So many similarities not least of all the managers style.
Together anything is possible.

Transfer fees spent
11/12 - over £1.5 million
12/13 - over £1.6 million
13/14 - over £3.5 million
14/15 - over £4.1 million
That is not including wages.
To get to where they are that is actually quite impressive, but it shows you sometimes need to speculate to accumulate.

Eddie Howe manager 10/11 they finished 6th league one.Eddie Howe manager 11/12 they finished 11th league one.Not eddie Howie as manager !! 12/13 they finished 2nd league one.Eddie Howe manager 13/14 they finished 10th championship.Eddie Howe manager 14/15 they finished 1st championship.Eddie Howe manager 15/16 they finished 16th Premier league (out of 20). Eddie Howe manager. 16/17 they finished 9th Premier league. Eddie Howe manager.
Very impressive.The only backward step was when EH was at Burnley. Following the pattern they should either win or come 2nd in the premier league this season coming...well you never know !

It was reported in the local press, Bournemouth Daily Echo, the equivalent of the BP, about 10 days ago that the wage bill for Bournemouth in season gone was about £60m! I'm not itk and only go on what I read. If it's true it shows how things change quickly when you have the finances of PL? But £60m, blimey!
UTG!

Howe has done an incredible job there and he appears a decent bloke too. Always seems respectful to officials and opponents, a real class act.
Throughout their journey Howe had stuck to his footballing principles and they play some good stuff. The team for their first Prem game also contained SEVEN players that played for them in League One. A remarkable achievement.

I just realised something watching this, it doesn't matter how much money you have in football, it is about the togetherness and that is what DC is achieving with us, team spirit, two promotions in two seasons, top ten finish, players proud to wear the shirt, good attacking football, playing for each other, a young up and coming manager with bright ideas.
A proud football club.
That is something they don't have over the dark side of Bristol and that's why they are so obsessed with us, it strikes me that they are envious and jealous of what DC is doing here.
So we have to believe that we can do the same as Bournemouth, get behind the lads, even when it's not going right and we can succeed, pass them and be better than them. UTG
P.s a new stadium will help too.

Plus even with such a massive wage bill they are still making a small profit even playing games at Dean Court, I guess that challenges the theory that we can only achieve further success with a new stadium at the UWE. |

The key element to all of this seems to be the manager and I don't think this position can be understated. The marraige of Howe and Bournemouth mirrors DC and us. His attitude man management and work ethic is the same as DC so I can't see any reason, if we get UWE, why we can't emulate them. We have the love.

Amazing to see that his tenure has spanned across a 9 year (bar 1 year away) period...and still counting! That is incredible and seriously bucks the current trend of short term manager placements that we are witnessing almost with the majority of clubs throughout the professional leagues. It just goes to show what can be achieved with a combination of competence and stability at the helm and shows that the right manager can be for life not just for Christmas! Let's hope DC can be our Eddie and stay with us for the long term. As long as we continue to progress on and off the field I can't see why not. DC has a unique opportunity to create and shape BRFC to his own design as long as he continues to get the backing of our owners. Clearly continued progression with the training ground, budget and stadium are all important ingredients to that equation. IMO right now we still have good reason to be optimistic in this regard as we know from the SH interview only last week that the planning application for the training ground is progressing, the budget for this season has been increased and UWE is still alive.

Also helps that their owner has more money in loose change than AQ family have in total Yes he is wealthy but he's not one of the top Russian money-men. And, he spent a bit in the Championship but probably doesn't need to spend that much in PL. it almost pays for itself if you don't take money out of the club. Whatever, it's just outside our zone at the moment. UTG! |

And strangely enough the little criticism EH gets down here is all to do with recruitment, just like DC gets with some posters. Some people aren't sure that the recruitment Bournemouth have done is always that good. Ibe at £15m and others haven't been total successes, yet. |

Very true Topper. All the money Denim has spent at Bournemouth was on team. There's been little spent on the stadium because they don't own the stadium and won't spend money on something they don't own. They have spent a lot on training facilities which have really improved over the past 5 years. |

Lets hope DC looks at how EH left Bournemouth and it didn't go that well so returned and carried on where he left off. Maybe DC wont make the same error.....
