We asked for your views on Bournemouth's decision to appoint head coach Marco Rose as Andoni Iraola’s successor in the summer. We wanted to know if it was a good fit and what the priorities are.
Here are some of your comments:
Peter: The board got it right in appointing Andoni Iraola, when the pundits thought Gary O’Neil was harshly treated. We need a manager to take us into Europe with a high press, Marco Rose fits the bill. But let’s give him time. Bill Foley is a shrewd judge of character. My money is on him getting it right again. Success has to be challenging for Europe and getting to the later stages of domestic cups.
Herbert: Superb appointment.
Graham: He has the credentials to keep the club on the trajectory it is already on. Let’s hope we finish in a European position and start a new adventure for the Cherries.
Richard: While I’m sad Iraola is leaving, I’m pleased the appointment of Rose has been a swift one and his style of play sounds an exciting one. He will need time to bed in and assert his ideas but onwards and upwards for my club! 17 years ago we needed a Steve Fletcher half volley to save us from relegation to the Conference so I’m happy to continue to ride this rollercoaster of being a Cherries fan!
Malcolm: We trust the recruitment department; whether players or manager they seem to get it right. Marco will have plenty of time to see the club and players before he starts which is better than coming in later. I am sure the fans will get behind him and continue supporting him and the team as they have done with Andoni.
Dave: SUPERB.
Terry: Don’t really know him but he has won trophies and been in Europe so there’s some pedigree and in the recruitment team we trust. Hope he insists on keeping Junior Kroupi for at least one more season. Welcome Marco.
