I think Fraser got dropped because he didn't want to sign a 3 month extension when Fraser knew he'd get a much longer / lucrative contract after the Covid season ended.Didn't he fall out with both Ritchie and Fraser who are both starting at the moment?
I think the key thing big money players are interested in is… big money. They could have a traffic cone in charge for all it matters.
Can't disagree with anything you have said.I don’t quite understand everyone writing Howe off as shit tbf. I hated his Bournemouth team for obvious reasons but he took them from League 2 to the Premier League (and then kept them theee for a few years). Even with some of the financial backing he had, it was still a very impressive achievement.
there’s a chance that it was because the club was so well set up for him (a little like Nuno with us) but I don’t think he’s as bad a coach as made out anyway.
he is walking into a very difficult job mind you. Bruce is going to get away with having set them up for relegation as they have been one of the worst teams in the division for both years he has been in charge and been very lucky to not be in proper relegation battles
He still essentially refused to play for Bournemouth at the end. I'm sure Howe will remember that. Then again he might have to use him until January and he can start flashing the cash.I think Fraser got dropped because he didn't want to sign a 3 month extension when Fraser knew he'd get a much longer / lucrative contract after the Covid season ended.
Fraser obviously didn't want to risk a career ending injury for the sake of a 3 month contract
Yep, Howe would be stupid to hold a grudge though and not play Fraser if he thinks Fraser is the best man for th jobHe still essentially refused to play for Bournemouth at the end.
