Eddie Had A Dream, but on Saturday evening, the majority of Cherries fans had a nightmare. Emotion has been raw this weekend after the news was announced that Eddie Howe has left AFC Bournemouth by mutual consent. The 42-year-old, who managed the Cherries in more than 450 games across two spells at Vitality Stadium spanning more than a decade, made the decision together with club officials on Saturday. In this podcast, Sam Davis is joined by Jeff Hayward and Neil Dawson to discuss the events of Saturday night and ruminate over the potential goings on at Dean Court. Plus we discuss what this means for the club as we move forward (we hope) into a new era with new management. We also hear from club commentator Kris Temple and match-day announcer Mike Botto - who voice their immediate thoughts. Whilst Eddie leaves, most of the rest will stay - for now, however the questions that are being asked span many topics, not least with conjecture about the guarantees Eddie was possibly not getting from the board, the absence of the legacy that Eddie wanted to build, plus the suggestions from John Williams that "something isn't right" - it seems there may be more than meets the eye. There's a lot to cover, and we'll do our best to tackle as much as we can, with more shows undoubtedly on the agenda in the next few weeks.
