Makes you wonder what the future is for them now?
Big question is where next for Howe? There arent many openings in the prem at the moment. Maybe somewhere like Forest who I suppose could be classed as a sleeping giant desperate to get back to the top flight. Could Bristol City entice him? They’re backed by someone with big ambition.Makes you wonder what the future is for them now?
Don't get over excited until they blow the parachute payments first, that will give them a massive advantage next season.Bournemouth could easily do a Portsmuff................. or far worse........ and they will struggle to recover from that.
Or he can just wait a couple of months and take the first half decent Premier League gig that comes about.Big question is where next for Howe? There arent many openings in the prem at the moment.

Unpopular opinion coming - I always thought he was a bit overrated.
A good manager but appeared in the category as a great one when he took Bournemouth up with a lot of Russian money behind him. He’s managed to spunk over £30m on transfers this season on pretty crap players and things were starting to plateau. His spell outside of Dorset with Burnley didn’t yield a lot either.
He has plenty of time to show everyone he can do other things but I think he’ll see a string of ordinary jobs before fading out of the game as a Director of Football somewhere.
I really enjoyed seeing them on motd though. Some great counter attacking and big wins over top teams. It’s one thing to have a barnstorming season in the premier league but he had four and a half.He ran his course. Some astronomical sums of money wasted on terrible players in recent seasons.
Will be interesting to see what happens to Bournemouth. They were very, very naughty with their spending on the way up the leagues. There could be a few people waiting to have a word with them once the plane is back on the tarmac.
I suppose the other thing is that I guess he would have had his contract paid off as seems to be the way these days.
That might come with conditions like Appleton when he left Leicester.
I can see him taking a bit of time out before his next job (6/12 months) unless something is to good to turn down, as for Bournemouth god knows what happens next for them all there star plays look like leaving Ake, Brooks, Ramsdale, King, Fraser, Wilson they’ll get decent fees for (bar Fraser) wonder if Harry Redknapp would be interested always like to go where there’s money is & on his doorstep
They also only got relegated because goal line technology, the one piece of tech they use that most of us thought was infallible, somehow failed to see the Villa keeper carry the ball 2 feet over his own goal line in the first game back after lockdown. Villa earned a point that day when they should have had none, and in the end that proved the difference due to having a worse goal difference than Bournemouth.it should be remembered too that Bournemouth win their last game away in style and only got relegated by a small margin.
its the right thing for him to leave. Let someone else see if they can emulate what he’s done
Overly simplistic I'm afraid.They also only got relegated because goal line technology, the one piece of tech they use that most of us thought was infallible, somehow failed to see the Villa keeper carry the ball 2 feet over his own goal line in the first game back after lockdown.
