Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Bournemouth

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market

Business is business: Adrien Truffert goes

Flamengo paid $49.7M and Bournemouth took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Market

Bournemouth say no — this time

The offer from Cruzeiro for Alex Scott was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Simon Moore breaks a bone — 19 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 19 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $49.7M sale of Adrien Truffert

He is going to Flamengo, the club has $49.7M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Squad

Juanlu signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Juanlu and Bournemouth agree another 5 years.

Squad

Marcus Tavernier in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bournemouth this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Jonny Stuttle

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

David Brooks sends Bournemouth past Birmingham

It finished 2‑0, and it was David Brooks’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Bournemouth.

In brief
