Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Eddie Howe from season one.

What Eddie achieved at Bournemouth was remarkable and when I spent an hour with him at that club, it was easy to see that he would go on to bigger things. He has a singular football mind: analytical, but also reflective. He started his managerial career operating under a transfer embargo, determined to improve the players he had. If you listen to this and try to put yourself in his dressing room, you can visualise how he achieves results.
