Bond gets Bournemouth job

Former Newcastle assistant boss Kevin Bond, who was fired by the Magpies last month in the fall-out from the Panorama programme on alleged corruption, has been appointed manager of League One side Bournemouth.

The 49-year-old, who made more than 100 appearances for the Cherries as a player, replaces Sean O’Driscoll after he quit to take over at Doncaster four weeks ago.
