Pre season is over a month away.Well there is, because preseason isn’t far off and many things have to be sorted. Quickly
Kind of been that way the whole time when you're talking reasonable sourcesGone quiet this
They were very well funded during their climb through the divisions . So much so that when they gained promotion from the Championship their rivals lodged complaints that they had breached the financial regulations.More than plucky little Bournmouth mate, 91st in the English football league pyramid, faced administration, transfer embargo, 17 point deduction.
Eddie Howe, the guy you don't rate took the job coz they couldn't afford anyone else. Few years later they're playing Premier league football and finish 9th. Spent five seasons in the Premier League despite being favourites every year for the drop.
No, he couldn't possibly do anything with Everton because we're all snobs and we're all too good for him.
After this thread, I'm already considering the 'Ignore' option... I'm going to give it a few more pages...You won`t win this, you do know that don`t you, he`ll bore you into a coma.
Imagine the carnage if he ever decides to take Dave on lol
Yeah. The usual outlets were chatting wham initially but they have the Euros to cover so probably don’t need to worry about filling column inches at the moment.Kind of been that way the whole time when you're talking reasonable sources

I don’t get the fascination with next manager odds.
The odds in those markets are a reflection of what’s been in the media, nothing more, nothing less. They mean NOTHING.
In a position like his, it's an absolute must to have his finger on the pulse, a dossier, a full filing cabinet of CV, references etc etc of coaches and managers in all the major leagues.In fairness though, from what you guys were saying on your pod (which was really good btw) it looks like this is the 1st time Brands has really stepped up to manage the process. Whether that's because he's been emboldened by the 3 year contract, or that Ancelotti leaving abruptly has given him amnunition I am not sure, but it seems to be establishing a principle. If Brands selects this manager I'd imagine that is how it will continue moving forward and he will keep a list. Indeed he may even have a list and be working through it.

If a manager leaves in a hurry, clubs need to be able to begin the replacement process literally instantly. The crosschecking of references with GM's, players, opposition coaches and players is absolutely paramount... and agents acting for coaches/managers should be the LAST people to be referred to.
