We have mentioned the madness surrounding the current employment of football managers on this
site before in recent weeks, but today there was a rare outbreak of common sense as Bournemouth's
Eddie Howe decided, after much speculation and tribulation, to stay with the club that gave him his
chance in management and turn down the overtures of Crystal Palace and Charlton Athletic.

The departure of Owen Coyle 12 months ago has so far proved to be too big an obstacle for
Burnley to recover from. Since the Scot left for the bright lights of Bolton, the club has slipped
from its short-lived stint among the country's elite and back into the Championship, and an
underwhelming first half of this season led to Coyle's successor, Brian Laws, being relieved of his
duties.

New Burnley gaffer Eddie Howe – who is, despite his sixth-form schoolboy looks, all of 33
years old – poses for the obligatory "wearing my new club's scarf proudly" shot. Howe is a fine
young manager who will one day manage in the Premier League (I'd wager), and Burnley's gain is
Bournemouth's loss.
