Are Bournemouth exceeding expectations?

December 5th, 2018 13:46

Bournemouth are current 9th in the Premier League. This is a big achievement for a team that was only promoted for the first time to the Premier League three seasons ago. Bournemouth’s rise to the top has been very impressive. In 2009 they almost went into liquidation but were allowed to play in League Two with a 17-point deduction for their administering problems. It was a huge achievement that they were not relegated to non-league football. A local business man bought the club but without much expectation of how they would progress.

Eddie Howe, who played for the team, was given the managerial position after having to retire early due to injury at the age of 31. He had no previous experience, however the team finished second in League two and got Bournemouth promoted to League One. He then got offers from different clubs and went to manage Burnley. Bournemouth reached the playoff that year but lost to Huddersfield in penalties. The next season they had a terrible start and got rid of their coach. Howe came back with the team in 20th, however still got them promoted back to the Championship. Their first season they finished 10th which was a good result for such a small inexperienced team. The following season Howe took them further and won the Championship and reaching the Premier League for the first time in their history.

This is a huge achievement for such a small club, and for such a young manager. Howe has done a tremendous job in the 8 years he has been at the club. Their first season in the Premier League they finished 16th, after everyone thought that they would be relegated for sure. Last season they finished in 9th. This is such a huge achievement for a club that only 8 years ago were almost liquidated.

This season Bournemouth are one of the teams out of the top 6 who look very dangerous. Fraser, Wilson, and King have all stood out this season and, Wilson even earned his first England call last month. Bournemouth and Howe should be extremely proud that they have come this far, and that people acknowledge them as a strong team.

    Superb! Easy to purchase a ticket. I had a live customer service chat once, the staff member was so polite, helpful and informative. I loved the communication after purchase. On the match day they contacted me on WhatsApp if I want an upgrade on my tickets for free and after my confirmation I got my tickets within a minute. Great experience, thank you.

    This is the best and most trusted website to get your tickets to any world event. I have used them 3 times throughout the years, I have used other sites for football matches and they are so transparent and fast, the first time I used them was in 2018 for a Roma match and then made the mistake to use a different site for the PSG match in April and they were terrible, from the website, customer service and responses. this is the only site I trust and use!

    Bought 2 Club Wembley tickets less than 48 hours before the Championship Play Off Final. Good communication and tickets arrived the following day by email. No problems getting into the stadium and seats were great. Unfortunately my team’s performance was the only let down. Would definitely use this company again.

    It was easier than I thought to find a group of seven seats together and very simple to book. Communication was excellent, the tickets were sent quickly and were easy to access, so no problems at the stadium. Seats were good and we had a great view. Everything worked well and I'll definitely be back for tickets again - many thanks!

    I flew all the way from Australia to watch Arsenal vs Burnley. They have amazing customer service. They answered and replied to all my inquiries within a few minutes. I received the ticket on time, and the instructions and support were excellent. It was my first experience, and I will definitely use their service again in the future.
