It was like a Year 7 cowering before a Year 9
You were bankrolled up the leagues, you're no plucky underdogs.
You should go up this season, indeed you'd have stayed up if you gave Howe the boot at the right time.
Agree broadly with your assessment on us, we gave you too much respect even though you player for player were better than us.
Thought behind what you write. Jeez. Have you seen how much we got for Ake, Wilson and the parachute payment. What income have you had?Nice to have a tycoon help that jump and underwrite obscene losses chasing the dragon
There is no rugby down here...nothing / zilch ...naff all .
We have a crap stadium with limited capacity thats been sold out for six years.

Most of what he says is bollocks.

We did but covered it on the millions we got in the premiership. Come on let's be realistic.I could of sworn you spent 10s of millions on shite Liverpool reserve team players.

The Russian was at least £100m in by the time you got promoted, you got a FFP fine didn't you? Never mind where you are after £300m sky income. You still had a massive deficit in the last accounts despite £110m in Sky money.We did but covered it on the millions we got in the premiership. Come on let's be realistic.

Didn't say you supported a team that played at your ground.

Maybe but I'm right about these tinpot clowns.
Sold out for 6 years! Thank you for proving point
eh !
no egg chasers down here in any way shape or form...wrong County mate
To be fair, they're in a decent position this year. Lack of crowds won't hurt them too much as it's a tiny percentage of their revenue. They have to go back up this year though otherwise suspect they'll drop back to their natural level. No issue with Bournemouth. Good little club who've had some investment which saved them from obscurity. Unfortunately it's an example of everything that's wrong with modern football (I'm sure their fans won't agree though) - money rules everything.
I’m talking about the ‘rise’ not the annual £100 million TV cheque and inflated prices for English players. That’s the problem with small time shithousers that find a tycoon and get into the ‘best league in the world’.
Let's not let facts get in the way of a good yarn from a former Southampton fan.
Take me back to pre-premier league days any day. Much more competitive. Promoted teams could actually go on and compete. It wasn't all about money and business back then.
Didn't they buy Wilson from us for more than our whole team cost? Grassroots as fuck.

Now it's about giving teams so much money they can make a profit even if nobody went to the games. Then trying to persuade the audience that Bournemouth v Burnley in front of Allan and Lawrence is the game of the century
Yeah that and the 90m XI and the large parachute payments to top up the oligarch. They are a good team but they are everything that is wrong with football like you said.
As Derby showed you can pull a number out of the ether. As Man City show every season you can make up bullshit sponsorship agreements. More teams get away with this than get their fingers burned
The rise was about £35 million.....feck all in the big scheme of things and dont pretend for a minute you wouldnt try that cunning stunt(if it came your way of course)
Education time AFC BOURNEMOUTH: How much did the first XI cost and how much are they worth now? |I’m talking about the ‘rise’ not the annual £100 million TV cheque and inflated prices for English players.

True but how many established PL teams have done it without?
Used to gall when Leicester won the PL & it was all "plucky little Leicester" & "showing the big spending teams how its done".
They've been bankrolled by billionaires for years & wrote off tens of millions of debt when going into admin, forcing smaller companies out of business without an ounce of guilt. They even stiffed their stadium builders who were going to be involved in the Ricoh project & they withdrew from stadium construction completely & subsequently went out of business.
They're the main reason that punishments such as points deductions were then brought in for entering administration yet the media hold them up as this fantastic, morally whiter than white club.
How we got to premiership!4 years ago?
King joined in the Premier LeagueHow we got to premiership!
