O’Neill done one

Bournemouth have sacked manager Gary O'Neil in a shock decision despite the rookie boss leading them to Premier League safety.

In a statement released this afternoon, the club confirmed that O'Neil - who took charge initially on a caretaker basis before being handed the job permanently - has left - with an announcement on his replacement to be made in due course.

O'Neil succeeded Scott Parker in the dugout at Vitality Stadium in August, having been part of his backroom team, and successfully kept the Cherries in the top-flight despite them being firm favourites to fall back into the Championship.

 

Staggering decision, must be a falling out over transfers or something similar as that makes no footballing sense at all!

 

Football...eh!!!

 

A really baffling decision, he did a great job, another team getting too big for their boots.

 

Sounds a bit of a tit

 

It's the breast coach Bournemouth could find.

 

They'll definitely milk it if he's a success there

 

Deserve to be relegated after ditching O'Neill. Worked wonders to keep them up when Snotty Parker threw his dummy out, claiming the players weren't good enough

 

Maybe some are putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 but some on the internet are linking it to this. https://metro.co.uk/2023/06/18/prem...olice-over-alleged-rape-of-teenager-18972825/

 

Darren Moore just left massive fc by mutual consent. Weird one.

 

Peps obviously after the job

 

More than weird.

 

Disagreement over playing/transfer budget

 

Is that two Premier League bosses leaving their clubs already "this season"? Or do matches have to be played for the season to start?

 

Must be taking the vacant Reyo Vallecano job. He's got the kind of face that fits right in in Spain.

 

They basically had a championship budget in L1 so god knows what's gone wrong there

 

Maybe they've got a L1 budget in the championship

 

Interesting point - as they won't be counted in last season's figures since last season has ended
