Barring an impossible 20-goal swing in the final games on Saturday, English Championship club Bournemouth will be promoted to England’s Premier League for the first time in its 116-yearhistory. Bournemouth is second in the Championship standings, three points ahead of third-place Middlesbrough, but it has a goal difference that is 19 goals better. “It’s been an amazing journey, onewe never expected to go on. It doesn’t seem real,” coach Eddie Howe said after Monday’s promotion-clinching 3-0 win against Bolton. He added that it is hard to believe that nearly seven yearsago the club was close to bankrupt.
