'Howe is exactly who we need' - fans on next manager

As news of Andoni Iraola's exit sinks in, we asked who you would want to replace him.

Here are some of your replies:

Nic: Eddie Howe is exactly who we need - he has the personal connection with Bournemouth, as well as the ability to maintain what Iraola started. It's looking like his time at Newcastle may be coming to an end, so it would be a great move!

Clive: I think someone with high-press mentality is a must. The side have adapted to the style, so changing the way of playing would be disastrous. So accordingly Marco Rose, Inigo Perez or if I could dream Rui Borges. The second important thing is to retain Tommy Elphick and Shaun Cooper, we pride ourselves on being different and retaining the Bournemouth narrative is imperative."

Keith: I would love to see Craig Bellamy at Bournemouth. He has so much knowledge and is a highly skilled coach having worked with so many great managers.

Katie: Out of all the links so far Marco Rose looks the most interesting and of a similar play style for the team!

Dennis: Perez for continuity of style or Rose on experience.

Marty: I would love to get Perez. He learned under Iraola and plays the same type of game. Our players are suited to that style of play so it should be a relatively seamless transition.
