Andoni Iraola has to be a nominee for Manager of the Season. Record Premier League points tally for Bournemouth in a single season, in his first season. No win in their opening nine league games, but just shows what happens when you give a manager time. Excellent coach

Oh dear Bournemouth FC #afcb

Over the past 21 Premier League matches, Bournemouth are FIFTH 🤯

What a job Iraola has done! 🍒

I know Andoni's style is all about organised chaos but bloody hell... that was manic. Still, LOVE IT. It's certainly never dull! Not quite getting it right from the off atm but the in-game corrections are quality. And the fight... what a group, seriously.🍒 #afcb

Richard Hughes will leave his role as Bournemouth’s technical director at the end of the season with his assistant and former club captain Simon Francis in the frame to take the job.

Welcome back, Junior ❤️

The Cherries legend is our new under-18s assistant coach.

Great afternoon with our ⁦Journalism at Bournemouth Uni⁩ alumni sharing their lived experiences and top tips with current students ⁦Bournemouth Uni⁩ Huge thanks to you all for being so generous with your time. Here with sports journalists ⁦Mark Briggs⁩ ⁦Daniel Davis⁩

Such shocking news. Mike was a giant of the industry and a real inspiration for so many. It was always a pleasure to read his work for online. Thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time. He’ll be truly missed.

⛔️🍒 Eddie Howe: “We didn’t make a move for Solanke, we can’t sign him”.

“I love Solanke, I signed him for Bournemouth and rate him very highly. But we have not made an inquiry for him and we don’t have the ability to sign a player of that level”.

He reads Murakami, noir novels and daydreams about owning a bookshop. He says playing was more stressful than management - something I've never heard before.
His energy, intelligence and fun are there in how Bournemouth play. Andoni Iraola interview. 🧵

Bournemouth midfielder Junior Traorè has had malaria but is now recovering at home.

Traorè fell ill after the international break & was hospitalised for a number of weeks. He’s since been discharged.

Traorè still struggling with the after effects & will undergo further tests.

That’s a crazy difference - night and day #afcb

Andoni Iraola, take a bow 👏 pivoting to a high octane, high pressing style in this amount of time is not easy but he’s done it with flying colours.

And he’s also helped Dom kick on. So pleased to see it’s clicked. Almost as if the club knew what they were doing… #afcb

SCENES 🍒 no one deserves that more than Dom, what a man #afcb

We are thankful to report that our captain Tom Lockyer has now begun a period of rehabilitation from the comfort of his own home after he was discharged from hospital on Wednesday.

Read the full statement 👇

The match has been cancelled with the score at 1-1. There is no way the players could be expected to carry on as if nothing has happened. All our best wishes to Tom Lockyer and his family #BOULUT

The Bournemouth staff doctor has confirmed that Tom Lockyer is 'alert & responsive'. #BOULUT

Our gaffer 😍

Three words... up the Chez #afcb 🍒

Really pleased for Gary O'Neil. Top man. Deserves that.
