No, the success of his time at Bournemouth doesn't depend on your definition. He took over when they were in league two, with a 17 point deduction and a transfer embargo. Kept them up against those odds, then got them promoted the next season (embargo still in place). Went to Burnley for a while, came back and got them promoted again to the Championship. Consolidated then promoted again. Then had them going well for a while in the Prem. This at a club that before Howe managed them, other than a very brief spell in 2nd tier during the late 80's/early 90's, hadn't been above the third tier since before the 1920s.


What I said was Bournemouth are in a better place than when he left mate. They were relegated when he left and have been promoted, so it's a fact.

Steve Bruce got Hull promoted.
 
You said I didn't like him that's why I tried to explain a very relevant difference.
I don’t need that kind of thing pointing out you know full well what I mean. You call Longstaff at every possible opportunity and pick him out like last night when no one was great and some worse and you stated he did nothing last night which was factually incorrect but as usual you had to pick on him
 
He didn't think but that doesn't mean he's right. This is the entire point. We know the players he picks are not good enough and the players he thinks aren't might have it. See Hall's introduction vs West Ham as an example.
I never said he was right, I pointed out he had reason and is in a better position than you to gauge the young players whilst also having his head on the block as opposed to someone commenting online.

What you said wasn't the case... I can say someone is useless, but that doesn't mean I dislike them.

That’s factually true to be fair but wasn’t what you were inferring. As for your mate Bruce he didn’t bring Hull up 3 divisions

It is actually that's why I said it... a factual comment.. I can't infer something different in a fact. That would be saying something completely different.
 
I hate you to “not like” me.

I don't hate you it's absolutely fine to debate without that. I just know I dont dislike Longstaff personally why would I he is clearly a very nice lad. I think he's out of his depth though and being pick of favouritism....that's my view inwont change it.... it's not right what you said hence I've explained why.
 
Better league position not necessarily better club

How they are a better side with more money after recovering <laugh> come on mate. They've improved it really that simple.... they got relegated amd are now much better off on and off the pitch than when Howe left.

I doubt he’s being picked because Howe knows his dad. If you’re just being subjective why is it always Longstaff you pick out?
