Interesting and surprising. Especially considering what I heard from him. It would still surprise me if he took the job. As I said previously though, stranger things have happened and I would welcome him. Chance to be a star here.
Absolutely no idea. My friend mentioned he was a saints fan and was told quite strongly not to mention that because Howe 'doesn't like it.' He said he didn't like the attitude of Southampton and a Cherries fan was talking about Southampton and he said he would never go there.
Stranger things have happened but I would be surprised if it did. My friend (the journalist) is adamant that he won't come here.
So when people ask for a source and I then give them one, people still have a go. Ho hum. I'm often down at the Bournemouth Stadium and on occasion I get to go to the press interviews afterwards.
How funny. I noticed the opposite. Of course there is likely to be less concern expressed because the initial shock is what gets people's backs up so much. I imagine people have expressed their (largely negative) views about this and have nothing else to say until we see what quality of manager is coming in. That is the sensible cause of action to take. Most have strongly criticised NC for this and other policies but with the caveat that if we can attract a better manager then fair enough.
