Congratulations to Bournemouth on achieving (freak results excepted) promotion to the Premier League, six years after their near collapse and relegation to the Conference. Of course, there is a Russian billionaire in there somewhere; but still it is essential to the enduring appeal of football that the unlikely sometimes happens.
Perhaps in six years we might be ................. Well, I'd be pretty happy with the Conference South!
It should be an inspiration. Russian Billionaire maybe but they haven't been throwing money around like others; indeed still have some players from their darkest times.
Inspiring what you can do if you are stable, well run and have a good manager.
Eddie Howe is truly one of this countries finest and youngest managers and dare I say a future England manager? I just hope for Bournemouths sake that their rise up the leagues to the premiership doesn't slip into a free fall like some previous premiership clubs have.
Bournemouth apparently have one of the lower wage bill in the Championship. Great to see what team spirit, committed players, a happy club and a good manager can do
