SHIRT DEAL IS OFF
Jeff Mostyn
Jeff Mostyn

OUTGOING shirt sponsor Focal Point has taken a swipe at Cherries after exercising a clause to prematurely terminate its three-year contract with the club.

The locally-based international manufacturers, whose deal with Cherries was believed to be worth £75,000 per year excluding VAT, opted to pull the plug after claiming the Dean Court outfit did not have the "common courtesy" to inform them about entering administration.

A spokesman for Focal Point Fires plc told the Daily Echo: "The contract had one year left to run and we're just not happy with what is going on there.

"No-one phoned us to tell us about the administration. That's not the way to conduct business between sponsor and club.

"We did the deal with Peter Phillips when Seward moved out. We did a very lucrative deal for the club and we've done well out of it as well."

Cherries chairman Jeff Mostyn was keen to express his gratitude to the company for their sponsorship of the struggling League One club.

He said: "They have decided to exercise the option in the agreement, but I would like to thank them for their tremendous support over the past two years.

"They have terminated their contract in respect of sponsoring the players' shirts.

"We thank them for their fantastic support and hope they will continue to support the club through the hospitality areas available to them."

The Focal Point spokesman added: "There was a clause in the contract that said if either party went into administration the other one could pull out on written notice, which is what we gave two weeks ago.

"We're very disappointed they look as though they are going to be relegated and we don't like to be associated with failure.

"We were very pleased to be sponsors, it was a lot of money for a local sponsorship."

Meanwhile, Mostyn yesterday confirmed that there will be no Cherries press conference this afternoon.

The Cherries chairman's consortium had been expected to reveal their plans for the club, but things have been temporarily put on hold.

"As a result of me being abroad for four days, our timing has been put back," Mostyn told the Daily Echo.

"In order to ensure all the legal work has been completed, we're deferring the press conference until hopefully the end of next week."

Just another example of the contempt shown to sponsors, employees, ex-players and suppliers alike. This is the same man that claims his buisness expertise will be an asset to AFCB.

What a mess, no shirt sponsor unless of course Jackson sponsors them. The way Mostyn is going we will have no backers at all , like Krasner stated at the press conference Mostyn is not the best liked person in Bournemouth. Yet some fans still want him to be in charge of OUR club, the mans a joke. As for him cancelling his meeting , again another lie about having to see his legal team. Any other person would already have his plan / budgets before putting a offer in. His ideas are on a bag of a fag packet just like this season. I believe many other companies will follow Focal Point because Mostyn and Sly cannot be trusted, We just cannot afford to lose a £75k sponsorship, i fear the worst...

There, now you have a name - OK?

...shame about this upsetting a local company willing to put money into AFCB...think most of us are getting an idea of the type of man JM is and we can make our minds up accordingly...BUT for Focal Point to take a dig and say that they don't want to be associated with failure and a relegated team is that a dig at JM for taking us into administration?...ke
eping a poor manager?...or is it just fact that they wouldn't want us in L2?..personally I can't see how it matters what league we were in their exposure would still be nationwide?

What a Star Not only P**ing off the Supporters now local Businssmen Mostyn is a shrewd Businessman so what the hell is he up to How can you not tell a Company with a vital source of income that you are going into administration If you Guys cant see it now then there is no hope for us.
Posted by: avant-provocateur, LOCAL on 10:05am Thu 20 Mar 08
If you look into the achieve of comments, I warned over and over again about the Mostyn Mafia but I was laughed at and ridiculed.
I really hope at this last minute everyone has become aware of Mostyn and his unprofessional tactics.
To coin a phrase again - No businessman gives money unless there is a return.
I really hope Mostyn loses shed loads of money, but if he does he will just put up your insurance premiums - that’s how he made his millions.

Not too nice of the sponsors to have a dig about relegation, I can understand the reasons for pulling out but that is just a cheap shot.
Posted by: lymocherry, Lymington on 10:31am Thu 20 Mar 08
What next?

This is becoming a pantomime and we are all the dummies, the club lurches from one **** up to the next, it looks more and more like the club is going to the wall, without a fire place, is there anything going on that we can trust or believe, it's all getting totally beyond fantasy. YES NO does it really matter what the vote is, there will be no one doing business with the club anyway, so there goes any chance of a team and survival in league football, well done all those who have contributed at boardroom level over the past 10 years, you have done a great job.
Posted by: Springbournered, Bournemouth on 10:38am Thu 20 Mar 08
Surely the vote means nothing anyway??!!! Am I wrong here?! Vote or no vote surely this just means we either pay creditors or we dont and get a 15 point deduction next season?! Thats how i see it! JM & SS were the only ones who came in with an offer so now we are stuck with them!!! Is this right or am I completely wrong?!!

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS SAGA UNFOLD FOR MONTHS.
I HAVE BEEN READING THE COMMENTS BY DISGRUNTLED FANS BUT THE ECHO SEEMS TO BE MISSING THE POINT.
THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A NEWSPAPER BUT ALL YOU READ ARE A LOT OF BANAL COMMENTS FROM THE PRINCIPAL PERFORMERS.
HAVE ANY OF YOUR REPORTERS HEARD OF FLEET ST.?
AT SOME POINT SOMEONE SHOULD ASK A PROBING QUESTION!
IF YOUR HEAD JOURNALISTS DONT HAVE THE GUTS TO BE NEWSPAPERMEN MAYBE A COPYBOY COULD DO THEIR JOB FOR THEM!

Failure ! Three bloody times i had to contact you about one of your shoddy fire's !! And like mostyn you didnt give a rats arse !

It is quite obvious! Just don't go!! Vote with your feet. If they get less than 1000 each game Mostyn and Co won't last long. It's all or nothing now. Worth the gamble I think. Vote against the CVA. Someone will come in for the club. And before anyone replies "you must support your club" What club? The time has come to rid the club of all these false prophets, its time for a fresh start!

Personaly think this Focal Point thing is a fuss about nothing - suits both sides - they don't want to be linked with failure (not to mention they save themselves £75k) and the new regime can start afresh with new sponsers.

Also will you lot please understand that "No" to the CVA does not get rid of Mostyn - he already has a bid in should that happen.

Also do you really want the club run by somebody who is looking to buy cheaper than Mostyn is? What sort of funding are they likely to bring and what makes you think they will be better for the club than Mostyn when you don't even know who they are?

Harry said he woud not see the club fold - well it won't since Mostyn is already in place to keep it going. Not sure Harry would want the agro to be honest - far better to keep his distance and remain a hero in many eyes rather than risk the insults thrown at club owners for just being bad at PR.

£75,000 a year plus VAT.
VAT means nothing to us..Thats why HMRC are chasing us all the time.

"We're very disappointed they look as though they are going to be relegated and we don't like to be associated with failure.

I actually bought one of there fires as they supported the club and had to take it back to B&Q and replace it a month later so they seem to already be associated with failure.

They made valid points up to then. But that was a bit of an unneccesary dig.

Be interesting to see if we were going to get relegated without administration whether they pulled the plug anyway.

Sounds like a convienenat excuse to bale to me anyway.

Oh by the way there fires are ****!!

Blue Lamp, there doesn't appear to be be anything flickering between your ears does there.
So we should all vote aginst the CVA, we will then start life in League Two with another hetfy points deduction but I suppose thats what you want, or prehaps your a creditior thats p***ed off with the fact you are going to lose money.
The point is that the club will never move foward if people like continue to post negative comments every time the ohec post a sensationalist story regarding AFCB.
Lets get some things straight, Mostyn and Sly have kept this club trading for the last year and if they hadn't have pumped over £1 million into AFCB we would have nothing and would probably be looking at being the first club since Aldershot to go bust in a season.
Their decision to put AFCB into admin was the only thing they could do to attract new investment. If anyone was to invest in AFCB pre admin there money would have been just swallowed up by servicing debts.
Post admin and if the CVA is accepted we will start with a clean slate, no debt to service and then if investors want to invest then they will be doing so into a debt free organisation.
Another thing to remember is Jeff and Steve are due to lose a lot of money by supporting the CVA, they could have like all our other previous chairman have done and said bol**cks to this and not bothered trying to put a rescue package together to save the club. And as for Focal Point pulling out, it was just the same in 1997 when Liverpool Victoria did exactly the same.
I do apologise for going on but we need everyone pulling in the right direction or there will be no club to support and no frsh start.
I do just wonder blue lamp if Steve and Jeff take the club through a sucessful CVA and we do well in League two next year weather you will vote with your feet and stay away and hope we only get 1000??? Don't think so some how.

The whole point about sponsership is getting the message to all supporter that we are clearly advertising someones product. When its widdling down in Olham or all points north- they wont even know these sponsers. 7500 k a year-its a bad deal-only that a year-lets have a proper company coming on board-not someone taking pennies from the petty cash tin.Lets have a SPONSER

An important aspect of this seems to have been missed, do AFCB have the cash to fund a new strip without Focal Point on it or will the new strip be 'Skintone'.

Onwards and upwards with the Mighty MIGHTY BASH (at home saturday against Bromsgrove Rovers if any Cherry fan fancies a bit of light relief from all the doom and glum)

Thing is Sourcherry old chap is that when we require players for a higher standard we go out and get them - when was the last time that AFCB were able to do that?

ig, i'd say that he was less of a Donkey and more of an **** if he really believes Bash are so inferior to Cherries that we do not matter.

I actaully quiet like Bash and have a soft spot for them when it comes to non-league football, along with AFCW, but your attitude is slowly putting me off. Why do you show such an interest in a club that you obviously don't like. Have you the Hampshire Echo not got a site you can go on and talk about all things Bash??!

Funny thing is I used to have a soft spot for them as well but this numpty has put me right off them now, oh and I have been to the odd game, that wont happen again either. No doubt I will get some comment about being sour and that they dont want people like me, after all they have such a large following why would they want to attract new fans, and to use our problems to have a dig is just plain pathetic, but that's whats happening with mr interesting, says it all, I have never once been onto a Bash thread in any paper to have a go at them, yet they seem to think it's jolly good fun sticking it to the cherries, aren't they in hampshire, surely Scummers are their league team...

The shirt is sponsored until the end of the season, stop trying to score cheap shots of the club, you quite clearly don't care about.

Garthy boy,

Who says we will lose 15 points ? only Krasner scaremongering. The Football league have no such rule and before you state Leeds Utd check their case , they had no CVA.

With regards to Jeff putting a £1,000,000 into the club , how can you prove that. No accounts show this , do they ?

All this was planned by Mostyn a year ago when he STOLE the Golden share, he cannot be trusted, We will not go out of business and the people waiting in the wings do not want the club for nothing they just could not bid or won`t because of the EXCLUSIVITY clause. ASK MOSTYN IF HE WOULD WALK AWAY IF SOMEONE GAVE HIM A MILLION POUNDS.

Of course he would , he is not a supporter he`s just after making money. VOTE NO TO THE CVA.

The Bournemouth Echo IS our local paper.

I too have always had a soft spot for the Cherries as do many of our fans and vice versa it has to be said and i would like to think that if ever AFCB fans ever came to us for help then we would be able to - i for one would certainly be disapointed if we did not.
At such a bad time for Cherry fans you would hope that for even closer ties with the areas senior non-league side and it is saddening that are not but posters such as Sourcherry and constant referances to us as a pub side etc deserve contempt from us and will recieve it, wouldn't you react the same way if it was your club given the same lack of respect?

As for Sourcherry to say that he has a soft spot for us is an absolute joke, from the first Bashley posting on here he has derided our fine club and it's fans........is that anyway to win friends Sour?

Maybe he finds it hard to see us doing so well when his team are struggling but that is no excuse to show contempt to a club that only wish AFCB well.

I for one would love to see a derby between us but not at the expense of Bournemouths relegations but rather through our promotions - we are not a threat to AFCB, we share to much common ground and supporters for that to be the case - if only the likes of Sourcherry understood that and gave us the respect that we give you none of these posts would be here would they.

Our forum can be found at www.bashleyfc.co.uk and i'm sure that if you decide to post on our site you'll be made more than welcome.........even Sourcherry.

As for Sourcherry to say that he has a soft spot for us is an absolute joke, from the first Bashley posting on here he has derided our fine club and it's fans........is that anyway to win friends Sour? Maybe he finds it hard to see us doing so well when his team are struggling but that is no excuse to show contempt to a club that only wish AFCB well. I for one would love to see a derby between us but not at the expense of Bournemouths relegations but rather through our promotions - we are not a threat to AFCB, we share to much common ground and supporters for that to be the case - if only the likes of Sourcherry understood that and gave us the respect that we give you none of these posts would be here would they. Our forum can be found at www.bashleyfc.co.uk and i'm sure that if you decide to post on our site you'll be made more than welcome.........even Sourcherry.
Fair play, good response in fairness Steve. Cherries and Bashley have always been linked and I would hate to think of a few sour grapes would tarnish that relationship. I would also like to see Bashley promoted into the league and if they carry on the way they are going that is not out of the realms of fantasy.
Just try not to take some of the people on here to seriously and jump of the band wagon of people sticking the knife into the cherries at the moment.

Time to try do something about this...We can't just CAN'T have JM & SS in charge with this photocopier man.

They are corruption to this club and if they get it...it's going to be the same old club again with no money, no investment and not 2 pennys to rub together...And you say you have the best interest of the club at heart...****.

We need someone out there with a bit of money and some fresh ideas....Harry already said he wont let the club go bust even if there was no one else.

The other parties seem more interesting. JM has done bugger all for this club accept screw it up and take it backwards even if he did keep it going...Someone else with some knowledge and determination wouldn't of screwed it up anyway...All you done is lie to us you got **** all money that you put into this club with your £1 share and just want the ego trip of being at the helm of something you have **** up.

A big cheers now get out we want someone who has determination not the ego of a **** like yourself.

I actaully quiet like Bash and have a soft spot for them when it comes to non-league football, along with AFCW, but your attitude is slowly putting me off. Why do you show such an interest in a club that you obviously don't like. Have you the Hampshire Echo not got a site you can go on and talk about all things Bash??!
The Bournemouth Echo IS our local paper.

I really don't get you, you are the one that started all this by coming on here telling us how if we wanted to watch proper football and get away from the crap at Bournemouth then we should all go to Bash, so when we say not interested and say no thanks you start getting funny, there have not been continued comments about Bash being a pub team, that was once and again that was when you came on here trying to stir things up, so stop trying to make yourself out to be a saint when quite clearly you just want to wind up cherries fans for a little bit of a laugh, I do not recall once you coming on here for any positive reason other than to plug Bashley at the expense of the Cherries so get over yourself.

Also steve how many times have you banged on about Bashley could beat the Cherries 5 times out of 6 because they are no good, you aint no friend of the club you just want to promote the Bash, give it a rest man it's getting boring.

Blue Lamp, there doesn't appear to be be anything flickering between your ears does there.

The point is that the club will never move foward if people like continue to post negative comments every time the ohec post a sensationalist story regarding AFCB. Lets get some things straight, Mostyn and Sly have kept this club trading for the last year and if they hadn't have pumped over £1 million into AFCB we would have nothing and would probably be looking at being the first club since Aldershot to go bust in a season. Their decision to put AFCB into admin was the only thing they could do to attract new investment. If anyone was to invest in AFCB pre admin there money would have been just swallowed up by servicing debts. Post admin and if the CVA is accepted we will start with a clean slate, no debt to service and then if investors want to invest then they will be doing so into a debt free organisation. Another thing to remember is Jeff and Steve are due to lose a lot of money by supporting the CVA, they could have like all our other previous chairman have done and said bol**cks to this and not bothered trying to put a rescue package together to save the club. And as for Focal Point pulling out, it was just the same in 1997 when Liverpool Victoria did exactly the same. I do apologise for going on but we need everyone pulling in the right direction or there will be no club to support and no frsh start. I do just wonder blue lamp if Steve and Jeff take the club through a sucessful CVA and we do well in League two next year weather you will vote with your feet and stay away and hope we only get 1000??? Don't think so some how.
Garthyboy - with such loyalty to your 'Jeff' I bet you are part of his mafia, perhaps his propaganda chief. He dreams a lot as well, or should that be 'has nightmares'
No mate, just want the football club to do well on and off the pitch, something you don't seem to want with your "let's be as negative as we can and hope the club are in the sh*t" comments all the time.

Garthy boy, Who says we will lose 15 points ? only Krasner scaremongering. The Football league have no such rule and before you state Leeds Utd check their case , they had no CVA. With regards to Jeff putting a £1,000,000 into the club , how can you prove that. No accounts show this , do they ? All this was planned by Mostyn a year ago when he STOLE the Golden share, he cannot be trusted, We will not go out of business and the people waiting in the wings do not want the club for nothing they just could not bid or won`t because of the EXCLUSIVITY clause. ASK MOSTYN IF HE WOULD WALK AWAY IF SOMEONE GAVE HIM A MILLION POUNDS. Of course he would , he is not a supporter he`s just after making money. VOTE NO TO THE CVA.
Mostyn didn't steal the golden share. The fans let him have it and I was one who voted at both the Supporters trust and the shareholders meetings.

I am unsure if it was £1 million I think that was quoted by Krasnier.

Exclusivity clause or not, Krasnier works for the shareholders and not the club so surely if the other mystery consortium waiting in the wings signed the confidentallity letter and showed proof of funds but the adminstrator still went with Mostyn it must be teh best offer on the table.

Garthy boy, good comments. Soneone who knows what he is talking about, roll on France.

Yeah can't wait for France away and David Beckham's 100th cap.
First away game since Russia and the football will probably be just as dissapointing but the craic good like normal!!!
Posted by: john coombes, Tiverton on 4:54pm Thu 20 Mar 08
as the only offer on the table I have been inclined to support the deal offered by Mostyn and Sly, but this latest news does show that there is a complete lack of communication skills, so please Mr Mostyn if you really care about the feelings of the fans lets us see that lack of communication is a thing of the past, all these other so called potential buyers are a figmentation of someones mind and depite letters of confidentiality have plenty of opportunity to reveal themselves, as for Focal Point there added comments were completley out of order, and was this the same sponsor who went on record as saying :I will do everything in my power to ensure that the club goes forward: and as soon as thing go wrong jump ship, maybe the club will be better off without them
