GERALD Krasner this afternoon revealed a fresh bid for Cherries as the club's takeover saga took another twist.
The club's administrator, in a press briefing at Dean Court, told journalists how he had received a second bid for the ailing club on Monday night.
Begbies Traynor official Krasner, however, said he considered the second proposal to be weaker than the offer from preferred bidder Jeff Mostyn.
But Krasner did confirm that, should Mostyn's bid not proceed, he would consider the other offer.
He would not be drawn on the names of those behind the new offer.
Meanwhile, Mostyn's consortium is hopeful of submitting its proposals for the transfer of the Football League share by Friday.
Mostyn also introduced new chief executive Alistair Saverimutto to the media, who revealed his plans to take the club forward.
Saverimutto, who wishes to be known as 'Savi', was appointed by Mostyn with Krasner's permission and told the press he intends to run the club as a business.
Krasner, meanwhile, confirmed that several of the football club's external contracts had been terminated, including those with Bourne Red and Sodexho.

For christ sake will somebody have the balls to be straight with the supporters, it's like being in a kids play ground.I've supported this team for over 30 years, but the way things are going no way will i renew my season ticket till we have some concrete evidence we're going to have a team to support. Im not interested in what division we're in just want to know we'll have a team in a division.!!!!!!!

Another Offer. Surely must have come in the last week or Porky should have mentioned it last week. "If Mostyn's offer cannot go forward" what is that supposed to mean. I'm tired of the cloak and dagger stuff - Lard Ars* do what you are being paid for. Sort it out. NOW!

How the hell can a new CEO be appointed if we don't yet know if Mostyn's offer will def move forward?
I was about to renew season ticket but until we are treated like adults, my money is staying where it is.

WE must be the only organisation that has a press conference that leaves People knowing less than they knew before. Where has this other offer come from UI thopught Krassner said ages ago when the other deal collapsed that Jeff Mostyn was the only alternative as nobody else including Mostyn had put an offer in. Now why is he allowing another offer if he is so sure that Jeffs is going to solve the Clubs problems very worrying unless I have misunderstood what Krassner said a couple of months ago. Also why keep the other bidder a secret ?

Would like to hear the football club will be run like a football club, rather than that tired old 'as a business' that everyone says and as yet have failed to deliver. Focus on the core business, success on the field and the rest will follow.

Yes Mr Saverimutto played for Bath Bristol and Gloucster before retiring to take up his agency company.
I would be more interested in who the other bid is from. I wounder if the echo can do some real work and find out who it is?

Picture looks like another copier salesman to me. If installed as a commercial bod for Everton lets hope he can run the commercial side of AFCB alot better than it is at the moment. Talking to Corporate holders and season ticket holders would be a good start!!!

Thanks Noel. Like you not sure what to think but he sounds like he has some possibilities. Done okay as an agent. So is that it has Porky's show for this week finished? Tune in next week same Lard A**e time same lard A**e channel. Still not sure we are any closer to survival. Lodge the papers at the Football league on Friday night they won't even look at them until Monday only one month to go after that. Cutting it fine.

I thought bidding had closed weeks ago, or is it that he doesnt have much confidence in mostyns bid so he is looking at others. How did the new bidders know they could put a bid in unless they had contact with Buddha Krasner ? Echo, do some investigating for once instead of writing stuff that we could find out for ourselves, yes I know thats a big ask but have a go anyway, you might enjoy it !!!!

If you Google Savi' you'll see he's very aware of the commerical opportunities open to sports clubs.
He was the one who got Chang to sponsor Everton, made money on youth players at a small rugby club, and according to other AFCB sites got us better catering deals AND refused to work with 'others' with Luton connections.
Of course the failure of Ohec, the ST, etc to ask pertinant questions is poor but what did you expect?
We're not out the mire yet but I feel better than I did a week ago, and especially a month back!

When you say you want it run "as a football club" do you mean that you want the club to take massive risks and financially overextend in the hope there is enough success on the pitch to recover from debt it's incurred getting there?

Wherever would you get an idea like that? Maybe the fact has been in admin since February, or the players had to defer 50% of their wages, or a lot of people were laid off, or the takeover pantomime has dragged on and on with numerous investors backing out!!!???!!!
That has to be the understatement of the year!

When will we know if Mostyns bid is going forward time surely is running out, Are the other bidders getting stuff in place to step in if he does what he did last time because if not we wont get our share back and thats the end of us. I am heartened to read about this Savermuttos track record at Everton but it will count for nothing if the bid doesnt go through. And Kudos is right we cant be run like some Clubs and take risks based on what may happen we must budget for what we can achieve. I wonder who the other bidder is

Hoped that the players contracts would be on the table and SIGNED on July 1st. If this pantomime drags on much longer will we be watching the youth team and trialists play the friendlies.... or will Danny, Darren,Marvin,Brett and Shaun all be playing as non contract players or indeed will they all still be here?

what a complete letdown, Mr Mostyn has now pemission to staff the club but his deal has not yet gone through. how are we expected to understand what is going on when the people concerned do not appear to know, after last weeks non event most people would have thought that the big step Krasnar was talking about would have been Mostyn putting down the balance of the money and finally taking control, you cannot run the club on spec it has to be hands on and quickly, and why does Krasnar every time he opens his mouth say somthing which condradicts what he has said before, there was no need to mention the new offer if Mostyns bid was on the verge of going through, surely if Mostyns bid goes through he can then take the club out of administration, and present his case to the league free of all financial constraints, for the sake of peoples sanity and for us to be able to give the new owners a chance to prove themselves PLEASE EXPLAIN IN DETAIL WHAT IS GOING ON

Seems that this Savi fella has arranged a new catering deal worth more than the original contract deal ousted by admin.
Sounds good but could be worrying if this money has already been used to continue funding admin and the takeover. as would that mean most of it is already gone.

On the positive side, Mostyn has confirmed that the funding is in place to take the Club forward, the plan goes to the FA at the end of the week and the CEO seems to be of a good standard. Am afraid that we will just have to be patient

Am afraid that we will just have to be patient

what a complete letdown, Mr Mostyn has now pemission to staff the club but his deal has not yet gone through. how are we expected to understand what is going on when the people concerned do not appear to know, after last weeks non event most people would have thought that the big step Krasnar was talking about would have been Mostyn putting down the balance of the money and finally taking control, you cannot run the club on spec it has to be hands on and quickly, and why does Krasnar every time he opens his mouth say somthing which condradicts what he has said before, there was no need to mention the new offer if Mostyns bid was on the verge of going through, surely if Mostyns bid goes through he can then take the club out of administration, and present his case to the league free of all financial constraints, for the sake of peoples sanity and for us to be able to give the new owners a chance to prove themselves PLEASE EXPLAIN IN DETAIL WHAT IS GOING ON[/quote] The question is WHY wont they explain what is going on. Its not looking to good for us at the moment I just hope this Man doesnt leave us in the lurch at the last moment

are we watching "Groundhog Day" I have never known two press conferences where at the end of them we know less about what is going on than we did previously. I realise the Krasner would not lower himself to read what the fans think but we need to keep writing. Last week he said I am coming to hopefully finalise the deal on the table. I will be "hopefully" be introducing Jeff Mostyns partners. Instead he breaks te news that he has had another offer for our club. And made it clear that maybe we have not got a done deal. I think that it is time that the FA looks into the way that our administration has been handled Come on club officials we are all grownups and can understand that there will be ups and downs so give us the truth warts and all and we will be happy

Could someone wake me up from this nightmare and tell me that it is not true. I told my wife the other day that it was time I got my season ticket but I am having second thoughts now. Is this Krasner’s way of squeezing even more money out of our bankrupt piggy bank or is he hoping to pay his fees out of the season ticket money? Like many above I am totally confused about what is/is not going on at the club.

Don't think we do as administration is still in place ?
He would not be drawn
Another fine bit of non journalism by our local paper.
