Only time will tell but if nothing else he is setting himself up for a decent job should he leave at the end of the season. Had some good wins over Watford and Swansea but lost out to Barnsley and Cardiff amongst others. Obviously if they don't go up they might lose some of their former PL players although they will still get PL money next year so maybe not. If they do and he stays he has a good eye for players Djiksteel, Brown, Bola, and Hall(Warnock said that was already agreed when he came in). He has brought Jordan( and O'Neill) in on the coaching staff so maybe he has learnt from his time here that he needed an old head. His assistant is a Bournemouth man through and through. Something that Mourinho always said he did get a local man in as assistant.Does it prove that?

Bevington and the rest of the scouting team get the credit for Browne, Bola and Dijksteel.
You just want a weekend on the South coast. Quite partial to an away weekend to Bournemouth myself.Woodgate basically admitted after our match against them that the scouts picked the players, not him. Add that to his comments whilst here when he threw them and the scouts under the bus when they weren't playing well.
Woodgate: "You rely on recruitment so I'd be lying if I said those signings were all down to me, I'm not going to say that. You have scouts in there who deserve credit, to be honest."
Don't have any issues with Woodgate, but I want Bournemouth to fail this season.
I'll wish him well at his next job.
Thought he mentioned them three is his presentation when he applied for the job as the players he want to get. Definitely said he had followed Bola's youth career at Arsenal.
So apparently or recruitment team did something right. That's the first time in a long while they have been given credit for anything.
