Because

He's already said he's staying at Bournemouth until they want him to leave - he briefly left for bigger things once and had his fingers burned. Now he's close to taking a club he's been at for the best part of twenty years from relegation from the football league, despite a 17 point deduction, to the Premiership. He certainly won't leave a Championship side with money behind them, who have just narrowly missed out on the play-offs, for another Championship club with - in my opinion - equal if not less chance of making the play-offs. Other Championship managers might see us as a step up, Howe would see us as a step down.
