Eddie Howes achievements at Bournemouth with their club unable to sign players and such a small squad have been outstanding. He has kept them in the league, promotion then followed in his first full season and they arguably have outplayed us this season with far less resource available.
One wonders what this guy could achieve if he was given the resources made available to Pardew
I think AP can count himself unlucky to have been sacked at this stage. Apart from not making the play-offs last season and the poor pre-season this year and slow start things have started to move on.
Cortese wants promotion and obviously does not believe Pardew will lead us there. He must have someone better in mind or lined up !
Good luck to Pardew and thanks for all you have achieved after the Dutch duo !
Would you not add Lawrie to that list? His achievements in 1976 and second in the First division + ability to bring in great players keegan etc were exceptional
