Taken a club from the bottom of League Two and on the brink of administration to stable mid-table in the Premier League in a decade (minus 18 months at Burnley). That is a hell of an achievement. Whether he would be a good manager for a different club is very much up for debate when Bournemouth is so clearly his club, the squad is moulded in his image and he has control over all football matters at the club.

On the plus side he has brought through Wilson, King, Fraser, now David Brooks, he clearly has a knack for coaching attacking players and getting the best out of them. On the down side he cannot organise a defence or even identify a solid defender for love nor money, and even their best defensive signing in the PL, Ake, has done some pretty weird stuff this season.
But other than that what has he done?
