Eddie Howe is just one of those managers who will only ever succeed at a certain club. He went to Burnley, a club you'd have thought would have been right up his street in terms of budget and football style, and all he did was buy Bournemouth players, and, ultimately, fail.
I'm sure he's being paid very handsomely down there, and, with all due respect, their level of expectations is such that, if he doesn't get them promoted again, they'll still love him and use the "we're only little Bournemouth" excuse. He simply can't lose. It's the dream job. He will not leave Bournemouth again, and certainly not for us.
It's not hard to see that Edna doesn't like us - comes across in his posts regarding us, which is fine.
For what it's worth, I think Eddie will definitely go again if we continue to go well, obviously it will be the next move when he will get the massive pressure..everyone will bring up the Burnley thing (which MAY have turned out OK..no one will ever know).
Perhaps that was slightly unfair. It's more Eddie Howe I don't like than the club, although I can't say the financial goings-on are particularly pleasing either.
Either way: I feel as though he's tried the ambition thing once and it didn't work out for him, and that he clearly is a great fit for AFCB, so why change that? I suppose he's still young enough to have another go, but maybe he knows when he's on to a good thing? His status at the club means he'd have to have an absolutely catastrophic season for the fans to ever get on his back.
