Some bad luck with injuries this season, but ultimately we didn't score enough goals.
1 more point would have done it.
To be fair, I don't think your issue was scoring them. Your issue was preventing the other team from scoring. Bournemouth have always simply tried to outscore the opposition since they arrived in the PL. Exciting at times, but doomed from a long-term POV.1 more point would have done it.
19/20 - scored 40, let in 65
Regardless of the reason, the result is still the same sadly. I'm trying to forget 'that' Sheffield United goal...

...or 1 less point for Villa that they shouldn't have got in the game against Sheff Utd!
Mental that that's actually kept them up. I can see Bournemouth sueing if they can, much like Sheff Utd did years ago against West Ham.I do understand relegation is a bitter pill to swallow, specially when it’s so tight on the last day. You were very unlucky and have played very well the last few weeks.

So many proven incorrect decisions over the season that it would open the floodgates.The speculation is they’re talking about pursuing HawkEye the company?
Relegation is horrible, specially when it was all so close. Understandable to be finding it hard to accept and wanting to find someone else to blame,

Be interesting to see what the legal contract between HawkEye/Premier League/Clubs says about that kind of thing.Fluid said:
A complete farce if a legal case goes ahead in my view. You can't focus on just one dodgy decision across the whole of a season and say that's why you were relegated; there were still plenty of games to go after that incident occurred - and many dodgy incidents had occurred already earlier in the season - so to me the reality is the responsibility for Bournemouth going down lies with entirely with Bournemouth. I know in this modern world it seems as if there always has to be someone else to blame but there really isn't in this case and IMO Bournemouth would be better focussing their attention on getting out of the Championship next season; the chances of legal action keeping them in the Premier League amount to the square root of sod all and the only beneficiaries from a court case will be the lawyers (as usual!).JNW1 said:

I don't think one Bournemouth fan, player or board member is suggesting we should stay up and if legal action follows that would never be the aim. The article doesn't even suggest that, people are simply presuming it. The only thing to come out of the board room this week was the owner expressing his determination to get the club back to the PL, nothing about this incident. We didn't even make an issue out of it when it happened.
Would I support legal action, absolutely simply to stick it up the PL and all of this tech destroying the game . Thank Christ we don't have VAR next season.

That’s a shame from a fairytale perspective, but not a surprise. It’s a results game and the results haven’t been there for a while. The fact they’ve been punching well above their weight for the best part of the last decade is going to be forgotten. Not sure where his next stop will be though, as the relegation has spoiled his record a little.
I ca t see Bournemouth making their way back to the PL anytime soon though.

I don't think so - I think 5 seasons in the Premier League was a decent achievement. To sink back to permanent mid league mediocrity would spoil the record so I can see why he would wish to go - as I said before he has achieved all he realistically can. Its just a shame as the end of a great era for the club.
Watched the B’mth game last night and pleasantly surprised by what I saw after last season. Tindal has definitely got then playing some positive attacking football again, if I didn’t know better I’d think it was a Prem team against a league one which it would have been last season. Coventry admittedly were piss poor but B’mth steamrollered them in the second half. Top of the league , for today at least.
