Confirmed
“I feel blessed to be able to leave the club with memories that will last a lifetime. Survival in 2009 followed by promotions in 2010, 2013 and 2015, leading to five fantastic years in the Premier League, are of course some of the major highlights,”
"I know how much you’re all hurting. I’m hurting with you. I will never forget the fantastic affection you have always shown to me and my family. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You helped the club survive in its darkest hour and deserve every success”
I hope he finds success at his next club he seems a decent modern manager .
He’s a top Manager and a top guy and will soon get another job in the Premier League or even abroad! His success with a small club like Bournemouth will take some beating, from the bottom of Division 2 to five years in the Premier League! Even Tosh couldn’t match that and he eventually managed Real Madrid twice!Quote:

He will be back there in 2-3 seasons having failed elsewhere. Just one of those managers. He missed his chance to progress now.
This would have been an ideal club for Warnock - with an 11,000 capacity, he could play the “plucky little Bournemouth” card for all eternity!

For me, being the man who took a club like Bournemouth down is as nothing compared to saving them from going out of the Football league, then getting them three promotions before surviving for five seasons in the Premier League - Eddie Howe is a manager of some substance and, if he is minded to only seek a new job in the Premier League, I don't think he'll have to wait too long to be offered one.
However, his failure at Burnley is a strange one and does raise the odd doubt about how he'd do when away from Bournemouth - he did bring Keiran Trippier, Ben Mee and Junior Stanislas to Burnley mind, so his time with them was hardly a disaster.
It's absolutely crazy that they've only got 11000 capacityQuote:

This for me, good motivator, shite in the high end transfer market.Quote:

Why the hell did they not invest in the stadium?Quote:

Maybe they are respecting his opinion that it's time for him to go.Quote:

I know Bournemouth did spend a few bob, they had to, haven’t they just sold a player for £40 million to Man City though? but, especially in these dodgy times for smaller clubs, they may have ensured the future of the club with the Premier League money and no ground debt millstone around their neck.
Probably get near 20 million for Brooks, 15 million for one of the strikers as well if not both. Bournemouth could have quite a fair amount of money to play with.Quote:

Somebody will come in for him, but he will have a very stringent medical before anything is signed.Quote:
