NEXT WEEK KEY FOR CHERRIES
 |
| NON-EXECUTIVE ROLES: Jeff Mostyn and Steve Sly |
JEFF Mostyn is hoping Cherries could discover their administration fate as early as the end of next week.
Mostyn met with Football League officials on Wednesday for further talks on Cherries' proposals to exit administration.
He was again asked to produce additional documentation after the league had decided to "defer discussion" on Cherries' case at their board meeting last week.
Mostyn said: "Primarily, they wanted clarification on a lot of the financial information that we had provided them with in terms of our profit-and-loss assessment.
"It's very difficult to give accurate figures for the next three years when we haven't got membership at this moment in time.
"They wanted to understand how the figures had been derived. That information will be provided to them no later than next Wednesday. That wasn't a deadline, it was by mutual consent.
"If we manage to get the information to them, they will look to possibily convene a special conference meeting of the board to deliberate our membership application and a decision could be made at the end of next week."
Mostyn believes Cherries now have the funds to successfully exit administration after he reached agreement with Sport-6 owners Alastair Saverimutto and Paul Baker to buy the club.
He said: "We now have funds in place, secured, to take the club through the remainder of the administration period, which we hope will be a very short space of time.
"And of more significance, we have secured funds in place to take this football club forward. That is the most important thing, not just getting through week by week to ensure the administrator has the money in order just to trade the club."
Mostyn will surrender control to Saverimutto and Baker but will remain as chairman on a non-executive basis, while Steve Sly will stay on as non-executive vice-chairman.
Mostyn, who met Baker for the first time a fortnight ago, confirmed a deal had been "signed, sealed and secured". He said the return of the Football League share would be the final piece of the jigsaw.
He also said the new owners had provided sufficient funds should the league require them to make a payment to their creditors (CVA), as was the case with Luton recently.
Baker said Sport-6 had made a "seven-figure investment" in the club, although confirmed that the deal included some consideration for monies owed to Mostyn.

Bye Bye Jeff.

jeff and steve - find out where all the exits are because you are going through them as sure as night follows day - for 'non-executive' read 'non - starter'- a shambles start to finish and if the current team dont perform big time the new crowd arent going to be pumping money in wholesale - we aint out of the woods yet

Jeff's not the fool we think he is - he's obviously making sure he gets some cash before going.
As for Sly, well he's a real fan, travelled home and away long before he became involved 'upstairs' - you do feel he really wanted the best for the club. I wish him luck.
Let's hope Sport-6 can really be the difference

one question
if the league do not give us back this golden share by the 9th august does that mean we are not allowed to start the season or does it just bar us from entering the cup competitions?

I don't understand the comment about "It's very difficult to give accurate figures for the next three years when we haven't got membership at this moment in time."
What has 'membership' at the current time got to do with it - what about the last 90 odd years of this clubs history to help you predict future revenues.
This sounds like more evasive words on important matters which should have been buttoned down by now - but of course it's all been put together on the back of a fag packet in the last two weeks.
Let's see what happens over the next two.

I would have thought any application to the league would have been accompanied by a sound business plan, this does not appear to have been done, let us hope that all documents are provided by next Wednesday as suggested

You can only make an "informed" guess at turnover for the next three years, there are so many variables, the most important is of course success on the field, without this who knows how successful shop and catering etc will be, the best guess from Saverimutto was 3-5 million. In many ways it would seem to depend on the FA and just how severe the penalties they place on the Club are - the more onerous the financial penalty the less there will be for investment in the Club, both in income generating activities and in the team. A good start to the Season is imperative or the gates will struggle at around the 4000 mark, it should be remembered that there is, in this Division, a cap of 60% of turnover for players wages. The better the support, the higher the turnover and the better the team. So in many ways it is down to the fans as well as the Club Money too is tight and becoming tighter and the need is for a winning team playing attractive football to keep supporters coming to games.

unbelievable.
great positive fans forum, things are finally looking up....and the people who comment on this site still manage to be negative about it!
if pither took over and someone else came along with a bid, you'll all be on his back then too!
if we won the champions league would you still manage to have a pop at something? i'm sure you would.
i think you all need to look up *supporter* in the dictionary.

I have got sick & tired reading all the pathetic, negative comments from so-called supporters. When are they going to realise that at the end of the day the club is 'hopefully' still alive & kicking. So Sport 6 are using the club as in investment.So what! Good luck to them if it works.If they put the work in and invested alot of capital why shouldnt they get some return.I dont blame Mr Mostyn wanting to get his money back either.Have the cynics got thousands of pounds to throw away? At the end of the day the club will only survive if it gets its off the field facilities and promotions sorted as much I hate to say it, the club will take along time to reach Championship status without it. The club has beg,stolen and borrowed in the past and the balloon finally went up earlier this year with HMRC. Well done to everyone concerned at the club for still giving me a team to support three hundred miles away.

No but being a supporter of a local clubs means you should go to the games when your club needs you most, not just when we have been pushing for playoffs etc. If you dont go, you cant have the right moan about things on the pitch as you would be part of the reason. The less turnover, the less that 60% is spend on players wages is.
My season ticket is on its way, like every season.

I am all for this working out and so are the others we are just not daft enough to accept it without seeing the investment in place and the football league share back with the club, if they do both then I will be happy to cheer them on, just one point though how long do you think Mostyn has left as Chairman, he has found himself a way out that he wanted months ago, clever man for that.

I also question why two people who wanted to buy Chester City a few months ago want to buy AFCB after meeting JM a couple of weeks ago? After all Baker in a Chester fan and business sponsor.
They may see massive potential and have the money to invest, all well and good. As others have said all they have done so far is talk and appoint more directors that we have players, but I want to see action not words which are easy to say.

Well I've been a negative poster from 1000's of miles away. I want my team to play Football this year and I have been totally frustrated by the amateurish approach taken by all concerned in this whole admin fiasco. If sport6 are too lead us out of the wilderness with or without J and S then bloody good on them. If they can send Porky back up north asap then good on them. But so far it is all rhetoric with no obvious tangible factual action. Apart from some nice words I personally have nothing to hang my strained 45 years of support on. The facts right this minute are we have a mountain to climb. We are almost certainly in the red points wise we have as yet not got anything like a full squad, we are still in administration and we do not have our football league share. The good news is we have got a full execitive in place. Pardon me for not suddenly seeing a very small distant light at the end of the tunnel as our salvation. We've made a small start that is all at least I think it's a start because we still have no idea of the business plan, size of investment unless "7 figures" suddenly cuts it in the world of finance and less than three weeks until the season starts. We are not out of the crap yet and imho this is no time to sit back relax and bathe in the glory of a job not well done. This is not a dig at those with the ability to be more optimistic than me it is just me saying I am not anywhere near satisfied with the lack of progress to date. Here endeth my rant. Good luck to Sport6 and Long Live the Cherries.

the proof of the pudding is in the eating all we can do is wait and see and give the new management our support
NOW CAN ANYONE ANSWER MY QUESTION (which i posted prior to all the normal inhouse bickering)
what happens if the fa do not give us the golden share does that mean we are not allowed to start the season or does it just bar us from all cup competitions?

Well you live in Highcliffe and spend an enourmous time on here, you bought your season ticket, or aim to go to most games?
You are completely missing the whole point of what I am saying, there are more ways to support the club than just going on a Saturday, it is a very blinkered view to say someone isn't a supporter unless they go to the game, some people have many reasons why they couldn't attend a game but it doesn't mean they are not a supporter, you are being very unfair if that's how you judge someones support, I was out there watching every game 20+ years ago were you?

Reported in the Aberdeen papers and on Radio Five[bold]bold[/bold] , quoting a fee of £40,000, also mentioned Steve Lovell coming to the Cherries - but Hibernian and Kilmarnock the favourites to take him.

can't keep up with you lot!
well the general consensus i have read since my last post was that you will be supporting them until they deliver, and slag them off to high heaven until they do.
they've only been in the job 5 minutes!?! what do you expect them to have achieved so far?!? lets say for example that bournemouth sign a new striker before the season starts. are you lot going to slag him off every day up until the point he scores 30 league goals!!? even if he gets 29 in his first 15 games?? silly question....of course you will. :)
and have i bought my season ticket? don't make me laugh of course i have! have hardly missed a home game for 14 years and don't intend to start now either.
up the cherries!
and well done to all those who also support my club

and well done to all those who also support my club[/quote] You see you are very wrong again, no one is slagging them off, all people are doing is saying be cautious, as of yet they don't own the club so why should everyone jump on the bandwagon, you may think it's easier to support them now but some of us will wait thanks, when and if they do buy the club and bring us out of administration then I think you will find they will get the support, so don't be so quick to judge people just because they have seen false promises and very few deliveries. As for the striker when has anyone done that for a player? I as the others who are being careful support the players 100% and we will give them our backing on match days, your comments on this are so far off the mark it's a joke. So get your facts straight no one is slagging the new prospective owners off we just want to see it happen and will believe it when we see it, if anyone is slagging people off it's you.

the player suggestion was tongue in cheek.
i guess everyone has 3 options with this new board.
1) support and praise them
2) slag them off and want them out
3) sit on the fence and give them a fair chance, then judge and comment on them
if people are neither praising them or slagging them.......why write 30 odd comments on every posted story suggesting they may be up to no good!?!
someone joins the board and immediately everyone jumps to the conclusion...right whats in it for him, how is he going to rip us off, get them out now!
just because previous owners have had their faults why does that mean these ones will aswell?
can't everyone just give them a fair crack of the whip first!!??
if i was an investor in bournemouth and read all these comments...i would be asking myself whether it was worth it after the first day!

They have in the past been told by the Chester Chairman no thanks you don't have the finances to run a league club, they are offering the moon without yet buying the club, so it's all very well giving them a fair crack of the whip, but it's quite another to accept them without caution, would you just accept a mortgage salesman just on first impressions? no you wouldn't. As I said before no one is slagging them off, facts are not that they are a tool for others to make their minds up, so it's not as black and white as you make it out. I like others want them to be the real deal but we are not going to just accept it without seeing anything to back it up, if this week they do what is needed then you will see more support for them but until then I for one will remain cautious.
