A Question to those that believe we are rebuilding for next season

[imforeverqpr]

When Warnock was first appointed as our manager there was an immediate change in our play in the sense of rebuilding for our promotion season all them years ago.

Apart from selling Austin buying league 1 ST and League 2 GK where is the sense of rebuilding to compete in the PL at the highest level?

[Itsonlyagame]

Is the premier league really the be all and end all of football as we know it ?
Is playing in any other division pointless ?

[imforeverqpr]

What is our club a 2nd tier champ club really?

[Ed the Ball]

are bournemouth really a premier league club?

The team that Warnock had was good enough to win the Championship but not good enough for the premier, and Warnock did not do much rebuilding for the premier, SWP, Traore and Barton all on high wages spring to mind

Bournemouths team is full of ex league 1 players. So what. Doesn't matter what league they are in, if they are good enough sign em up. Matt Ritchie they signed from Swindon

[Fordy]

And Harry Arter from Woking

The disappointment of yesterdays result proves the size of the job Jimmy Foyd has on his hands we have quite a few players not ready for the championship never mind about the prem, the 1st job on his hands is to build a descent championship side before he even attempts to think about a premier side

Is yesterday's result really that disappointing? I'd say it only seems that way because we were winning for long stretch of it. 4 points from 6 against Wolves is something I'd take at the start of the season.

NW/the board did everything to get us promoted to the Premiership (just like Redknapp/the board). There was no real thought/preparation/planning etc for life in the Prem... I get the feeling with JFH our aim is 1 day to get promoted, but 1st and foremost lets be prepared for it, hence the type of signings we're making

Correct. He's inherited a mess. Some players are overpaid and jaded, some too green, some too old, some just not good enough. This season is just the beginning of the overhaul, not the end of it. I'd say next season should still be about getting the balance right, with a view to promotion the season after that.

At the moment we are. The point I was making is that just because we are not in, or showing immediate signs of returning to the premier league, does that mean it's all meaningless and a failure.
You'd think being in the championship was akin to having leprocy the way some fans are carrying on.

"He inherited a mess".... how many farking times we going to say this!!

... Agree with what youre saying by the way Hubs. Again the new manager is left with a mess to clear up before he can begin to work properly (high earners not wanting to put a shift in!!) And by the time he's sorted out the mess the fans have turned on him before he's even had a chance to do things 'his way'!!

[Ed the Ball]

And Harry Arter from Woking

my point exactly

This. We need to rebuild the whole club from scratch.
