    He's the Bournemouth version of Alan Curbishley

    In a way we ended up with better what with the ride we had under Chris Powell at the time

    Be curious to see what happens to them when they decide Howe has done as well as he can or if he decides enough is enough

    Think their time in the Premier League would very quickly come to an end

    He has done a brilliant job, however League position atm doesnt mean much after 6 games(everyone else has played 5) and who they have played

    Beat Villa, Everton, Southampton
    Drew to Sheffield Utd 
    Lost to City and Leicester.


    Would still expect them to finish their usual 10th-16th but not challenging any higher.

    Won't be long before their fans start moaning that he's taken them as far as he can...

    Credit where credit is due, doing a great job  hope he goes onto a bigger club and does similar, young English management talent.

    Had the sense to see how much Yann Kermorgant still had to offer when Roland started messing things up at CAFC.

    You say that like it isn’t a fantastic achievement in its own right.

    If he’s moved things up to the point of people “expecting” Bournemouth to be the 10th - 16th best team in England then that’s quite something.

    Early days. Palace were 4th last week, now they’re 12th.

       He may well may do. That’s when your chairman needs to step up.

    I know the backing of a Russian billionaire owner has helped Bournemouth big time, still think he’s done an incredible job there, when I was a kid they were a tin pot 4th division club, so to even be in the top flight is amazing.

    I wonder if Eddie would ever be considered for the England job one day?

    Not sure about this.

    Yes, there's a fair amount (relatively) of "fans" who've rocked up in the last few years claiming to have been going since the days of Ted McDougal or seen James Hayter's hat-trick (I did see it btw). But for the most part most Cherries seem still to be in a state of shock they are where they are and the quality of the squad these days. Much more so than perhaps we would be if our positions were reversed given our comparative history and size.

    They are absolutely done for when Howe goes mind...

    It helps to have a rich chairman, money to spend, no debt, no expectancy from the fans

    Didn’t he go to Burnley and not do too well?
    Or did I just dream that?

    Bournemouth just annoy the bejesus out of me. How can you have a team in the PL for that amount of time still with a ground that small?

    Because the ground/gate money is almost irrelevant compared to the TV money and a billionaire owner who is happy to splash the cash.

    Eddie has done a good job, with some players he has done better than a good job.  Let's not get carried away he isn't the second coming of Clough.  Given expectations and the backing it would have been hard to be seen as a failier tbh.  Let's not forget they cheated to get there, its not the fairy tale some in the press try and suggest it is.

    Real life football manager player. Saved them from non league and has taken them all the way to the top. Incredible.

    I had hoped he would replace Wenger. There are few places for young English managers to go these days

    He left Burnley and returned to Bournemouth for family and personal reasons after his mother passed away.

    Arsenal would never hire an English Coach, they need someone who knows the European game

    All day long, I'm glad I have found another knowledgeable fan who says the same.

    Bournemouth play football on the deck and would have suited the Arsenal style.  

    Perhaps him not being a 'name' was considered a gamble.

    He deserves to get a big job, he wants to play football the right way.

    Having a great start to the season. Rookie keeper as well. I always hope Bournemouth stay up because it annoys Leeds fans. Tinpot Bournemouth in top flight Leeds 20 years outside top flight.
