Hard to say but with his low profile and loyalty (so far) with Eddie Howe, I suspect that he will stick with it. A lot will depend on how they respond and how quickly they get challenging for promotion again. They were pretty sensible on the way up their signings, no big time charlie's.
Eddie Howe also at a crossroads in his career, staying at Bournemouth and having a bottom half finish will not do his stock much good.

Will probably boil down as to whether he thinks he can afford it again!
He's Russian isn't he? He'll be able to afford it

Bit like Tisdale with us, Needs a fresh challenge maybe?

Only difference is that he had that go at Burnley which didn't go too well. Might make him think twice even if it would be best for him.

That was years ago, He's learnt a lot since then

Yes and in 2 seasons he took Burnley to 8th and 13th in the Championship.

I heard the rumour earlier this season that he actually wanted out and was quietly looking to sell the club, so maybe he has been cutting back on his investment ? Haven't heard much recently about their quest for a new stadium /or site recently ? Has any information filtered over the border into Hants DB ?

Not heard anything about a possible new stadium being built Coles, TBH where they are is the best place, Loads of room to build a new stadium, Just needs a decent access road to the ground but the park might have a preservation order in it, They did redevelope the old Dean Court Turned the ground 90 degrees about 15 years back. Mind to completely knock down and rebuild is another matter and there are some quite well to do people in that area who might object.

Just lifted this from the BBC Football page, The owner saying he's committed to the club and looking to a PL return quickly.

Might be sooner than we think if they do go for a legal challenge and win.
They have a valid point. That was a shocking decision. Chances are it won’t go anywhere though.
