Not entirely unexpected as managers move on quite frequently, and he had done three years. Question for him will be to wait and see if a big opportunity arises like Sheffield Wednesday, as this becomes vacant about every 12 months, or take the first job that is offered?
I don´t think he is that desperate to be honest. Besides which Howe is still the manager. If were Howe, I would seriously consider taking a coaching job in Europe to expand the CV, broaden horizons and experiences and wait a few years for an attractive proposition to turn up. However, I am not Howe so it is up to him, but you feel he has taken Bournemouth as far as he can and it is time for him to move on.
His players did and only woke up when it was far too late to rescue the situation. That aside, Spurlock, you have a difficult situation when your two least favourite teams play in the Cup Final on Saturday. Who do you want to lose? As Arsenal have been completely trash this season, you might have a quiet laugh should Chelsea win like they did in last season´s EL final in front of a similar sized crowd!!
It’s a tough one but it isn’t either Hoping Chelsea win...they never get real credit for their efforts anyway
I don't agree with PL referees taking charge of Championship play off games. It's not very fair on the top performing Championship referees.
