    Doesn’t even say he’s about to be fired, the first line of the article says ‘expect Bournemouth to pull the trigger this season’ lol

    Not surprising

    Without a win in 9 games and they looked absolutely terrible against us

    They had no plan B and when we figured out what they were trying to do after 10 minutes, we just let them do it and force them into mistakes

    There are some big defences for him to the poor form this season.

    1. Incredibly difficult opening 7 fixtures
    2. Lewis Cook and Neto huge individual errors costing the team vs Wolves
    3. His assistant manager still hasn’t started.
    4. Transfer recruitment: has left Bournemouth with no defensive midfielder with Lerma leaving on a free and Adams out until March. No real striking depth outside of Championship level Kiefer Moore and an unbalanced squad of wingers.

    The Everton performance was awful and questions can be asked of that - but he has an unbalanced squad, without his assistant and tough opening fixtures with unpredictable individual errors costing games.

    If there is a situation where a manager needs more time it’s this.

    I thought Gary O’Neil’s sacking was a strange one, but the a lot of Bournemouth fans seemed to be really disillusioned with his football.

    Most people were very high on Iraola when he arrived, so I don’t think it was a necessarily a mistake hiring him. Things just haven’t panned out.
