The Managerial Merry-go-round

[spursfan77]

If you don't fully support and trust the manager then you get rid of them before the season starts. The transfer window closes in 2/3 days? Cutting it a bit fine to appoint a new manager, let new manager evaluate his squad and bolster the squad in areas where he thinks it needs strengthening. In all likelihood Bournemouth's going to have to lumber on until January with what is clearly one of if not the weakest squad in the league. Bournemouth will be all but relegated by January and that's ultimately down to the failure of the chairman and the board to either support Parker or give enough time to a new manager to make changes.

I suspect they’ve got someone lined up. Dyche the obvious choice

I’m putting a tenner on Alex Neil quitting Stoke and signing for Bournemouth.


it might be early in the season but Scott Parker’s never shown he can keep a team up. Fulham improved with his departure.

Bournemouth are a small club with a tiny stadium, they have done well even to make the Premier League they just do not have the revenues to compete . Eddie Howe did wonders to keep them in PL for four seasons and relegated in fifth, any manager will struggle on the funds available at Bournemouth.

Harry lives very close by... Out of retirement maybe!!!... probably not.

Is Niko Kranjcar out of work?

Defoe getting itchy feet?

What happened to the Mings/Ake/Wilson/Ramsdale/Danjuma money? They got over £119m for those five. In the 21/22 season, they sold over £80m worth of talent and spent next to zero on bringing players in. Add in the tens of millions they received each season for simply being in the Premier League plus the parachute payments for when they weren't Bournemouth has money but it's clearly not being invested in the playing squad.

I mean he literally signed for Stoke on Sunday so I can't see Neil quitting that to join Bournemouth this season. If he was still at Sunderland then maybe.

They will probably try to get Dyche, and not invest much and try to do a Burnley in the hope he turns them from bottle jobs to battlers and keeps them just above the relegation zone for a few seasons.

It would be a gamble and just because it worked at Burnley for a while it doesn't mean it will also happen with Bournemouth.

True but it's always a gamble.

Possibly more to it than meets the eye. Parker was talking a lot about needing backing from the board over signings. Maybe there was a rift.

You are right- there has to be more than the results.
I did research a little online and Parker has been vocal about needing to be backed without anyone new coming in.
It'll come out one day

Tbh, as short-sighted as it was to sack Parker, bringing in Dyche would be about as smart a move as they could possibly make.
He's perhaps the only attainable manager out there that would give them a chance of staying in the division with their current squad - defo a better chance of staying up under him than under Parker IMO.

Question is, would Dyche take that job? On the one hand, I don't think many other PL clubs would bring him in due to his style of play so his options are limited and this would bring him straight back in at the top. But then he'd be working on a shoestring again with an even worse squad than Burnley had. Bit of a poisoned chalice.

Haven't looked at their financial accounts maybe they used the Ake money to pay off debt from the PL years of spending in which they were in the red.
According to transfermarket spending on players 15/16 to 19/20 season £244 million, income from sales of players £71 million.
No club can survive on crowds of 11,000 up against the likes of Man City etc.

Bad as it sounds I had Scottie down as the first to go this season I said it again during our match on sunday he would not last the week. The premier league is simply to big for him.

 

[brendanb50]

Whilst I get what you're saying, it seems like the fans of clubs he's managed aren't the biggest fan of him. From the outside or on paper, it looks like he's done well but from the inside there's more to it.

General vibe is it's not just about results, other things aren't right and that's what fans of teams he's managed seem to be consistent with

Appreciate the additional info/context here.

I think it's clear that there's a misalignment of expectations here - Felt the clip was somewhat biased and perhaps a bit naive in saying the motto of the club is about togetherness and there are more players in the squad who have PL experience now than in 2015 - Neither really addresses whether that squad is good enough (on paper at least) now, this season to keep them up. Parker obviously felt it needed more and the club didn't want to back him.

Question is are they in a position to/willing to back someone else (not in this window at least or very unlikely now) and is that person going to agree with Parker that the squad perhaps is a bit light?

 

[DJS]

Bad decision but their statement alludes to the fact they didn't like him calling out the lack of transfer activity.....

Yeah this - seems at least one of the co-owners got pissy.

What an idiot.

 

[SpursLegends90]

sucks for parker Tbh I dunno why anyone would want the bour job..the owner won't spend the stadium is small no revenue.. you are better off taking a job in championship with a team and hoping you can get them promoted pretty much all if not all then probs atleast 20 or 22 of the 24 teams there would be able to spend more money then the cherries if promoted

Maxim is the main man - it's his investment that helped take Bournemouth from an average league one team into the premier League.

 

[A Bit Much]

Sounds like Parker was on a hiding to nothing with Bournemouth's approach this season.

It's a bit odd they've decided to stop investing much as I recall they were bringing in a lot of players last season to get up. I know it's investment to get to the pl big bucks but you'd think they would throw the manager a bit of cash to help stay up (which is a massive ongoing financial gain for bmouth). I guess it might be the Norwich approach of up and down...

They did well last time but they punched above their weight with Howe. Also, how can they spend much in terms of FFP with a miniature ground?

If I was Dyche I wouldn’t touch Bournemouth with a barge pole. I’d wait for Villa or Everton as Gerrard and Lampard are on thin ice imo.
