CHERRIES RETURN: Eddie Howe is back in the Dean Court hot-seat
Cherries have agreed terms with Burnley for Eddie Howe's Dean Court return.
Chairman Eddie Mitchell confirmed in the past few minutes that the club had reached an agreement over compensation for Howe, who is set to return for a second stint in the Dean Court hot-seat.
Howe will now talk personal terms with Cherries and is expected to be unveiled as manager either later today or before tomorrow's clash against Leyton Orient.
The 34-year-old and assistant Jason Tindall are expected to be offered three-and-a-half year deals.
Meanwhile, Burnley this afternoon also confirmed a compensation package had been agreed for Howe with a post on the club's official Twitter account.
Mitchell, meanwhile, said he was confident Howe and Tindall would have signed contracts prior to tomorrow's game.
Mitchell told the Echo: "Eddie knows us and we know him and it is almost as if I am appointing another person from in-house because, in the spirit of things, I don't think he ever left.
"It is a great coup for the club and we are very pleased with the deal. We now feel we have got the best off-field team in place and the best squad we could assemble. We have got to do the rest on the pitch now.
"If Eddie thinks promotion is realistic with the squad we have got then that has got to be our aim.
"He will know that and I think he will deliver."
Mitchell confirmed he would be discussing with Howe and Tindall the possibility of former boss Paul Groves and assistant Shaun Brooks working within the new management set-up.
He added: "We will be looking at trying to retain the services of Paul and Shaun. With Eddie and Jason coming back on board, the knowledge this would give us would make us unrivalled in our league and we would have to make the best use of it.
"We are all part of the same club and want to do our best by the club and be supporters."
In a statement on the club's official website, Burnley said: "Burnley Football Club can confirm that a compensation package has today been agreed with AFC Bournemouth for the services of manager Eddie Howe.
"Howe has today left Burnley Football Club for personal and family reasons."

Eddie Mitchell has received a lot of stick from fans - some justified, some not but credit where credit is due. Well done you have made a lot of cherries fans happy today.
Now is the time for the board and fans to unite, back the manger and team and look forward together rather than petty infighting.
Again well done all involved.

well done mitchell for getting a good manager in, i would have preferred redknapp, but eddoe howe is my second choice and he will do a gret job.
it will take a few seasons though, because he has got a ridiculous sized squad of highly paid players to manage.
UTC, if we play the sort of football we played when howe was last here the gates will go back up to over 7000 average again

When I posted my comment it was just wishful thinking that EH would come back. Don't get me wrong I'm glad he's back, but I still think he's got a big job on his hands to pull this club out of the mire and unless he gets us promoted in style within the next couple of seasons, then yes, I stand by my comment that coming back here would have proved career suicide.

Lets hope all the Mitchells stay out of the training room and let Eddie and Jason do their jobs as they think fit.
Just for the record I will NEVER forgive (or forget), Mitchell embarrassing our club on national radio, for his drunken pitch rants but mostly for telling us to go and watch the Scummers.
However, I am now looking forward to going to match tomorrow.
Welcome back Eddie and Jason
The Renegade Master

If Mitchell hadn't spent so much of the club's money doing up Dean Court a couple of years ago to finance his life style and keep his other business interests afloat, he wouldn't have had to sell EH's team out from under him and we would likely already be a Championship club.
I just hope that EH has had assurances form Maxim that the Mitchell's will ALL be kept well away from the football side of the club and that he will be able to put his own back room team in place. There certainly shouldn't be a place in that for a Director of Football who doesn't have a clue.

However, I have to agree with the "Scummer" you lot are two faced.
Who made EH leave in the first place?
So suddenly EM is "god" (little "g").
If it wasn't for EM we would be in the Championship by now.....
Oh please don't come on with the tear-filled "where would AFCB be without Edmund", arguments (little t*sser*) yeh right. He gained control for virtually nothing and has milked us for every penny since.
