Not to long ago they were going back to the championship, look at them now, well deserved.
The question now is how long will Eddie Howe last, it’s not like he has experience dealing with top class players or expensive players, I’m sure the plan would be just to get safe and as soon as we are settled in a year or two get big names in and for that you need a much more experience manager.
No disrespect to Eddie hes doing a great job but hes bread and butter and what you need is a proven person who attracts top class before you start spending like theirs no tomorrow.
It all depends on how ambitious the owners want to be, they might just want stability in the league and still make money
