Interesting choice. He was Eddie Howes assistant and knows the club and current set up very well.

Former manager of Weymouth. He took over when the money problems started the last time we were in the conference. He took over in very trying circumstances and although he steadied the ship somewhat, he underwhelmed. Chants of Tindall out started as we went 0-3 down to a poor Salisbury side and he was sacked shortly after.

I'll be interested in how he does.

Howe's assistant for 11 years and played 9 seasons for them as well. Think it's great that a club is willing to stay true to themselves and hire from within, although I do think a bit of fresh air after Howe wouldn't have been the worst idea. Either way, I hope he does well ... always had a bit of a soft spot for Bournemouth.

Agreed to part ways with Howe to go in a new direction without then appoint his right hand man. Makes no sense.

Evolution not revolution is what they're going for. Happy with the overall way things were done but wanted to freshen it up a bit.

I'm sure Tindall will have his own ideas and changes he'll want to implement. Just because he was Howe's assistant doesn't mean he agreed with everything Eddie did. I'll be intrigued to see how Tindall does, anyway - certainly a bold appointment given their intention to come straight back up.

I guess they are hoping he has reviewed the mistakes that were made, understand what was good and make the appropriate changes to address them.

Losing Ake is a big miss because their GA record was poor even with him in it so that’s going to be a big job to sort out.

Best of luck to him. Decent club.

They will be playing at a much lower standard so probably don't need too much surgery there.

However, with 40m for Ake and 40m parachute payments they'll certainly have ever so slightly more wad than my boys Wycombe!

Probably pay three times more to Wilson than we pay our whole squad!

If they get promoted they will though.

 

[Dorris]

This always worked well with Paul Jewell.

 

[RedTiger]

No suprise the club went with Tindall. Hopefully they kick on and rebuild a competitive squad.

 

[FootballHQ]

Going to be very tough I think but then I'd say anyone following Howe has a near impossible task.

Who was the last long serving number 2 to step up and be amazing?

 

[Bojan11]

If they get promoted they will though.

They first need to do the promoted job before worrying about their defence in the premier league, which they might not even make.

Fulham had a shocking defence in the premier league. Odoi looks like a footballer in the championship.

Obviously. I was making the point that if they end up getting to the PL then the problem will still be the same if they don't address it now in the Championship.

This will be a tough job for him. It’s a fantastic opportunity. I can see it being one of those where it goes one of two ways. Either battle for promotion or battle against relegation.

The Championship is unforgiving if you don’t get things right.

For one mad moment I thought this was some rugby guy, in a real left field move

Bournemouth won't be battling relegation. They're already getting a £40m parachute payment over 95% of the division, plus £40m from Ake.

Shift Wilson and maybe someone else off, and they're coming in with potentially £120m or so up on most of the league!

Sunderland and Stoke are just two examples of bigger clubs who got those parachute payments. It means very little if the team doesn’t take to the manager and you get off to a bad start. Things can go downhill rapidly even with a team of PL experienced players!

Not to mention that you are taking away their best player by far and possibly their only source of consistent goals if Wilson/King does too.

Hope he gets them back up. Always got the impression Bournemouth weren't a million miles away from becoming a very good team.

 

[Dan_F]

Makes no sense to me, but there you go.

Have they made any infrastructure changes to their stadium or training ground? Seems like a wasted opportunity with PL money coming in for an extended period of time.

Those teams had some criminal mismanagement.
It'd be a shocker if Bournemouth go the same way.

And I'm not talking promotion contenders, I'm just saying they won't be near the bottom.

Wonder if they feel Howe could change his mind
