    Eddie Howe: The Quest To Become A Champion

    Attempted back in 2012, I'm going to give this another go.
    37 year old Eddie Howe is one of the brightest managerial lights in all of English football, a former defender who spent much of his career at Bournemouth, Howe had his career cut short by a debilitating knee injury which ended his playing career in the Summer of 2007.
    By December 2008, Eddie had taken over as caretaker at Bournemouth, becoming the permanent Manager on January 19th, 2009. Over the next several months Howe quickly built up his blossoming reputation by overcoming a 17 point deficit to steer the club out of the relegation zone.
    The next season proved even more successful as Howe somehow managed to earn promotion for Bournemouth despite a season long transfer embargo. Howe continued to work his magic at Bournemouth, building up a record of 51 wins, 18 draws, and 33 losses before finally leaving the club for Championship side Burnley in January of 2011.
    Despite the challenges of taking over a club mid season, Howe was pretty successful in his first few months at Burnley, putting together two three game winning streaks on his way to a record of 9-6-7 while steering the club into a respectable 8th place finish, just seven points shy of a play-off position.
    Of course, good results bring high expectations, and going into 2011-12, the Burnley board felt that Howe had the club to fight for promotion, instead however the club finished a disappointing 13th in the table, and by October of 2012 Howe had resigned at Burnley for the chance to return to Bournemouth.
    Back at the club he considered home, Eddie took the helm of the last place Cherries and somehow guided them from the bottom of League One all the way to a 2nd place finish and automatic promotion by season's end, a stunning feat considering that Bournemouth had not been in the second tier since 1990!
    A strong 10th place finish in the 2013-14 Championship campaign was thought by many to be a stunning achievement for the Cherries, it proved a mere stepping stone.
    His reputation growing by the day, Howe did the unthinkable in 2014-15, leading Bournemouth to the Sky Bet Championship title with a record of 26 wins, 12 draws and just 8 defeats. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Eddie Howe is taking little ol' Bournemouth to the Barclays Premier League.....

                  I love how Matt predicts Orion will return from Aruba to switch to a more tropical and exotic team.

                  Then Orion chooses Bournemouth.

                    No joke! Truthfully, this is something I've wanted to do for years now but never committed to. So when I got home and saw the patch and how it affected gameplay I figured well maybe now is the time, clean reboot start over with the CM I've wanted to do forever. Of course I get that I may alienate a few people for another restart but I was willing because this is something I really want to do. I want a manager CM, a CM where the ups and downs of a manager's career is the story, not the club. Can Eddie Howe grow into the first English manager to win the Premier League? Will he even get the chance at a bigger club? Will he survive in the BPL? Can he possibly keep tiny Bournemouth up? Can he deal with the rigors of one of the most demanding football leagues in the world? This CM, if I can pull it off will be about more than wins and losses, it'll be the story of one man's attempt to do what no other has as of yet. I think you'll like what I have planned.

                      Eddie Howe: Cherries Are Ready For Premier League




                      Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe says his team are ready for their first ever Premier League season, adding that he will not abandon the attacking tactics that saw them win the Championship last year.


                      Bournemouth kick off their first top-flight campaign in their 116-year history at home to Aston Villa on 8 August, following three promotions in six years. The club was on the brink of relegation out of the Football League in 2009, before former player Howe took charge, with the team 10 points adrift at the bottom of League Two.


                      Bournemouth beat Grimsby Town on the final day of the 2008-09 season to rescue themselves and stay in the league, before going on an extraordinary run of promotions that culminated in their rise to the Premier League in May. Howe says his team are keen to get going.


                      "We are very keen to get going. We have done a lot of talking since those fantastic days for the club.We have been working hard towards this moment during pre-season, so it has been very intense work. We feel the team is ready, so now we just have to go out and prove we are good enough," he said at a news conference ahead of the new season.


                      Howe has been widely applauded for his exciting, attacking brand of football, and Howe says his boys still want to play with the same ethos in the Premier League.


                      "I am not saying we are going to score 98 goals," joked Howe.
                      "But we are certainly going to go at it the same way, in terms of how we approach the games. We are going to be brave, and we are going to try and take games to teams. I think that is our way, I think that is what we have become accustomed to, that is what our players expect us to do, and to veer away from that format I think would be foolish, on the back of all the success we have had. We know it is going to be tough, we know it is going to be harder, we know there may be some bumps in the road for us, but I think we are prepared for that."

                            Oh they gave Wilson that goal, huh? Hutton's diving header was ill-timed, poor Guzan as he had that one.

                            The goal from Villa though was a fantastic play - starting and finishing with Sanchez.

                            Think it's cool that you've found your passion in this CM again, while at the same time our sliders are finally near completion - if not already. Irony, much.

                              No irnoy at all eh?
                              Villa's goal was well deserved honestly and although I was pretty disappointed, I'll take the point. Figure I'll need 40 to survive and that's one down!
