Agreed, he’s done a good job keeping them in the PL for 5 years. He has been backed financially in that time, they spend far more than the likes of Palace and Burnley but some transfers have been absolute shockers.ALF wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 12:20 pmI like Bournemouth and I think Eddie Howe is a good manager but serious questions needs to be asked about that. 1 goal in 27 appearances for Liverpool for Solanke, dodgier business than Joelinton.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 5:19 pmGutted!
Just seen Ibe left Bournemouth, Howe spent £15m on him and £25m on Solanke!

Re: WEEKEND FOOTBALL - 4/6 JULY 2020
Absolutely. They took the Sunderland approach to paying too much for the top clubs' castoffs - except they were snapping up youth that never made it, rather than veterans that were past it.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 12:24 pmAgreed, he’s done a good job keeping them in the PL for 5 years.

They may also wish they'd sold on Ake when he was in demand, because he's seemingly taken a big step back this season.

I think Mourinho will go, Southgate will take over at Spurs and Eddie Howe will get the England job.

I’d love to see Southgate at Spurs, he’ll be awful.biggeordiedave wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 8:01 pmI think Mourinho will go, Southgate will take over at Spurs and Eddie Howe will get the England job.
Howe is too tactically naive for the England job I think. Done great to keep Bournemouth up all these years but even before this season they’re so hit and miss, they’d either win 3-0 or lose 3-0...there rarely seemed to be an inbetween.

Re: WEEKEND FOOTBALL - 4/6 JULY 2020
I don't think tactical naivety is reason enough not to give someone the job. He is still a media darling despite his obvious failures this season and is generally thought of as a brilliant manager. It's not necessarily what I want, but I think he'd be a good fit for England manager.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 8:15 pmI’d love to see Southgate at Spurs, he’ll be awful.biggeordiedave wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 8:01 pmI think Mourinho will go, Southgate will take over at Spurs and Eddie Howe will get the England job.

Re: WEEKEND FOOTBALL - 4/6 JULY 2020
Rightly or wrongly though, I can see people saying they need a manager to "has experience managing the egos of top players", which Southgate avoided because he'd coached them at the younger level(s). Which isn't me defending that justification, just that it's a common trope thrown out by pundits when the time for a new national team manager rolls around.biggeordiedave wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 12:48 pmI don't think tactical naivety is reason enough not to give someone the job.
