Cherries: We're stronger than ever says Tindall (From Bournemouth Echo)

Howe getting rid of Rofe is, I'm hoping, an example of him being allowed to do it his own way.

Notice how he hasn't got rid of groves and brooks.

The work has already started, it has to be done the way the manager wants or it will never work!!! Hopefully the benefits of Howes experience will be there for us all to see on Saturday, what a statement that would be if we could pull of the win, great game to have first up for Eddie and Jason, the fans will go through the roof if we can beat Tranmere!!

I think that we the fans could make the difference on Saturday because I don't think it will quiter than a dentist's waiting room!!!! (as it has been during PG's and LB's reign). We can make enough noice to inspire the lads UTC

No reason at all why we can't beat Tranmere at home. Players must be up for it with Eddie and Jason calling the shots now. I just hope we can get Wes back here when his loan at Pompey is up - oh yes, and sort out the central defenders pronto - UTC!

What a great achievement by the board to get this pair back at the club. Our supporters now have great expectations but I believe have also the common sense not to expect too much to quickly. If Eddy and Jason are to succeed then they definitely need the terraces to get behind the team week in and week out. We have a West Ham style tradition at Bournemouth that was introduced firstly by John Bond and carried forward by Sir Harry Redknapp and I am hopeful that our new manager and his assistant will reintroduce to the fans, especially the younger ones who may not have experienced the size of crowds that we used to get along with the noise that they used to make. I feel really excited by whats happening at the club and sincerely hope that everyone will now get behind the club as a whole, get off the back of those they dont like, remove any bad feeling and help to push our team forwards and hopefully upwards!

I so nearly binned it. This appointment was beyond expectation. All of a sudden I'm enthused by it all again. Sat was amazing. The continual chanting of Eddie Howe's Barmy Army , the players responding and the North Stand once again sucking the ball into the back of the net! Good times ahead wherever we finish this year. Can't wait for Sat and it's been a while since I said that!

It's hugely encouraging to have these two back. They rebuilt the club at every level last time around so it took a special kind of recklessness to squander all of that but credit to the board for recognising their mistakes.

I wonder if Tindall realises that it rained a lot over the whole country this year?

Credit Demin certainly. Mitchell STILL wants Groves/Brooks as part of the setup, am seriously concerned about rumours regarding "Brown envelopes" but hope Howe/Tindall won't stand for any nonsense and stamp their authority in ALL areas including Young Tom, any problems I hope they have a word in Maxim's shell like and let him sort it out. There is much to do in all quarters, but feel sure if anyone is going to sort it, Howe will with Tindall's undoubted help/support. Saturday can't come soon enough, if the players thought last Saturday was loud, I've got a message for them, you ain't heard nothing yet, I know it can be much louder and it will!!!

I think Dennis Rofe can consider himself unlucky to lose his job, but I can understand that Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall are hands on coaches and need to do the job as a team, but I trust Mr Mitchell will forget his desire to keep Paul Groves and Shaun Brookes on the payroll, do not try and rectify one mistake by creating another, no new manager want or needs the former manager looking over his shoulder, plus all the curent backroom staff seem to be doing a reasonable job, why move anyone sideways or create new positions to satisfy these people

Jason was so polite about Burnley. My honest opinion- Its a horrible place and it does seem to rain all the time.

3 tickets bought already for this saturday's game and I can't wait.

I think we may find that Brooks will stay with us. My reason for this is nothing to do with his reltionship to EM. I have spoken to players who have worked with him and they all rate him as a coach but also addmit he couldn't manage players. As for PG, I have heard very little about him. I also am lead to believe that JT rates SB as a coach. This information is from mates of mine that worked on JT's house 3 yearsago.
Having said all that I am pretty sure that the Dynamic Duo have the final say on all football matters. Guess we will never know the whole truth.
Just can't wait till Sat. Come on you REDS.

If we have the size of crowd we should have and we sing like we did on Saturday, then the fans will make a big difference, it was the difference on Saturday after a dull first half, so more of the signing we had then and we should get something out of the game!!

...I don't know anyone who has any inside info on the club (although I know a lot of people who have 'dealt' with Mitchell)
I have only met Eddie Howe once and he was a tad miserable then...but maybe it was a bad day?
All that matters is that we have a manager with experience to try and guide us back to the top of this League and I am happy for that.
I am looking forward to Saturday and the beginning of hopefully some good times and football entertainment to return to Dean Court

I called my (poorly) brother in Italy to tell him the news about EH and JT returning, when my sister-in-law held the phone to his ears his first words were 'up the cherries'. As he checked the Echo website every day when he was well I would love to take a 'WIN' over to him and cheer him up a bit next Wednesday when I go over. UTC Forza le ciliege

... The SURVIVAL REVIVAL has begun......... Its going to be a tough ask to beat Tranmere on saturday........... If we pull it off we will have to start calling the guvnor Eddie Howitzer.

Groves has to move on surly?EM is loyal to people who have worked hard for BMTH, and hard on players who haven't , but. EH. JT. Have to be there own. Men, Good luck Sat AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

That would be a fantastic result and yes I'm certain it would give your brother something to smile about as I'm sure Eddie's return must of done. I'm sure there are many who blog on here that along with me send him our best wishes...

I only wish he could read these blogs but yes I will let him know that there are an awful lot people, who have never met him, who are praying and thinking of him. He has been to Dean Court couple time when he visited the UK and at the time love it.

Many thanks

All the best to your bro and with ed Howe , tindall in charge may it bring happiness all round

Good to see the pair back. Looking forward to seeing the results improve. Best wishes to them both

To all you lot in the North Stand, you were amazing on Saturday. You lead the rest of the pack, keep that drum banging and the singing going, it's enough to unsettle any opposition and the atmosphere is just buzzing.

The kind of atmsphere that existed prior to their departure may well be even better come Saturday I am sure that we will all be joining in in the Eddie Howe' Barmey Army and bring out the best from the squad.

Dear Mr Nonno.

Regarding Mr Pugh -Yes he is still with us. Unfortunately, he wants Championship football. He will now go at the end of the season. I find it very surprising that he is still with us.
.
Due to us having now played too many games, the chances of us getting promoted this season have now passed us by. So Mr Pugh will not sign another contract to play another season in League One next season.
.
Ref the Howe appointment - Yes thank the lord for an experienced manager!! and so one cannot complain. But at what cost to the club financially - I suppose we will never know.
.
The one reservation I have is that most of Eddies success with us the first time he was here was built on the fact that he already knew, worked and played with most of the players that were here at the time and they played for him.
.
He has now inherited a completly different set of players and that takes time to get the best out of them and play the way he wants them to play. So another transitionary period awaits us.
.
Hence no promotion for this season I am afraid.
.
Hence my predictions - i believe that I am right more times than I am wrong. Unfortunatly that is. I believe that one individual has already sided with me on this in answering one of your posts.
.
Another thing is that the only reason why the club want to employ Groves and Brooks within the youth policy is to avoid paying their contracts as that will cost the club a pretty penny!!!
.
I still believe in what Groves was trying to do, but unfortunatly he ran out of time. I still believe that he could manage in the Championship successfully given the time that is !.

prediction for Saturday is opened ended.
AFCB 1 Tranmere1.
.
Or I belive whoever scores first will win.

Dean Court will never get the crowdsthey were ettng in the Bond days.Alsosince its been rebuilt,C just isn the same atmoshere.The South End looked & sounded rather imppressive on a good day.
The 3 gamesthat stood out for me was the Hereford game when we went up from the old 4th Div with Dave Webb in charge.The beating of Man Utd, when they were Cup holdrs & my favourite night wa beating Middlesborough, to go top the year w won Div 3 title.That night was amazing & for me even noisier than the Man Utd game. What can we hope for now? 11,000 would be pushingit.Hope Im wrong...Id love to hear the 'Left side,LeftSide give us a song',banter of the earlyo mid 80s.There were always some right characters leading the singing & our away support was almost legendary.
Anyone remember going to Fulham as Div3 Champs?Took over Craven CottageAmazing....

So. Your prediction is either a draw, or a win for one of the two teams.... You should be a politician, my dear SMHINTO. Regards to you too.

I`ve heard from a pretty reliable source that PG and SBs`contracts have been paid up,and as their previous contracts have been terminated,re-employ
ing them in the youth set-up would therefore entail a new contract.
Oh,by the way SB`s pay off -£160k.

Eddie only managed 34 wins out of 87 at Championship Burnley so dropping down into Div 1 means he is at a level more suited to his abilities. Its all about being in your comfort zone. Plus of course the drizzle and grey sky (northern cliche or what) got the two of them down, bless.

Adkins up the road had better drop down a division as well.
In fact the whole team up there need to drop down a division.

Shouldn't take too long! I'll give them about another 6 months. Then we'll see if all their "stars" stay with them or jump ship, having had a taste of PL football. Hopefully, Lallana will be first to go, and we'll be quids in!

You always get a better atmosphere in a Terraced stadium and when I first went to Dean Court it was 20,000+ 99% male too. The 29,500 record gate was againt the Busby Babes - what an atmosphere that day. But those days are gone and we now have all the constraints of an all seater stadium. Such a pity that we can't complete the ground with a Terrace at the South End - using the German system they use to get round FIFA's rules. Standing for League games - sitting for FIFA games. With the South End competing with the North End for noise and passion.There is a strong movement to allow some safe terracing at grounds, can only hope that it is successful. Those who have never stood on the Terraces don't know what they are missing. We should have choice!

SMHINTO I think for the most part of your post you make some good observations and whilst we may differ in some of the points you make they are nevertheless fairly balanced.

However as it has already been pointed out you leave your bow door wide open for an exocet to be rammed through without any problems. Because whatever the result it would make you correct, and on that basis you lose a lot of credibility.

Thank you for refraining from calling me names I am sure come end of April/May we may well return to your prediction but for the time being lets enjoy what is ahead of us hopefully some good football when EH and JT find the right formula.

Kind regards

Well Mr SMHinto the reason Mr Pugh is still with us is quite simple. No club in the championship has ever come in for him, not even Burnley under EH regime. He is a league 1 player (avery good one mind) and that's that. If he runs his contract down does he imagine there will be a queue of championship clubs waiting for him ?
.
As for the rest of your post I must agree with pretty much all of it apart from the comments about PG. You were having a laugh weren't you. Perhaps you can enlighten us as to what PG was trying to do, because I don't think he knows !

Eddie, please leave Bartley and Ings where they are.

The 29,500 record gate was againt the Busby Babes - what an atmosphere that day. But those days are gone and we now have all the constraints of an all seater stadium. Such a pity that we can't complete the ground with a Terrace at the South End - using the German system they use to get round FIFA's rules. Standing for League games - sitting for FIFA games. With the South End competing with the North End for noise and passion.There is a strong movement to allow some safe terracing at grounds, can only hope that it is successful. Those who have never stood on the Terraces don't know what they are missing. We should have choice!

SOC, just for the record, the attendance at the Man U game was 28,799 and the gate receipts were £3,370. 1s 0d.

Hopefully the benefits of Howes experience will be there for us all to see on Saturday, what a statement that would be if we could pull of the win, great game to have first up for Eddie and Jason, the fans will go through the roof if we can beat Tranmere!!

I think that we the fans could make the difference on Saturday because I don't think it will quiter than a dentist's waiting room!!!! (as it has been during PG's and LB's reign). We can make enough noice to inspire the lads UTC

Dear Mr Nonno.

Regarding Mr Pugh -Yes he is still with us. Unfortunately, he wants Championship football. He will now go at the end of the season. I find it very surprising that he is still with us.
.
Due to us having now played too many games, the chances of us getting promoted this season have now passed us by. So Mr Pugh will not sign another contract to play another season in League One next season.
.
Ref the Howe appointment - Yes thank the lord for an experienced manager!! and so one cannot complain. But at what cost to the club financially - I suppose we will never know.
.
The one reservation I have is that most of Eddies success with us the first time he was here was built on the fact that he already knew, worked and played with most of the players that were here at the time and they played for him.
.
He has now inherited a completly different set of players and that takes time to get the best out of them and play the way he wants them to play. So another transitionary period awaits us.
.
Hence no promotion for this season I am afraid.
.
Hence my predictions - i believe that I am right more times than I am wrong. Unfortunatly that is. I believe that one individual has already sided with me on this in answering one of your posts.
.
Another thing is that the only reason why the club want to employ Groves and Brooks within the youth policy is to avoid paying their contracts as that will cost the club a pretty penny!!!
.
I still believe in what Groves was trying to do, but unfortunatly he ran out of time. I still believe that he could manage in the Championship successfully given the time that is !.

prediction for Saturday is opened ended.
AFCB 1 Tranmere1.
.
Or I belive whoever scores first will win.

Regards

An ambiguous load of claptrap.
As usual.

I can't believe what you say about GROVES ,, no matter how much time he had, it would of made no difference what. So ever .. The man was HOPELESS ..

JONTEE I am going to have a shot at this prediction lark. First of all I predict that we will be playing with a round ball, secondly I predict that the team who puts the ball in the opposition’s goal most times will win the game and the three points and most importantly I predict that the Pope is a catholic. Take the bones out of that one SMHINTO!!!

...fun on here innit?

Why leave Bartley where he is? He is exactly what we are desperate for

Good article. We have a really good opportunity to move in the right direction. Let's hope this top duo can make our lacklustre bunch of talent into a lean mean team. Up the cherries!

Yeah ur right let Bartley sit on the bench should have not been so greedy saying he never play for us again unless he moves and his agent is a toss aswell we got players like David's Hughes parington arter okay not as quick but hey hoo who cares utciad

Disagree mate. We never replaced Bartley (along with EH & JT clearly). The main reason why we fell away into obscurity. I'd have him back in a heart beat. Quality in midfield.

Ings, i agree.

I'm pleased EH is about to trim the squad numbers. We had 4 1st teamers at Winchester today Jal, McDermott,Bowles & Zubar, there's only 2 of them I'd keep and Jal is not one of 'em. Several out on loan too.
The disquiet in the Dressing Room is brought about by many of the lads not knowing when their next game will be, and it's games that make them 'sharp' Pughie is despondent because of the famous diamond formation not needing a winger. You can see how happiness and confidence affected him on Sat...say no more!

Our supporters now have great expectations but I believe have also the common sense not to expect too much to quickly. If Eddy and Jason are to succeed then they definitely need the terraces to get behind the team week in and week out. We have a West Ham style tradition at Bournemouth that was introduced firstly by John Bond and carried forward by Sir Harry Redknapp and I am hopeful that our new manager and his assistant will reintroduce to the fans, especially the younger ones who may not have experienced the size of crowds that we used to get along with the noise that they used to make. I feel really excited by whats happening at the club and sincerely hope that everyone will now get behind the club as a whole, get off the back of those they dont like, remove any bad feeling and help to push our team forwards and hopefully upwards!

Dean Court will never get the crowdsthey were ettng in the Bond days.Alsosince its been rebuilt,C just isn the same atmoshere.The South End looked & sounded rather imppressive on a good day. The 3 gamesthat stood out for me was the Hereford game when we went up from the old 4th Div with Dave Webb in charge.The beating of Man Utd, when they were Cup holdrs & my favourite night wa beating Middlesborough, to go top the year w won Div 3 title.That night was amazing & for me even noisier than the Man Utd game. What can we hope for now? 11,000 would be pushingit.Hope Im wrong...Id love to hear the 'Left side,LeftSide give us a song',banter of the earlyo mid 80s.There were always some right characters leading the singing & our away support was almost legendary.

Thank you for correcting me, seemed like more there at the time. Now you have me trying to remember how much I paid for my late Wife and I to stand in the New Stand - it was certainly more than two shillings though. Think that the receipts were more than £3,370. 1s - surely £33,000 +? .

Eddie only managed 34 wins out of 87 at Championship Burnley so dropping down into Div 1 means he is at a level more suited to his abilities. Its all about being in your comfort zone. Plus of course the drizzle and grey sky (northern cliche or what) got the two of them down, bless.

Always good to see in-bred scum on this site, is it harder to type with two thumbs????

How many thumbs have you got? Three I presume. I can confirm I have the two you refered to, but I dont use them for typing. My post is factual, is that a problem for you Mr Three Thumbs???
