Decline and Administration

Bournemouth's survival as a club was very much in doubt in 2008.

Things got worse rapidly, and they were almost not allowed to compete in the league due to insolvency rules and were deducted points from the get-go and managers came and went.

That was until former player Eddie Howe, still just 31, took over and local businessman, Adam Murry brought the club. With these two new faces in the fold, they managed to stay up by the skin of their teeth in the final game of the season, where countless fans watching Bournemouth on TV breathed a sigh of relief.

Rise to Premier League/Premier League Period

This was the beginning of a golden era in the club's history and just one year later, they had achieved promotion to the League One. Although Howe left, they managed to keep momentum and maintained their position in this league for two years until Howe returned.
