I think a lot more people should know about Eddie Howe and his managerial success at Bournemouth

[@englandgoals9672]

Medical StudyBuddy Most do tbh

[@waspenterprise1]

yeah no what he's doing at bournemouth is unbelievable. him and nagelsmann will eventually replace mou & pep as the two top top managers. england won't win the world cup again until they appoint howe sometime in the 2030s

[@medicalstudybuddy2964]

Oliver Diaper yea but it's Bournemouth at the end of the day. Still though, I think they'll bounce back and avoid relegation. Plus it's only 7 games so far. Only palace are truly screwed

[@craigbeazley6309]

Medical StudyBuddy Need to beat the teams in our mini league. In respect of that, we've won one (Brighton) and lost one (WBA). Would consider Stoke, Newcastle and Huddersfield in there too so will be interesting next couple of games

[@medicalstudybuddy2964]

Craig Beazley seems like Bournemouth is headed in the right direction. I support Arsenal, so I've become numb to pain

[@DeepShyam]

No matter which Football club u support u cannot hate Bournemouth. :)

[@bernardweston6392]

Deep Shyam I agree I just find them annoying

[@bernardweston6392]

Pnag true pretty much are

[@craigbeazley6309]

Oliver Diaper What is your problem with our club? Just because we have spent less time at the top table doesn't make us irrelevant or pointless. In fact, it's the journey that's most exciting

[@bernardweston6392]

Craig Beazley you always seem to beat us just find it very fustrating and truth is your a small club and that's why u don't have rivals

[@bernardweston6392]

Harry Hogan u can sell out 12,000 stadium any club can if they are in the top flight

[@AlexJLancaster]

People talk about the Russian billionaire, but if you actually take a closer look, in every season but one (2013-14), prior to the Premier League, Bournemouth made a profit in the transfer market.

[@ajaysquibb2998]

Alex Lancaster exactly

[@lewis72]

But would they have been able to do that without the billionaire's money ? I could make a lot of money buying and selling houses if someone gave me £1 million to start with !

[@montygemma]

Getting 25% of Lallana's transfer fee to Liverpool helped, brought in about 6 million.

[@jeromebrowne1547]

@@lewis72 Manupy clubs in the championship have millionaire, the question is how much they invested in the squad look at premier league top 7/8 all have billionaires or near billions. Bournemouth had millionaire but the other club are not to different.

[@lewis72]

@Brian M It's a perfectly good analogy. Furthermore, once you're in the Premier League, you get millions more than being in the Championship.

[@Brainstorm4300]

Good on Eddy. He stuck around for his team and now they are a regular premier league side. Inspirational.

[@ThurstonWatt]

well, he didn't stick around, he left for Burnley....

[@tannerwilson4843]

Want to see them play in European Competition.

[@bigstelad]

I think you mean eddie

[@bigstelad]

PiscesPesci yeah well, Bournemouth have a manager called Eddie. And he’s got an assistant called J.T. Together they said fuck off to burnley. Too take us into the premier league.

[@andrew1984uk]

Thanks for this. As a Newcastle supporter I feel very fortunate that our club is in good hands with Eddie at the helm. I hope the Bournemouth fans know we see him as an absolute hero up here.

[@CoreyIOW]

During our game tomorrow that man is going to be the most celebrated man at Dean Court.

[@penaltygallery]

I remember in 2009 they wanted Charlie Austin from non league Poole Town but couldn't sign him due to the transfer embargo

[@bigmanwilfred4955]

Thank fuck we didnt sign him

[@kumarjitbanerjee3408]

I really love these kinds of videos...people always talk about big clubs and their rich history but no one talks about the woes and remarkable stories and background of the other clubs..excellent video as always,keep it up you guys...

It's a fantastic story isn't it? - Danny

[@kumarjitbanerjee3408]

uMAXit Football Yes,it is.Would really like to see you guys doing more of these kinds of videos :)

[@LB-uw5cy]

Maybe in another 20+ years Bournemouth will be one of those "big clubs" with a storied history like them, they all gotta start somewhere. The big clubs weren't always the big clubs.

[@nkskro80]

Thanks for the reminder of our heaviest ever home defeat!!

[@sniff_3512]

[@DarkwearGT]

Sad bournemouth noises

[@duncumbfc]

While it's true that Maxim Demin is a millionaire, we haven't spent a lot, I think the final comment was a little unfair. In our first season in the Premier League we were the lowest value team by a serious margin, in our second season only one team had less value than us. This isn't a club where money has been poured in, this is a club where the access to funds has been spent incredibly wisely.

[@JohnSmith-tp2mg]

duncumbfc but why hasn’t Demin injected funds into the club? Does he just not have the money or something?

[@jonathanvillalba3214]

With a baller backing your club, I figure getting loans and some good faith point also helps a lot, even if the russian doenst spend as much, having that leverage helps

[@oscarobrien8355]

Well we have spent a quite bit since then but have got good money back. Tyrone Mings for 27mil or something.🍒

[@Rattlesnake153]

As a Bournemouth supporter, it is remarkable how well Bournemouth have done. For the size of the club, we have punched well above our weight.

[@Connor_.]

Just seen the news that he and Bournemouth have mutually agreed for him to leave, he did a tremendous job while he was there, he won’t be short on job offers!

[@kj-styles6569]

brilliant video, I wasn't fully aware of the clubs hardshios over the years and its even more impressive that they're an established Premier League team

[@alfio539]

when i was 15-16 years old, i remember that i've take them in FM 2007 when they were in league one and in 5 years we arrived in premier league;in short, a classic career on FM :D. Few years later, when I read the newly promoted in the premier league and saw them, I couldn't hold back a smile, remembering the moments spent with this team! Greeeting to bournemouth from Florence

[@sauviksenapati11]

Quite enlightening and beautifully narrated video !!

Eddie Howe deserve an documentary of his own. His success story need to told, very very talented, humble & ambitious English football manager. Who say there r no good English manager? They just need to b given the fair chance & patience

Great channel. Thank you.

Very good video man Keep it up 👏👏

[@craigbeazley6309]

What a story we have. On the subject of Fletch, absolutely lovely man who is still part of this club and although he was the one who scored THAT goal remains humble. Up the Cherries!

[@hallerty]

I hope Bournemouth gets promoted since this story is so good

[@eggydav]

My team (Rotherham United) suffered administration around the same time as Bournemouth. As bad as last season was, I can only be so thankful to everyone that helped so that my team didn't dissolve 10 years ago

Love the video just saying, my great nan was of those people who put money into that collection box😂 You've got to do a video on the tactics behind Dortmund they have a style of play that is unique.

[@DCNo9]

50 seconds in, Krasner wasn't the administrator at the time of The Winter Gardens + buckets; the receiver at that time was Alan Lewis (he even bought a season ticket) Krasner was 10-years later and he spent freely on himself staying at The Chewton Glen. He knew he had the money, as the administration was a pre-pack, paid for by the then chairman of the club.

[@davidsabillon5182]

Amazing 🤯. I love football

[@MrRobTheLEGEND]

Don't think the arrow to the knee was required lol

[@thegreatcalvinio]

They've had a rough start to the season, I hope they stay up this year.

[@craigbeazley6309]

thegreatcalvinio Performances have been decent mate but results haven't gone our way. However it a results business and unless we start picking up points we will get relegated. I'm confident, we have played Arsenal, Spurs, Man City and Everton so far and only looked out of it against Arsenal. Really we should have beaten Everton and drawn against City. Concern is we are no good with crosses into the box, Brighton figured that out despite winning that game and our defending of the two corners in a row was shabby (one crossbar, one off the line). However Eddie will get it right, starting with Stoke next week

[@darrylgretton6255]

Great video I knew they were in league two not so long ago but had no idea they were in that mess

[@matt-a-hew5089]

I've been watching since 2005/2006 and yes I agree, but that's because we never needed one till championship and prem, then all the new fans bought the season tickets with a lot of the older fans like us wondering where our tickets and seats have gone. 🤣

[@TheVlogger110]

I know how you feel, I find it difficult to get a home ticket so I tend to go to the away games.
