4. -17 points
Howe’s hirst job in management was an ominous task of reviving a Bournemouth side that had been docked 17 points for entering administration and that had recently exited the FA Cup to non-league Blyth Spartans. Bournemouth were seven points adrift of safety when Howe took charge after 23 games, however, they then picked up 39 points from the remaining 23 to secure safety. Photo: Matthew Lewis
