It’s a guy from the Cherries Red Channel YouTube channel He’s pretty damning on our new manager, and perhaps a misconception of how well he did on the South Coast. Also concerning comments on style. Dedicated fan channels tend to be pretty accurate in my view. |  |

How many players have come to us with bad opinions over the years and turned into heroes? At the end of the day he kept Bournemouth up in his first season which was unexpected and could be said he laid the foundations for where they are now. I can see that happening here, he keeps us up, maybe by the skin of our teeth, we start poorly in 27/28 and he goes early on. |  |

I keep saying that every manager we would have employed comes with failures, otherwise they are either a.) leading PL managers that we cant get to b.) a risk from a poorer league. We cannot understate the importance of the stability that ITFC have continually preached around the manager, transfers, strategy etc, that should be the sort of environment that allows managers to breathe and do their best work. Maybe GON will too. |  | |  |
| This new KOA podcast/video of the Bournemouth YouTube fan channel… on 22:31 - Jun 29 with 2435 views | Bellevue_Blue | I don't think it was at all concerning. He basically just said he thought other managers would have kept that squad up in a division where Leeds/ Leicester & Soton all had bad years. It might be true but it also might not be true. What I would say is it's very easy to be disparaging about the manager who kept you up when you're now playing great football and competing for Europe. The simple fact is, that wouldn't be the case if it was not for GON. He's a far more experienced manager now and If we trend in even a vaguely similar direction then this appointment will have been a huge huge success. |  | |  |

We've seen with Mckenna how a manager can grow - it wasn't plain sailing for KMc remember, but for that Sheff Weds game, his tenure may well have been shorter at FPR. Sliding Doors and all that. O'Neil is a young manager who has twice shown he can keep a side up in not easy circumstances. He seems to like the tactical side of the game and did a ok job in France. Maybe it's perfect timing for both he needs us like we need him and both can grow together. He'll never have a better opportunity to build something so good luck . He'll need it and us to take us where we all want to be. |  | |  |

This season, O'Neil will have virtually all of the summer transfer window, plus a full pre-season to set up his squad. * 22nd Aug 2022 - 31st Jan 2023 P17 W3 D5 L9 0.82ppg 1st Feb 2023 - 28th May 2023 P18 W7 D1 L10 1.22ppg |  |

I agree with this. I am/was underwhelmed but we must "support" the team and give GON a fair go. We have no chance of survival if he is not well supported by us fans. |  | |  |

Please don’t bring some balance or nuance into this debate. It’s really not that kind of place. Pep was available and Ashton took the lazy safe option. End of. |  | |  |

"At the end of the day he kept Bournemouth up in his first season which was unexpected and could be said he laid the foundations for where they are now." Yes, but Bournemouth fans now have massive delusions of grandeur ever since they cheated their way - financially and on the pitch - to promotion in 2015. |  |

I'm a little disappointed that Stabers didn't manage to shoe-horn in the phrase 'technical football'(pr lack of it) to his list of worries. |  |

Oh come on BB, I think that the use of ‘technical’ on the board has been validated for a decade now! See McKenna. |  |

Oh Mullet - I have posted plenty of positive thoughts on ONeil appointment. But for me you can’t ignore some of these points of view, of people who know more about O’Neil than us. I’ll be backing GON all the way. This is a 8.5 maybe 9/10 first presser - impressed. BACK THE LEADER by unstableblue 23 Jun 16:38I’ve been somewhat sceptical about this appointment.
But given the lack of any credible alternatives and given how well he has articulated his plans and his ethos AND what is clearly an early understanding of Ipswich and Suffolk.
I’m impressed.
I’m also sensing that the process has had a depth we didn’t give the club credit for.
We’ll only make 17th if we come to gather now and back O’Neil.
I also liked what I’m hearing about culture and player relationships.
And finally there is a likability and intelligent coming through very strongly.
Excellent questions Phil, best of the lot. Lack of cheese aside.

Exactly - the Semenyo interview is a huge plus. And I was speaking to a Bournemouth fan who was upset with many others when he was dismissed after keeping them up - having said that the new manager appointment was also seen as inspired. I think some of the Wolves fan and pundit negativity relates to him losing the dressing room, he won’t have some of those characters of culture here. But you also can’t ignore this stuff. |  |

I get you like to have a stockpile of posts showing you were always on the “right side” of the masses etc rather than an actual opinion of your own, but listening to these pricks? The more unlikeable Brighton? Pathetic |  |

He's on a bit of a hiding to nothing though imo given the challenge this season whoever the manager would have been. |  |
