Addison: Players need someone strong & aggressive
AFC Bournemouth captain Miles Addison has urged the Cherries board to not rush their appointment of a new manager.
The former Derby County defender has seen two managers sacked since he initially moved to the south coast seven months ago.
Addison was first signed by former manager Lee Bradbury, who signed the defender on loan. Addison made a few appearances under Bradbury, including his final game in charge against Oldham in March.
Addison then featured in all twenty games of Paul Groves tenure at the club, including his final game in charge on Tuesday against Crawley.
The club captain would like to see co-owners Eddie Mitchell and Maxim Demin appoint an experienced manager and hopes they will take their time to make the right appointment.
Addison told the Daily Echo...
"I would just urge the board and the directors to take their time with the decision. I don`t think a quick, hasty decision is going to help anyone at the moment.
"I think this group of players needs someone strong and very aggressive in the way they want to go about their work. I think it needs someone who is going to put down their foot from day one and show the group what they are about..."
'...The club is growing and a big club needs an experienced man at the top to lead it. Maybe someone who has been there and done it before would suit the criteria. It definitely needs someone with experience who can have a look at it from top to bottom and knows what needs to be done."

They also need to pick a new captain so they have more freedomt o pick the best CB pairing. (Cook and Zubar, IMO)

You know what, actually that was harsh. It took a huge pair to come out as a player and give a statement like that. Thanks Miles. (Still don't make the bench for me though!)

Wasn't that harsh, he really doesn't sound in form at the moment! But totally agree with Addison there

You will find that a new manager will probably give alot of these players a kick up the backside or the motivation they need to really kick on and your perceptions of the same players will change - miles might just be your player of the season come may! (besides stripping him of captaincy is abit harsh - we were nearly all in agreement that it was groves' tactics etc etc that were wrong & the players were the first casualty of this!!)
P.S. i fear for the future of our club & its youngsters if groves is put in charge of them!!

Addison has been a massive disappointment, both as a player and captain, I hope the next manager has the aggression to drop him.

^aggression??!
Addison had alot of promise when he first joined & most (if not everyone) on here thought it was a good signing & just what we needed, he started well enough but like almost the entire squad his form dropped & suffered as a result of groves' negative tactics - personally i think you're being v.harsh in looking for a scape goat in miles IMO & i for one hope he (especially) & the rest of the lads step it up now & give their all for the new boss & prove doubters like yourself wrong!

^ LOL I totally disagree. From his first match I thought he was awful and he has become progressively worse. From his first touch in a Bournemouth shirt it was clear that he was a big lumbering oaf who turns like a boat and is as comfortable on the ball as Stevie Wonder would be, wearing Jacque Cousteau's wet-suit back-to-front.

I agree with Richh81 but still wouldn't mind seeing the armband being passed onto James as he has far more expiernce.
