Anything is Possible

Anything Is Possible is the inside story of Bournemouth's remarkable Championship winning season and tells how the smallest club in the division defied bookmakers, pundits and the Football League to emerge triumphant from a fiercely fought promotion contest and gate-crashed the richest league in the world. But that is just the end of the story! Only six years earlier, the club was on the brink of liquidation following a series of financial crises and points deductions. The club took a last-ditch gamble on former player Eddie Howe, a 31-year-old former player with zero management experience. It paid dividends and some, as Howe sowed the seeds for an astonishing rise up the leagues. The club rose from League Two to the Championship in four seasons, successes made all the more remarkable as Howe spent 20 months of that period managing Burnley. In 2014/15, Howe eclipsed his previous successes as he led a squad described as 'misfits' by captain Tommy Elphick to the Championship title in the final seconds of the season. Anything is Possible is the quite astonishing story of how a club on the brink of extinction rose through the divisions and reached the promised land of the Premier League.
