Whats wrong with football?

[Abrahammer]

Nothing should take away from what Eddie Howe has done there.  People like to knock his achievements as it seems a popular thing to do. He’s done a great job, spent a few quid yes but who hasn’t in the top 2 leagues.

Yes I find the Bournemouth hatred (jealousy) odd but then I hate some other teams for no logical reason

A TEF tradition is the bitterness towards Bournemouth and Eddie Howe.....fair play to them I say, what we would have given to swap places with them over the past few seasons.

That's bizarre - the "cheating" comments are from fans of rival clubs, the "fairytale" shit (which I agree is bollocks) is from lazy pundits. It's not even the same people being "hypocritical",  much less Bournemouth who are the object of your hatred. And if it's hypocrisy you're after, we're every bit of guilty of the boom/bust economics as Bournemouth.

Sure, but we paid the price,  they bribed their way out of it.

Matt Ritchie is one of the main reasons for dislike. one of Swindons most likeable players

[swindonmaniac]

Not really,   it's the financial matters that they were involved in which turned out later to be much worse than ours but they got away with it.

Wasn't it Bournemouth players who flashed cash out of their bus during a fan protest outside the Arkells in the orange hat days?

Possibly Brighton tbf.

[mexico red]

It was Brighton players and when Brighton fans found out about it they acted by making sure the squad were informed of the recent history of Brighton. I was at with dean that night and understand the bitterness towards Albion. But there is a very large core of Brighton fans that are as decent as you get. Don’t forget quite a large number joined in our orange hat protest and offered advice in dealing with diamandis and co

I thought the Bournemouth hate* stemmed from them doing a collection outside the CG when they were on the verge of collapse, and then some of them laughed when they got Ritchie for a snip. It's not as if it was the same fans that were trying to save their club, so I don't get it personally, but I don't expect anyone to be rational about their feelings for other clubs. I still hate Bolton.

I was at the Withdean for the play-off semi too. Don't get that one either. Because they came on the pitch and took the piss? Didn't some of ours do that against Sheffield United? I think it was such a horrible loss that people took it to heart more. I was more pissed off that one of ours was crying at the end. Lifetime ban in my book!

*Aside from the 'fairytale' stuff, I get that but that's not Bournemouth specific and I think it goes deeper than that.

As stated before, its nothing to do with Ritchie, they commited fraud in the same way as we did, but they got away with it.
Statement rom 5th July 2018.

Bournemouth pay £4.75m to settle Financial Fair Play dispute

Eddie Howe celebrates Bournemouth winning the 2014-15 Championship
Manager Eddie Howe led Bournemouth to the Championship title in 2015 and they have been in the Premier League ever since
Bournemouth will pay £4.75m to the Football League to settle a Financial Fair Play (FFP) dispute, arising from their promotion to the Premier League in the 2014-15 season.

The Cherries had originally expected to be fined £7.6m after accruing huge losses as they won the Championship.

But they now have settled on a lower figure.

The EFL said the club "did not make any deliberate attempt to infringe the rules or to deceive".

No ,   Nor did we then.

[Super Hans]

I don't like them and I'm glad they're struggling. Even their crest is shit.

OK but I still hate Bournemouth for it

If the black-wray-dicanio episode had continued up the leagues for two or three more years then we'd have absolutely been seen as a fairy tale club the same way sky talk about bournemouth. Its all bolloks innit

Yep, if Black hadn't pulled out I'm sure we would have ended up in the PL within a couple of years like Bournemouth and - like Bournemouth -  would have been fucked when the almost inevitable relegation followed...

[Tails]

Not sure Black was rich enough to fund a Championship promotion push tbh. The clubs up there spend a ridiculous amount
