Howe: This is the only club I would have left for
4:44pm Friday 12th October 2012 in Latest Sport
CHERRIES RETURN: Eddie Howe
EDDIE Howe insisted Cherries was the only club he would leave Burnley for.
The 34-year-old is set to finalise terms on a three-and-a-half year deal at Goldsands Stadium - less than two years after leaving Dorset for Turf Moor.
Howe, who led Cherries to promotion in his first spell as manager, cited family circumstances as the main reason for returning to his boyhood club.
He said: "It’s been a really tough week. I can’t speak highly enough of Burnley Football Club, the people who work for the club, the players and the supporters, who have all been brilliant to us since we walked through the door, and I would like to thank them for that.
“To leave is incredibly difficult, but I feel it’s a decision I have to make for my family and for personal reasons, which I can’t go into detail on.
“There is only one club I would contemplate leaving Burnley for and that is Bournemouth and that is the situation we found ourselves in.”
Howe and assistant Jason Tindall are expected to be unveiled before Cherries' clash against Leyton Orient at Goldsands Stadium tomorrow.

He had turned down two(three) very well paid jobs to stay here, when he learnt of the Boards plan to sell off the team that he had worked so hard to build and that false promises had been made to him. Another offer came in and he was off - ask yourself, would you have stayed in these circumstances ? - We are very lucky to have him back. Be happy, most supporters are.

They only know a handful of the Squad and have to build a team and weed out at least a dozen players from our mismatched , over sized squad before they can start. This will take time to do. We shouldn't put too much of a load of expectations on their shoulders. Their task is hard enough without that. We can expect to see good exciting football return to Dean Court and possibly a strong end to the Season. Be content with that

The daft thing is it is the people who moan that start the ball rolling to get change.
I can not see the point of some of the negative posts on here and some of the (in my opinion) rubbish I hear at DC but that is what makes the game so good!!!
We are together, we SUPPORT AFC BOURNEMOUTH.

We must be grateful both to his wifes "home sickness" and to Max Demin who I understand was responsible both for Groves departure and the pursuit of Eddie and Jason and who is paying for it all. Thankyou Max. They have a huge job now to make some thing of our mismatched squad of over paid and over rated players. Welcome back gentlemen and "Good Luck " I suspect that you are going to need it. Now, all supporters need to get behind them.,

Where were we going under both Bradbury and Groves? Downhill rapidly and neither of those men did the decent thing and are thus still being paid by the club (presumably).
Howe created a great team (by 3rd tier standards) with virtually no funds. So, hopefully, he can create another. At least this time he has the luxury of offloading some of the existing players which should create funds & reduce the wage bill.
Once he ha a balanced team in place, and hopefully a group of players he can keep happy in the process, surely we can start to move up this table.
Thankfully, al long last, normal service is set to resume ...

The fans now have a manager they belive in, as a Bournemouth man, who can also bring success & play decent football in the process.
I am sure players will welcome the positive change and Eddie will get them to respond.
After months of negativity the 'Feel Good' factor is palpable, across the whole town (and even the Echo!).
Reaching the play-offs this season is a big ask, as first Eddie has to get to know his new players; form his own team & instil his playing style. If we make it, other teams will be scared of us, if not at least we can expect better football meantime & a challenge next season.
These are my wishes as a fan - at the same time I hope a happy home life is Eddie's reward.

My master’s move back to Bournemouth is for ‘family’ and quality of life reasons – taking a lesson from Harry’s experience; not moving the family home, accepting largish commuting distances (Tottenham. West Ham), and refusing appointments ‘up north’, eg Newcastle, etc…… and still able to develop a career to the highest level (based on ‘southern’ clubs).
Not many ‘southerners’ break into the market to manage northern clubs (Pardew: Wimbledon Surrey, and others?), but from north to south is a torrent.
