BREAKING NEWS: Howe takes training as uncertainty grows

EDDIE Howe took training at Gawthorpe this morning but Burnley refused to comment on reports that their manager was set for a return to Bournemouth.

The Clarets insist their position has not changed since offering a hands off warning to the Cherries last week - but it is understood the South Coast outfit are stepping up efforts to land their man.

Talks are believed to be ongoing between the two clubs, with compensation understood to be a factor, as the Clarets are left in limbo.

Burnley declined to comment on the mounting speculation this morning, but a growing number of sources close to the club believe this could be Howe's last training session at the helm.

Bye, bye Eddie, your influence has been most underwhelming.

If he wants to leave because his wife and baby are in Bournemouth and don't want to move "up north" then let him go. Its a brave decision on his part to put family before career but hes young enough to be given another chance in a few years when his family is older.
.
Hes done an average job for us, made a couple of decent signings but I don't think he is any better than other managers out there.

Laughable...? Hmm should he depart will you not be pleased to see the back of him? in 3 months you'd probably sack him any way and end up paying him compensation.... Your likely to receive a sizeable compensation package and can re employ your beloved O Coyle.

Money & more importantly location talks even in League One! There's a reason behing Harry Redknapp living in Poole (very close to Bmouth) it's stunning compared to the grim north. Look forward to beating you next year in the Championship with Howe at the helm.

Retribution for constantly stealing all our best players in the past seasons namely W Elliot!

I'm not a Burnley fan - infact I'm a Rovers fan but you are WAY outta line you southern ponce.

AFC Bournemouth is a DISGRACE of a football club - its gone bust, god knows how many times - stiifed the tax payer out of millions of pounds of revenue (how many times have BFRC or BFC failed to pay our taxes - NEVER) and a southern nob comes on here telling us how wonderful it is to live in a glorified old folks home - do one you tory, granny $hagger !!!
Let's correct a few details here. AFC Bournemouth has never gone bust. It has been in administration twice, but we're in good company, as nearly 50% of the current members of The Football League have encountered insolvency issues at some point in their history. The figures involved, however, in comparison to "top-flight" clubs, have been tiny - yes, a lot of money for a small club perhaps, but a month's wages at Manure. It simply goes to highlight the disgraceful differential in the disposal of TV money throughout the whole of English football. AFCB is not a disgrace of a football club, but I will not deny that it has been poorly run in the past. When Eddie Howe was appointed manager, it wasn't so much the club's choice but the fact that there was virtually no other member of staff at the club to do the job, and no money to bring anyone else in. The club then had to operate for a season and a bit on a full embargo, and all finances were monitored by the FL. AFCB has certainly not stiffed the taxpayer out of millions - it never owed that much in the first place.
I'm not going to be drawn into a slanging match about how nice a place one is to live in compared with another. I know full well that there are some stunning areas in the NW of England, and a lot of very interesting places too. However, next time you're in this area, enjoy a Friday or Saturday night out in "sleepy old Bournemouth" and you might just revise your opinion.
PS, I'll never vote Tory as long as there's breath in my body.

I'd like Eddie back but, I've always thought Burnley were a decent bunch of fans so, I'm not going to gloat if he does return.

Also, you may not vote tory but the vast majority of people down in that area of the country do - FACT !

You are after all a 'good' bunch up there, and I wish BFC all the very best in attempting to return to the big time, I hope you get Steve Kean or Coyle.

However on your political rant cry me a river!

reinforces the observation 'grim' no jobs leading to house repossession leads to further social unrest/ crime further degrading the area. Do you blame a young manager for moving back to his wife and child?? Life can be about more than football sometimes

Leave politics to one side, everybody with a grain of intelligence knows that all parties are s***e and that government should be dissolved forthwith with Kate Middleton put into the position of 'protectorate of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and its continental shelf'.

By the way Bournemouth is anything but a grannies playground - chance would be a fine thing, nowadays the streets are lined with drunks, litter, violent p*ss heads on a fri-saturday night, with the Uni expanding its digs to nearly every building in a 5 mile radius you would be hard pressed to find anybody over the age of 40 enjoying a peaceful promenade on any night let alone the weekend.

Yes, I agree previous regimes have avoided paying their full dues to HMRC, but the blame for that lies firmly at the door of those in control at the time, and thankfully they are no longer involved at AFCB. The current ownership have had to sell players by the dozen to clear arrears, and keep up to date, which we are told they are doing, and seeing as the FL are supposedly still overseeing our finances, we guess affairs must now be in order. My point is that the amounts in question with a small club like AFCB are peanuts compared with the likes of Pompey and Leeds. I know that doesn't make it right, but to label our Club as a Disgrace for not paying "millions" of pounds in unpaid tax is way wide of the truth, and a trivial amount in the grand scale of UK tax evasion.
Anyways, good luck to t'Rovers, and hope your chicken pluckin' owners
a) keep BRFC taxes up-to-date and
b) make the right appointment for your next manager.

Sorry to inform you, but Bournemouth is far from an OAPs home.If you had a decent education you'd know that.Let us 'Southern Ponces' enjoy or wonderful beaches & clean air.You enjoy your run down old mill town & grey buildings,clogs,whip

There is no way Kean would `resign` unless he was certain to get a bumper pay out either in or out of court. He stitched Rovers up good and proper, just like a big fat juicy chicken ready for the oven.

Would Coyle go back to poor little Bonleh?

He left Dadless FC to go to Bewton because of lack of ambition, and ol' Brenden's spending even less on them now.

Good to see that nice Mr Howe moving up in the world though. Although I would have thought that he'd have held out for the Brighton job to become available.

Seems a bit more (ahem) 'up his alley'.

Not winding you up but if Howe leaves, Im in no doubt Kean will apply. Firstly because he still thinks he can manage a football team and is worthy of being paid large amounts of money and secondly because he will think he can get revenge on Rovers but he is wrong on all counts

Kean without doubt would apply for the the Burnley job because in his deranged opinion he would be able to show Rovers what we've missed out on if we'd only give him more time and backed him. The grim reality is that although the enemy, Burnley Football Club don't have owners known as Venkys and therefore wouldn't even consider old rhino skin for the managers job there. Although the thought of Kean going to Burnley is hilarious..... surely not?

Money & more importantly location talks even in League One! There's a reason behing Harry Redknapp living in Poole (very close to Bmouth) it's stunning compared to the grim north. Look forward to beating you next year in the Championship with Howe at the helm.

Yer talkin tripe yer gret southern puff. Bournemouth is fulla grannies and is bland. There is a reason it has the biggest Co-op undertakers in Britain. Die of old age or die of boredom - take your pick !

Looks good to me.
BRFC compensation to Steve Kean: £0.

The weasel walked away from the job (and his £600k contractual payout).

Yes, he's hoping that he'll get more in court, but then this is the same man that said we have 'no chance' of getting relegated under him, and even spoke of us playing Champions League football under him...
There is no way Kean would `resign` unless he was certain to get a bumper pay out either in or out of court. He stitched Rovers up good and proper, just like a big fat juicy chicken ready for the oven.
Kean is desperate for money, what ever if any he gets from Blackburn will be burnt up paying Allardyce for slander

I'm not a Burnley fan - infact I'm a Rovers fan but you are WAY outta line you southern ponce.

AFC Bournemouth is a DISGRACE of a football club - its gone bust, god knows how many times - stiifed the tax payer out of millions of pounds of revenue (how many times have BFRC or BFC failed to pay our taxes - NEVER) and a southern nob comes on here telling us how wonderful it is to live in a glorified old folks home - do one you tory, granny $hagger !!!
Sorry to inform you, but Bournemouth is far from an OAPs home.If you had a decent education you'd know that.Let us 'Southern Ponces' enjoy or wonderful beaches & clean air.You enjoy your run down old mill town & grey buildings,clogs,whip

pets & ludicrous accent.
Why wouldnt anyone want to live & work in a thriving holiday hotspot,with the best beaches in Britain?No need for us totake a coach to Blackpool assuming that your having a 'cultural visit'.
"a thriving holiday hotspot,with the best beaches in Britain?"

You're welcome to 'em mate. We have aeroplanes in the north that take us to sun drenched places all over the globe.

I've lived in Bournemouth. Stop flattering yourself, it really isnt that special.

Your accent however, now that really is special.

ENGLISH BY BIRTH.

NORTHERN BY THE GRACE OF GOD

Erm 'the grim north'

Having lived in the South I know where I would rather live and its not there.

The main reason is the people - generally complete t*ssers

Let's correct a few details here. AFC Bournemouth has never gone bust. It has been in administration twice, but we're in good company, as nearly 50% of the current members of The Football League have encountered insolvency issues at some point in their history. The figures involved, however, in comparison to "top-flight" clubs, have been tiny - yes, a lot of money for a small club perhaps, but a month's wages at Manure. It simply goes to highlight the disgraceful differential in the disposal of TV money throughout the whole of English football. AFCB is not a disgrace of a football club, but I will not deny that it has been poorly run in the past. When Eddie Howe was appointed manager, it wasn't so much the club's choice but the fact that there was virtually no other member of staff at the club to do the job, and no money to bring anyone else in. The club then had to operate for a season and a bit on a full embargo, and all finances were monitored by the FL. AFCB has certainly not stiffed the taxpayer out of millions - it never owed that much in the first place.
I'm not going to be drawn into a slanging match about how nice a place one is to live in compared with another. I know full well that there are some stunning areas in the NW of England, and a lot of very interesting places too. However, next time you're in this area, enjoy a Friday or Saturday night out in "sleepy old Bournemouth" and you might just revise your opinion.
PS, I'll never vote Tory as long as there's breath in my body.
Piston.

Your reasoned submission has no place on a mud-slinging, foul-mouthed, bigoted, moron-infested, rant-page like this one.

Doubly so if you don't vote Conservative, (or better yet, UKIP).
