Well, not entirely inaccurate.

They did survive a 17 point deduction against the odds to survive relegation to the conference, they were minutes away from administration and survived and the lazy 'they're rich and they've bought success' is a bit of a non argument when you consider that Paul Groves had the same resources at his disposal as Eddie Howe and made a complete hash of it. They've also had horrendous injuries this season and have put in a monumental performance to stay up.

Not being biased because my wife is a Bournemouth fan or anything but the whinging about their success makes us sound too much like Leeds fans when we went up and they didn't. "Blah blah blah, we're a massive club, champions of Europe, they've got no history blah blah blah." Complaining about other clubs' success is boring and tinpot.
