Iraola 'will want to be the guy to take Bournemouth forward'
On the latest episode of BBC Radio Solent podcast Cherries: Unpicked, former Bournemouth Joe Partington says Andoni Iraola will want want to usher the club forward as it progresses on and off the field. Earlier this week Bournemouth's technical director Simon Francis said he is "confident" of keeping Iraola at the club and Partington believes all the activity behind the scenes will make that more likely even while other clubs admire his work. Advertisement "The manager looking to stay is as big of a statement as any of the things he [Francis] said," Partington told Cherries: Unpicked. "The club is only as successful as it is right now off the back of his inclusion. "Obviously people will look back on what Eddie [Howe] has built and his role within everything that's going on at the moment but Iraola is the guy that is looking after the football club right now. "As this club progresses into all the infrastructure it's got, into the training ground, into possible European positions - if it's not this year I'm sure the club will now have big eyes on next season - Iraola is going to want to be the guy to do that. "Hopefully the advances of other clubs around the world at maybe higher levels or higher statuses in terms of size of clubs aren't enough to prise him away."

Spurs 'a difficult place to go in and do well' - Partington on Iraola links
Former Bournemouth defender Joe Partington spoke to BBC Radio Solent's Cherries: Unpicked podcast about reports linking Cherries boss Andoni Iraola with boss Ange Postecoglou has come under pressure in recent weeks - his side are 15th in the Premier League, seven spots below Bournemouth."Iraola is doing a wonderful job at Bournemouth," Partington said."He did a wonderful job at his previous club too, and I suppose the natural progression of a manager who does well at the clubs who aren't deemed as being 'bigger' clubs is being hunted by those bigger clubs."Speaking further, he said: "There are some clubs in the UK at the moment which are difficult to manage. Tottenham is one of them, Manchester United is another one. There are clubs underperforming."If you are one of those clubs who believes they should be near the top of the Premier League and you're looking at the clubs that maybe shouldn't, Bournemouth is probably one of them. And then you look at the manager [Iraola] and the impact he's had, not just on the pitch but certainly off it as well, you want that - that is something you seek to try to achieve."Maybe Tottenham are the club that Iraola believes is the opportunity he needs to showcase himself at the top of the game, but it's a very difficult place to go in and do well, as many other managers who have been very successful have found recently."Listen to the full episode on BBC Sounds
