Cherries: Mitchell reveals shock half-time address
6:09pm Saturday 25th February 2012 in Sport
By Ian Wadley
CHAIRMAN Eddie Mitchell has revealed that the wife of co-owner Maxim Demin spoke to Cherries’ players at half-time in today’s defeat against MK Dons.
Responding to a question from the Daily Echo, Mitchell confirmed that the impromptu address took place with Cherries trailing 1-0 in the League One clash.
Seward Stadium chief Mitchell joined the post-match press conference at pitchside following the game.
Talking to the media after manager Lee Bradbury had conducted his traditional interviews, Mitchell insisted Cherries could realise their ambition of playing in the Championship, before going on to reveal information about the interval chat.
He said: “She and her husband have put a lot of energy and a lot of money into the club through me and I believe that she is entitled to express her opinion.
“It was half-time and I think in the second half we did as well as we did in the first half, so it didn’t affect the game.
"I think the people that are putting money into football are entitled to their say.
"But we are 100 per cent behind the system we have got, the manager we have got and everybody else. But we watch it, we watch the game and we all feel frustrated.
"But in all fairness, he (Bradbury) is the boy that has got the experience, not us.
"But I feel that we are allowed to filter our frustration down to the changing room.
"If we were 2-0 up at half-time, we wouldn’t have come down. But we came down. It was probably wrong that we came down but modern football is changing. People have got their lives and money on the line."

Then , clearly Eddie, you were too busy quaffing to notice that we were absolutely terrible in the second half - and we desevedly booed off at the end! Just when everybody had thought we were out of the woods, here you come to make us look like a laughing stock again...

We now have a better set of individuals but nowhere near the same team - oh, and also a much higher wage bill and lower crowds!
Only the Chairman is to blame for this with his sell everyone policy.
I hope Bradders can get us challenging next season, but our best chance at Div2 football for a generation was sold before this season started.

What is confusing me is, if he thought we had played well in the first half why the need to go into the dressing room?
Surely he meant to say we played as BADLY in the second half we did as well as we did in the first half!
Maxim Demin and your Mrs, it's about time you read Mitchell the riot act and sack Bradbury tonight. He is clueless and could not organise a p1ss up in a brewery.
Can I have a refund for today's tripe please and perhaps I could go into the changing room next week and give Bradbury a piece of my mind.
No wonder the players all looked so dejected in the second half, bet they've never seen anything like that before. Welcome to AFCM.

Sack Bradbury now Mitchell! He has no clue on how to manage a football team. He makes strange substitutions every game as if he is watching a completely different game to us! Most of the team had a bad day at the office today, with one or two exceptions. (Zubar and McDermot) Flahavan is a true bluffer! He knows that he is playing out of his comfort zone every game and should just admit to himself that he is a poor goal keeper. And Yes Flahavan it was ME who shouted at you for passing the ball to Addison seconds after he was limping! Pity you showed just how childish and unprofessional you are by throwing your water bottle to the ground in anger! And before you do gooders get on my case just remember that I too have invested a lot of time and money into supporting this club and I too am entitled to have my say! Bradders and Flahavan should resign on Monday! Take baldy with you while you are at it!

Sadly I was not at the game today as I was offered a ticket for the Rugby. Driving home I had the pleasure of once again listening to our foul mouthed cahairman bring the club into disrepute as he did on the pitch a short while ago. Booze talking again I would suggest! When will he learn that the dressing room is for the players and manager and 909 at 7pm is not the place for a foul mouthed tirade.

What a shock , the club is becoming a huge joke after all the spending . EM you are an embarrassment !
Reason for concern is mr Tarmac and where he is taking us.."If you are a Bournemouth fan I would have a word with yourself about the kind of man that comes on air and without being provoked in any shape or form chooses to swear at us three times". (radio 606) Embarassment on a national platform again. Just because he got in a Russian with an equally drunken delia-esque wife shouldn't mean he is the hero and Bradbury the villain.

Why oh why did I bother. Thought we were pathetic and kept giving the ball away at every opportunity. MK were not a great side but miles better and stronger than us. They are a top 6 side whereas we will probably end up about 12th this season.
There is a lot of work to do with this team - Mcdonald and Arter particularly were weak today, the only two decent players were Zubar and Addison.
Forget playoffs this year - consolidate now.

The structural improvements and additional back room staff have moved the club a long way forward in the past 2 yrs ago & I hope this can continue.
Accepting the dismantling & rebuilding of the team for whatever reasons, for me it all went wrong at transfer deadline day. We were too keen to 'do it this year', rather than rebuild at a sustainable speed.
Buying non league players we realised development time etc would be needed, but in the rush to spend big, the expectations are much greater.
Crawley realised the difficulties of playing the current front pairing, both fine individuals, & now our management need to solve this for the team to regain its end product. I believe we should have held held our funds until the summer, but now we have these (gifted) players, Lee needs to form them into a coheret attacking unit or face the consequences.
If the owners dont believe he is the man for the job, sort it out in the board room, not the dressing room.

Not heard EMs 606 contribution, but sounds like he was in a hole & kept digging. Had he kept Mrs D out of the dressing room, would have saved a lot of embarrassment alround.

I thought he had learnt his lesson earlier in the season - but perhaps he should not have been the one having to come out with explainations for anothers actions.

Mitchell is not interested in football, his God is wealth and he does not give a hoot about others. Look at the number of companies he has had that have gone broke, leaving many creditors in a desperate situation.
I would never give money to anything he owns on principle.
Mitchell is of the same ilk as the Seaward chairman, go broke, stuff the employees and creditors but hey the "Seaward Stadium" is more precious than a few staff and creditors.

Not that long ago we all thought we were going to be relegated, so let's look on the bright side. There's not a lot wrong, Bradbury needs to stop his love affair with arter and put one of the decent player at his disposal in the middle of the park. Stop stupid quick free kicks, stop giving the ball away and stop two players taking corners. Oh, and shooting practice would help!!

Mitchell should apologise to Bradbury, the players and the fans and guarantee such a fiasco will never happen. Without this apology and reassurance the Club is in serios trouble! Turning to Bradbury he is doing an honest job based on profesionalism, and it was the below par performance of many of the players that was responsible for yesterday's result, and even then, with a share of good luck, we could have won the game!

You lot just don't get it do you?
Mitchell is not interested in football, his God is wealth and he does not give a hoot about others. Look at the number of companies he has had that have gone broke, leaving many creditors in a desperate situation.
I would never give money to anything he owns on principle.
Mitchell is of the same ilk as the Seaward chairman, go broke, stuff the employees and creditors but hey the "Seaward Stadium" is more precious than a few staff and creditors.

In fairness to Mr Mitchell ( and I am not a fan of his) he has said that Mrs Demin - who speaks little English - asked at half time to be allowed to wish the players well . That's very different from delivering a "pep" talk or ranting at the players. The last thing the Club needs is to have the Demins walk away and in some ways it is good that they are enthusiastic enough to want to urge the players on. As for Eddie - he should have learnt by now that alcohol and getting involved with the media is downright stupid - given the opportunity they will slaughter him and he shouldn't give them the chance..

Anyone trying to defend the man needs their head examined. As yet I see the club have not issued an apology for his actions, probably sums it up. As for true cherries fans hang in there as you can still turn your fortunes around and make the playoffs. Good luck for the run in.

Yes a joke thanks to Mitchell! Bradbury has replaced an entire squad with quality players, a good assistant and if those players don't perform on the day then why call for the manager's head. Lee Clark unbeaten run yeah but long ball draw specialist and failed to get Huddersfield promoted and their fans glad to get rid of him.
Reason for concern is mr Tarmac and where he is taking us.."If you are a Bournemouth fan I would have a word with yourself about the kind of man that comes on air and without being provoked in any shape or form chooses to swear at us three times". (radio 606) Embarassment on a national platform again. Just because he got in a Russian with an equally drunken delia-esque wife shouldn't mean he is the hero and Bradbury the villain.

ASM in an early post asked where is Tom Mitchell when there was bad news, good question.
Amongst all the other employees we still need someone to deal with the Public Relations, to whom EM can defer and avoid future embarrasment. Sadly he still gets too defensive when probed. he talks of a 'family club' & then uses building site language. One faux pas was bad enough, this one must be the last.

Having listened to his interview on Talk Sport it will now be clear to all that he's a foul mouthed inebriate who's not fit to be chairman of a Sunday league pub side let alone a Football League club.
Mr. Mitchell you MUST resign immediately!
Either that or Mr. Demin HAS to insist Mitchell steps down as chairman after once again disgracing himself and bringing AFC Bournemouth into disrepute.

He puts out a good team on paper and has signed good players - I wish people would give him a break and NAT would grow up and get a life, remember he had to rebuild the entire team after everyone was sold - it does take time. We are mid table, given that we sold our entire team I think we're doing alright. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes, but it makes no logical sense that "money bags" denim would let mitchell keep 50% and continue to invest - No way! something very dodgy is going on with the clubs ownership and it stinks!

I think, it's become apparent now that the club and the town of bournemouth have inherited mr mitchell. We all no, and it's become quite evident that this is not quite the way to promote a club. I feel sorry for all the fans and families who have spent money week after week, year and year and now are being treated so unprofessionally by the club.

What a prat. He didn't answer any of the questions, simply slurred and swore his way through the interview.
He got over 30,000 hits on youtube for his last outburst, almost 400 for this one, so far.
Like the commentator said. GET RID OF HIM and GET RID OF BRADBURY he hasn't got a clue about how to play decent football.
Don't blame the players (apart from Bradski's mates. Bradbury tells them how to play and it's boring rubbish. Get a manager in who knows how to get the best out of this talented bunch.
To the people who say get Eddie Howe back, he wouldn't come anywhere near this club whilst un steady Eddie is in charge. That all started to go wrong when he burst into the dressing room at Notts County in yet another drunken state. Disgraceful self important idiot.

Get over it, at least Eddie gets the team in the news, no one would care otherwise. Up the Cherries in al their building plans for Kings Park.
You are obviously one of his yes men if you think his behaviour is acceptable. Im sure your parents didnt bring you up to accept someone acting and treating people in the way Mitchell does - no decent parent would.

You were obviously brought up with different moral than I was if you think Mitchells behaviour is acceptable. I was brought up to treat people politely and with respect. Mitchell has never done that in his life and yesterday he showed his true colours once again - this time on national radio.
