Eddie

A

Audenshaw Cherry

UTC Legend
Ahead of almost certain speculation about various managerial opportunities soon to become available, when is his current contract due to expire?

Did I miss (I hope ) that he had signed a new one in the summer?

:utc:
 
how worried should we be? doesnt eddie have habit of being pretty relaxed about these things?
 
You are fake news and I claim my £5. Howe & JT signed an extension in September 2018, and the previous expiry was 2020 before that.

Can you show where he signed it? All I can see are rumours he was set to be offered one to double his wage.

edit: we had this same topic a while back and I asked the question but I can’t remember if it was answered.
 
Daily Mirror September 2018


Eddie Howe will double his money with a bumper deal at Bournemouth.

The 40-year-old’s new £4million-a-year contract will see him catapulted to join the highest-paid domestic bosses in the Premier League.

Howe, who has been in charge at the Vitality Stadium for six years during his second spell at the club and eight years in total, was tied down following a deal he signed in 2015.

Since then, though an increase in income from TV rights has filtered down to the players and Howe will be able to take advantage of that during talks.

Eddie did say just the other day that he is looking forward to working with players in the new training complex in the future, he has always said that he wants to leave a legacy so would be strange for him to leave at this point. All the jobs being quoted are poisoned chalices also, whoever goes in at Tottenham will not match what Poch has achieved and a fairly sizeable chunk of the core of their squad is set to depart come the end of the season. Man U are miles off being anywhere near what their fans would deem acceptable, it’s a massive risk to whoever takes that one on next, they need to literally revamp the entire squad aside from 5 or 6 players. Everton is an interesting one, but again what are there expectations? Many a bright young manager has gone there started well and been lauded as the next big thing only not to build on that early promise. I think that Eddie has got it as good as any manager at this level and would have no reason to want to leave. I get that ppl might on the face of it think how could he possibly turn down Man United biggest club in the world etc to stay at Bournemouth but to those people I would ask what is David Moyes up to these days? One poor spell at a top club and you very quickly become stale, Moyes was consistently lauded as the best up and coming manager for many years and now he’d be lucky to get a championship club. I’d like to think EH is smart enough to realise that staying put is the best thing for him.

Averaging a manager a year presently.
 
My guess is that we're safe for another year:

Everton: too far north and looking flaky right now;

Tottenham: highly centralised regime under tight Levy control ... not Eddie's bag;

ManU: immense pressure, together with dodgy, self-serving owners. And surely they'll want a EuroMan with trophies to brandish.

BUT ... England in a couple of seasons?? Could be irresistible for Our Man.
 
Eddie is the longest-serving PL manager right now and probably nobody else has the same overall influence over his club that Eddie does.
He's got a team that's maintaining PL status, young, and improving, flashy new infrastructure in the pipeline, better job security than he'd have anywhere else, and a fanbase that loves him.
Plus family.
If I were him I wouldn't leave under current conditions.

See, I agree with this. In most jobs, not just PL football, the coach just has to play the players given. He is blamed if he loses, but just another voice when adding/taking away players etc...
Here, Eddie is the big fish in the pond. It would be very hard for anyone under the owner to say no to him here.
