Bournemouth boss explains rejecting Peterborough job

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe rejected the chance to manage Championship outfit Peterborough, but is still fully committed to the Cherries. Howe said: "I have only just started the job here and it was a bit premature."

Speaking after his side's 1-1 draw at Bradford, Howe added: "I feel I get on very well with the players at Bournemouth.

"I've been at the club for a long time and I would be disappointed to leave - I am happy to stay. I was flattered to be asked about the Peterborough job. It proves you are doing something right. It is always nice to get recognition.

"I'm as ambitious as anyone to do well and to be successful, but what will happen is in the future. I'm just concentrating on the next game here."
