After sacking Eddie Howe in the Summer, you could be the new manager of AFC Bournemouth and possibly lead them back into the Premier League and build a legacy. Media predicts promotion to PL, Bournemouth are predicted a top-two finish. Can you make it happen? 

Blackburn Rovers

Media Prediction: 18th

Blackburn Rovers have a great squad with players like Lewis Holtby, Adam Armstrong and the high prospect on loan from Liverpool, Harvey Elliott. 

The challenge with Blackburn Rovers would be to first get back promoted to the Premier League and then recreating their Premier League success like they did in the 90s.
