With Eddie you know he never says anything lightly and that he means what he says. I am sure he would have chosen his words carefully and it really underlines how happy he is in his position at AFCB. Even more pleasing is his comments that he gets on well with Maxim Demin and knows where he stands with him. It sheds a little more light on the relationship and Mr Demin, who has been a closed to the public. The regular dialect interests me as I would be keen as any AFCB fan to know how long they talk for and whether most of the time is taken up talking about personnel, budgets or recent performances etc. It's probably all that and more, but it is important that Eddie Howe keeps Maxim happy and that they are on the same page if the club is to go forward.
There's plenty for AFCB fans to be happy about at the moment. |
Such opportunities do come with a price. Lewis Grabban was the subject of a major transfer saga last week. The Grabban deal was bubbling for a few weeks, but did not affect his performances. It's credit to Grabban that he comes out of the week having shown great committment to AFCB.
The aim now is for Maxim and Eddie can't provide the building blocks for a more sustained and powerful challenge in the Championship. We have seen Eddie build a side before at Bournemouth and at Burnley. If he is given time, which is what he wants and the budget to compete at Championship level, it is likely that fans will be entering the most successful period of the club's history right now.
