Re: Eddie gone
Possibly he could have, but Eddie never seemed settled at Burnley, and it wasn't exactly a great shock when he returned to his Bournemouth roots, sometimes managerial appointments don't work out for whatever reason, and that was the case with EH and Burnley.
Ultimately both clubs benefited from the decision, Bournemouth got promoted to the top flight under EH, and Burnley got SD and did the same, so it was a win/win for all concerned.

A leeds supporting relation of mine, is hoping that if Leeds need a new manager next year, they will get him. I have told them that they would have to move the club down south for this to be likely.
I used to enjoy the attacking side of his game but as others have alluded to, I couldn't stand knowing that we needed 2 goals to be in a game given the defensive frailties of his teams.
Given also what I have read about him destroying our youth set up, I think that is why there are people that have found him not to their taste.
Are we completely ignoring the fact his mum had died and his wife was struggling with a newborn when he left here?
I'm going to wager life is different for him now so moving away from Bournemouth may not be such of an issue.

It’s a bit simplistic (and incorrect) to say he only did so well at Bournemouth and got them promoted because of the amount of money he got.
The big rise in their total wage bill has only really happened in the last 2 or 3 years. Prior to that when you look at their total wage bill in 2016 or 2017 they were similar to us at the bottom end of the table
Re: Eddie gone
For those who complain about the style of football under Sean Dyche this is a salutary esson. Be thankful for our superb manager who knows how to compete in the tough EPL

Re: Eddie gone
I'm not completely ignoring anything, I simply referenced that his time here was cut short because he was finding it difficult to live in the north so if that was anything to go by, then he may find Eddie not keen to come back again.GodIsADeeJay81 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 12:15 pmWhy would they have to move the club?

You make a good point in that time may have changed for him and his family.I don't know if his children now are established in the area and his wife needs the same support network. I would accept his mum's illness isn't the same issue.
It was only a tongue in cheek comment to them. I wasn't actually professing to know the inner workings and understanding of Eddie's life and situation today. I would have thought they would have kept their manager on promotion but apparently the inner workings of Leeds wouldn't necessarily mean this from what I was told.

However the final decision is technically for the match day officials so it was human error not to give the goal.

By that analysis it must also be as equally fair to state that without any money to spend it’s also impossible to know how well the team would have progressed with him at the helm, it’s probably more of a accurate way to judge EH.TVC15 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 12:21 pmYep you are right there - think it was a case of wrong place at wrong time with what was happening with his family.

Re: Eddie gone
Personally I do not think Eddie would have done anything at our club as his success at Bmouth in this league and the Championship came from getting plenty to spend. He was unable to get us or Bmouth to defend EVER. We were heading to the bottom of the Championship under him and may have struggled to get to the magic 50 points-we had 11 from 10 games when he left and Sean's 33 games gave us 44 points.Also his personal situation in the autumn of 2012 would not have been conducive to success on the field of play and he was clearly happier back on the south coast where he was able to steer Bmouth to promotion into the Championship and then into the Premier league all within less than 3 full seasons. Many managers given that kind of money would not have done what Eddie Howe did-I think he could be very successful if he had a good defensive coach-not sure what Jason brings to the "table"

Re: Eddie gone
Now why doesn’t that surprise me, basically you was saying EH achievements didn’t necessarily boil down to money spent (which I agree) by that reckoning it’s also fair to say had EH found himself in a position with relatively very little to spend it’s also impossible to say how well EH would have got on.

Re: Eddie gone
To emphasise the dramatic financial movement at Bournemouth in recent times, their Wage bill in League One in 2012 was £4.4m and the equivalent figure for 2019 was £112.5m.
Burnley figures for the same years were £17.1m and £86.6m.

Re: Eddie gone
We played 71 games in the Championship under Eddie and averaged 1.37 points per game
We played 21 games in the Championship under Brian Laws and averaged 1.48 points per game.
When Eddie took over we played 21 games and averaged 1.52 points per game.
His only full season we averaged 1.35 points per game and then, before he left, we had played 10 games and averaged 1.1points per game.
His problems off the field before he left must have been horrible to deal with and his mind could not have been on the job he had to do.
There are few things worse than being a fair distance away when a parent is dying.

Re: Eddie gone
Bournemouth had to pay £4.75m to the Football League in July 2018 to settle a Financial Fair Play dispute arising from their promotion to the Premier League in 2014-15.
They had originally been expected to be fined £7.6m after accruing a loss of £38.3m as they won the Championship.
The EFL settled on the lower figure saying the club "did not make any deliberate attempt to infringe the rules or to deceive".

Re: Eddie gone
There's a simple test for Eddie Howe's time at Burnley which some people want to deny - if it was the total mess people think, we wouldn't have been in the Premier League within a season and a half. As good as Dyche is / was, he wouldn't have been able to achieve it without the base of players he inherited, not to mention equally and just as importantly the players Eddie got shut of who really needed to move on. There was an ugly culture at the club and also a drinking one.
Howe came in at a transitional time for the club and it's not his fault he followed the disaster that was Brian Laws. Unsurprisingly, results were not an overnight success. Nor is it his fault that a young age and still very raw, the board wanted him. The board would presumably have considered they were recruiting a manager in his early 30s with one club on his CV.
I couldn't stand the mood hoover Cotterill, but the same applies in terms of the base left behind too.
Just a shame some people can't be even handed.

We went down because we weren’t good enough, and the board of directors share that blame. I’m sure they are all smart enough to know that keeping the purse strings fairly tight contributed to us dropping back.
When was the last time a manager survived 1 relegation? Sure there will be one other than SD, so let’s just say from the PL....?

I never said that - I was saying they had similar wage budgets and the evidence suggests that given Howe got Bournemouth promoted he could have done the same with Burnley given more time.

It was a couple of years ago I think when Bournemouth saw a 40% plus rise in their wage bill one year. Last accounts the total wages were quite a bit over £100m and we know they gave Callum Wilson a £100k per week new contract last summer. The contract they gave Defoe was also new territory for them - I read they matched his existing contract with Sunderland which I know matched his Toronto contract - so that was £90k a week over 4 years at a Bournemouth at the back end of his career and he hardly played for them. That was a crazy deal.

Howe cleared out a lot of deadwood and bad attitudes as well as bringing in the likes of Ings, Trippier, Mee, Vokes and Shackell, laying the foundation for our first promotion under Dyche.

Howe was the longest serving manager in the Premier League and the most successful manager in the history of Bournemouth.

Read the thread and the facts and figures already posted. The point being made was that the budgets and transfer spend between Burnley and Bournemouth was not that different a few years ago when Howe was having success. It’s only in the last couple of years that their wage bill has increased significantly.
Howe has already proven he can be successful on low budgets as when he took over Bournemouth and they were on the brink of getting relegated to the non league and he took them through the divisions.
You are questioning whether he would be successful “without any money promoting his managerial career” when that’s exactly what he was.

Unlike you I'm exploring both scenarios & seeing things for what there are or to be more precise for what there were as past tense, it's only possible to judge EH career leading to the exit based on facts, & ultimately last season finishing at goodison park. How you define success without any financial assistance is debatable, yes he was more successful than some but not entirely not enough to save his job anyhowe pardon the pun. I'd also like to know how you perceive that all managers fail ultimately?TVC15 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 9:57 pmWho said he had no money ?

Eddie's net spend on transfers since he went there in 2012 is £181 million and Sean's net spend in that same period is £60.71 million.
Figures provided just for comparison but interesting nonetheless.
