Hughes will be big loss for Bournemouth
A big story broke at Bournemouth this week, with confirmation their technical director, Richard Hughes, is to move on at the end of the season. Aside from Eddie Howe, arguably no individual has been as influential in shaping the club in the top flight as Hughes, the former midfielder who played under and then worked closely with Howe. It was Hughes who drove the appointment of Andoni Iraola, who has impressed after a tough start, and is the architect behind their recruitment, including the eye-catching arrivals of exciting talents such as Alex Scott, Milos Kerkez and Illia Zabarnyi. Hughes, who is highly respected across the game, will hand over the baton to Simon Francis, another former player, who has worked as his assistant for the past three years. Such joined-up thinking has been in short supply at bottom club Sheffield United for a while. Ben Fisher

It’s a very good move for Hughes and his family.

For us it’s good that he’s moving to fish in a different size pond, so it’s not like any Bournemouth proprietary information will be all that much good to Liverpool.
