BOURNEMOUTH manager Eddie Howe has been handed the dreaded vote of confidence.
Chairman Jeff Mostyn stepped in to reassure the boss after the Cherries had slipped to 14th, saying the job will be his “for the foreseeable future.”
But Howe, whose side face Manchester City at home on Monday, said: “I hope I’m here longer than the foreseeable future. My heart is very much here.
“I look forward to getting back to winning ways.”
Howe also admitted he would "love" to sign Arsenal loanee Jack Wilshere.
"We’d love Jack to stay, but there’s been no discussion with Arsenal," the Cherries boss added.
"We’re treating it as a loan for this season, as ever."
Wilshere admitted he's uncertain over his future.
"At the end of the season, when I sit down and think about [his future], that will be a big factor," said Wilshere.
