If Bournemouth do get relegated this season, they have only themselves to blame. Still have no fucking clue why they sacked O’Neill

Contrary to previous report in the Mail, Andoni Iraola retains the support of the Bournemouth hierarchy and will be in charge for Saturday’s game against Burnley.

Iraola is yet to win a Premier League game since replacing Gary O’Neil at the Vitality Stadium. O’Neil’s current club Wolves came from behind to win at Bournemouth on Saturday.

Losing Lerma and Adams being out until March has really hurt them

Alex Scott could save his job. You could tell he’s a very good player but lacked match fitness against us… game against Burnley at the weekend is a must win.

Football’s kiss of death

Worst team we’ve played against this season by far. A far cry from O’Neil’s side who came to the Emirates last season with an effective setup and plan and were frankly unlucky to lose in the end.

Iraola has had hard fixtures so far but getting smashed by Everton hardly gives him a case, he needs to turn it around fast.

Suspect that he’ll be gone during the November international break if results don’t improve

The loss against Everton and Wolves hurt but Iraola is a good coach and I’m certain we won’t be in this position for long

The dreaded “full support of the board”

There are 3 teams worse than Bournemouth in the league

Luton, Sheffield United and Burnley

Please oh please let us win on Saturday

It’s so interesting how managers are discussed. It all depends on PR. I was listening to the BBC podcast and some of the analysts were talking about something along the lines of Villa and Emery and if he is a elite manager because he makes players better despite failing at other clubs. Of course any supporter would want their team to have a clear identity and all that crap, but in a situation like this where the coach doesn’t have the players to implement his game models surely that manager has to be criticized for not making adjustments and putting players in positions to succeed. People praised the recruitment for getting that Hungarian left back but they also signed two injured players. Even the guys they got in January who saved them have looked like donkeys under this Spanish guy.

It’s curtains for him if they don’t beat Burnley I reckon. If they do beat them then I reckon they’ll judge him until the next international break.

And I thought this guy was supposed to be the next big thing in management.

While Bournemouth sacking O’Neil was still stupid, Iraola is a good coach and has been hurt by trying to implement a new style of football while a bunch of his new signings have been injured. So I do somewhat understand why they’re retaining support of him, but time has to be running out.
