Good luck to him and Bournemouth. I don't think there's been much (if any) manipulation of the media - news came out that he'd been given permission to talk to us, he did, and chose to stay where he is. All completely fair enough in my opinion, and shows he has a decent attitude to his current employers.

Now he can get on with the job in hand down there, and we can have a look at the next candidate(s)

Good on him, got to respect that kind of loyalty. And I hope we get to prove he made the wrong choice, by winning the championship next season!!

All this stuff about p*ssing about and wasting our time, I suspect thats us actually wasting our time monitioring a live situation, I doubt Parrish and co have been following the thread, hitting f5 and occassionally posting updates from the Meldrums of the world.

In truth, its probably wasted a day of their time at worse - They'll have other plans no doubt.

Back to work. Or is it....

Oh well after 200 plus pages of is he or not coming to Selhurst and fair play to Eddie Howe deciding to stay with Bournemouth so life goes on and now hopefully we get Chris Hughton but still feel the job will go to Chris Coleman with Dougie as no2.

NOT Coleman... plesae not Coleman

can we delete this now lol?

I don't post regularly these days but wanted endorse those who have praised Howe's loyalty. In an ideal world the decision would have been made a lot quicker but it was a massive decision to take for him and his family.

I wish him and Bournemouth all the best and hope they achieve promotion. I do think though if he keeps maintaining the progress at Bournemouth then sooner rather than later a club will make him an offer that he just can't refuse.
