Eddie Howe’s involvement in the £32 million ‘world-class’ Bournemouth transfer was confirmed by PIFF, as Newcastle United’s £200 million investment was also authorised.
Bournemouth’s players arrived at Canford Magna, a new “world-class performance centre,” following the March international break in anticipation of their FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City at home on Sunday (4:30pm kick-off). Eddie Howe, the head coach of Newcastle United,
was instrumental in the approval of the training site plans at Bournemouth during his tenure as the Cherries’ manager in 2019. In 2020, Howe departed Bournemouth after guiding the club from the depths of League Two to the Premier League. The following year, he assumed the role of Newcastle’s head coach and has since guided the club from the bottom of the Premier League to the Champions League, as well as ending a seventy-year drought for a domestic trophy.
The training site of AFC Bournemouth has been officially inaugurated. Bournemouth has shared a video on social media that depicts the arrival of players at the new state-of-the-art training complex, which is estimated to have cost approximately £32 million. On a 57-acre site at Canford Magna, it comprises 16 pitches, an enclosed dome, medical, fitness, sports science, and rehabilitation facilities, offices,
and a press conference theatre. The site will serve as the basis for the Academy, first team, and women’s teams.”I do not anticipate that I will be involved in Newcastle’s training ground plans,” Howe stated. “That will be the responsibility of other individuals to design.” I was all over, and I don’t mean that as a negative; there simply wasn’t the infrastructure that is present here.
You have to consider the history of Bournemouth. We had transitioned from League Two to the Premier League. “I will be largely in the background, listening to the experts involved in the training ground and stadium decisions, and, hopefully, gazing in awe at the progress we will make. This is a very different club.”
