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
