EDDIE Howe believes managers need to be given more time to make progress at clubs.

Howe also feels the high turnover of bosses is not healthy for the game.

He was speaking ahead of Cherries' Carabao Cup third round tie against Brighton at Vitality Stadium tomorrow (7.45pm).

Cherries set up a quick reunion with the Seagulls after triumphing 2-1 at Birmingham in the second round.

Their victory at St Andrew's was the second of a six-game losing run for the Blues, who parted company with former Cherries bosses Harry Redknapp and Kevin Bond on Saturday.

Two other Football League clubs parted company with their managers on the same day – with Chesterfield sacking Gary Caldwell and Michael Brown leaving his post at Port Vale.

And Howe believes the cut-throat managerial business can have a negative effect on football as a whole.

Asked about the departures of Redknapp and Bond, Howe told the Daily Echo: “I was very disappointed for Harry and Kevin.

“We say it every week. I seem to be talking about managers leaving their jobs.

“It seems to be accepted by football that change is a good thing and is the only way you are going to inspire a change of fortunes or a change of results.

“That goes against my mindset.

“My mindset is, if you think you have picked the right man for the job in the recruitment process, then you stick with that person until such time as you think it’s unmanageable or it’s not going to work.

"But you certainly give them every chance to be successful. I think that has been lost in football.

“If you think you have the right man, there needs to be more time, more loyalty and time for people to turn around things. I think that has gone from the game.”

Ahead of Cherries' clash against Birmingham last month, Howe had publicly thanked Bond for giving him his first job in coaching at Dean Court.

Asked whether he felt Redknapp and Bond should have been given more time at St Andrew’s, the Cherries boss replied: “It’s not for me to comment on how Birmingham should run their club, that’s not the point I am trying to make. The point I am trying to make is about football in general.

“A manager’s life span now and the demands of the job with how quickly things change – in two or three games, suddenly the opinion of you as a manager can swing from good to bad. I don’t think that’s right.

“I just think there are going to be so many turnovers of the job, I don’t think that’s healthy for football or football clubs.

“When you look at what happens when a manager changes. Instantly, a new manager will have different opinions on players and that’s going to cost the club a lot of money to turn over playing squads.

“I don’t think that is good for the game.”
