If he doesn't sack the pair of them tonight susi everyone should stay away including season ticket holders. All Mitchell is interested in is what lines his and his families pockets. No supporters = no money for any of them.

Brooks Out
Groves Out
Mitchells Out if they don't turn it around now.

Dont't forget that we still have to pay Bradbury for another two years and if we sack these two jokers, we will have to pay them for another two years too. Demin has lent the club £6 million already which has probably been spent. Do you really think he will dip in his pockets once again to pay for yet another manager? And an established manager wouldn't come cheap. I suspect Demin now knows Mitchell alot better and won't lend another penny. I for one wouldn't blame him. Would you?

How much longer are Mitchell & Demin going to keep the faith with our totally inept management duo? It must be as blatantly obvious to them as it is to us supporters that Groves & Brooks are completely out of their depth managing a League One club. Groves's win ratio as a manager has to be one of the poorest in the entire football league and it's easy to see why from the dreadful and mind numbingly dull tactics he employs. The players are clearly not responding to this style of play and the fans have had enough too. We want attractive positive football, not dross! We want to see passion and commitment, not players going through the motions. Enough is enough Mitchell. It's time for you to act and bring this stupid mistake of yours to an end. Most of the fans knew appointing the cheap option yet again wouldn't work and so it's been proved. Even Lee Bradbury was better than these two clowns.
The fans want a PROVEN manager. Someone with a decent record at this level or above. Someone with personality and gravitas that the players will respond to and play for. Someone that will raise the bar at AFC Bournemouth above the hopeless mediocrity we have tolerated since Eddie Howe was forced out. NO MORE EXCUSES Mitchell. Groves & Brooks have to go. You know it and so do the supporters. Monday's sport headline MUST say "Groves & Brooks SACKED! (And if it also said Redknapp appointed in their place, so much the better!)

GROVES & BROOKS OUT!

Says he has learn some things about the players today.
Pugh has a thigh strain.
Arter - back.
Groves saying 12 out injured and that he had to play an 18 year (thats not going to give the poor lad much confience is it?)
He says he understands fans frustration and team needs to get back on track (has it been on track at all with Groves/Brook?)
No mention of tactics etc being wrong. (I think he still had enough decent players to use)

To the good fans of bournemouth i agree your manager needs to be sacked no passion and no clue. i thought you started the game pretty well but soon as we got the 1st goal he didnt have a clue to change tactics or even get your players going again, i saw a lot of despondant faces on bournemouth players during the 2nd half. Eddie Mitchell is ruining your club and Groves in my view should be sacked now. i know some fans will say well its only 8 games but games these days come quick and fast and before you know it we will be at the xmas period which i always say is the cruicial period and where teams can look at the table and see where they are more likely to finish. You have a good squad of players and you should be in that top 8 teams in the table. but were very poor today. to be fair i thought 1st half we were very good and were good in last 15 mins of 2nd half we played some good football. Your manager has no passion and hardly even saw him come out onto touchline and try to gee your players up or shout instructions. Di canio was going ballistic when we were 3-0 and 4-0 up shouting at our players who had a good game as he always demands more. I know Di canio likes to be center of attention and likes it to be his show. but 1 thhing is he very passionate and drives that swindon team to work hard every day and play for the fans and the badge. since di canio has come he has changed our club. and thats what all your fans deserve with the money been spent and mitchell being in charge.

Wake up to reality, Groves wasn't appointed because he was the cheap option (Jesus, we've been buying any one that can tie a football boot) Groves is there because he will bow to Mitchell, put up with Nappy Rash Tom Mitchell and last but not least, he will have Mitchell's son-in-law as his number 2, Mr Clueless Brooks. Fact is Mitchell and his clan are here at this club for one reason ONLY..!!...To Cream all the money they can. why change the habit of a life time eh, Mitchell could not give a fling fuuuck what the fans think nor will he sack Groves due to the above facts. MITCHELL IS WHAT HE IS. The only issue I can't get my head round is why the Russian keeps throwing good money into Mitchell & Co's pockets. MITCHELL IS KILLING THIS CLUB, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. OUR ONLY HOPE IS THE FAT DRUNK DOES ONE OR KEELS OVER TOMORROW. Boycott home games, that's about all the fans can do and pray the Russian saves us from oblivion. .

we are all behind the team its the manager we are all unhappy with ,i cannot justify buying a season ticket due to the call out system i have to adhere to at work but i attend every home game that my work schedual allows for the first time ever i chose not to travel to a local away fixture as im that disillusioned with the management i could not justify the fuel nor the price of the ticket and this is ther lowest i have felt in the 40 years i have supported the team

The renegade master is laughable with his comments as he thinks his team should be beating teams like us.

Well lets spell out the facts renagade-you were stuffed today and if the 3 that also hit the woodwork had gone in you would have been totally embarassed.

First half you couldnt live with us and your team only got out their half 3 or 4 times as you were penned in .
You have a really poor back four and i was expecting alot more from Bournemouth today after all the hype you lot have given your team and i cant believe you have spent the money you have on Tubbs and Grabban as i dont believe they are L1 level.
You have to take into account your looked poor as not many sides will do what we did to you today and we took our foot off the pedal second hald as we were coasting. You probably had a ten minute spell second half where you had to go for it but even then you looked poor in front of goal.
You have no pace at the back and your two centre backs are shocking but you also have to give us credit as we made you look worse.
i told you lot a few weeks ago to underestimate us at your peril as we will be pushing this season and if you are supposedly one of the better sides in the league then it says alot for the rest as you looked very very poor.
I wonder if Mitchell now prefers your manager over Paolo.
By the way where were all your fans all the talk of 1500-2000 i knew was a fantasy as you never have brought that many and even to your nearest game. A poor turn out by your fans only 700 and a load of you leaving with 25 minutes left as you were totally embarrassed by the team in red.
You seriously need to analyse that we are a superior team in all departments to you and deservedly won and probably should have been 6-0.
Cant believe you paid 800k for Tubbs it make Ritchie worth 5 million !!!!!!!!!! so tell your idiot mouthy chairman but he will never go to you anyway as why would he go to a club going no where.

After reading your comments and reading what your management have to say, this was all very same ish as what we had from Wafflin Danny Wilson in his last season with us, and we went down as a result. Your side, which has some players who have enjoyed better is also reminiscent of our side that season, plenty of supposed good players, not performing to their level. I hope you get the picture, and you are quite correct, you need a new manager. Your Chairman can say what he likes about Canioman, but at least he never stops striving to get the best out of the team, and yes he does muck up at times, but the benefit does follow. Your travelling supporters will have seen that if they stayed until the end. Good luck under new management, but don't let 'arry try and buy you out of trouble.

Ah yes. But we get the last laugh because we don't live in the dump of a town, called Swindon.

Ah yes, you're all laughing on here. You are nothing. You call our Town a dump? Nobody even thinks of going to your hole out of the summer season! Thats why six people i work with from boringmouth, come to Swindon to work.

Come down on you horse and trap soon. You could always bring your six fingered sister, I mean wife, with you. You will probably be able to set camp up on the pitch at Dean Court pretty soon, I'd imagine.

No thanks, may come down to watch us batter boringmouth again...you are nothing. 4-0, all your millions??? Laughing at you here in our dump!! six fingers? I'm impressed you could even count that high tbh.

So another week passes and another dreadful performance to write about. This time a 4-0 stuffing from a side we should be beating every day of the week. Utter rubbish.
How much longer are Mitchell & Demin going to keep the faith with our totally inept management duo? It must be as blatantly obvious to them as it is to us supporters that Groves & Brooks are completely out of their depth managing a League One club. Groves's win ratio as a manager has to be one of the poorest in the entire football league and it's easy to see why from the dreadful and mind numbingly dull tactics he employs. The players are clearly not responding to this style of play and the fans have had enough too. We want attractive positive football, not dross! We want to see passion and commitment, not players going through the motions. Enough is enough Mitchell. It's time for you to act and bring this stupid mistake of yours to an end. Most of the fans knew appointing the cheap option yet again wouldn't work and so it's been proved. Even Lee Bradbury was better than these two clowns.
The fans want a PROVEN manager. Someone with a decent record at this level or above. Someone with personality and gravitas that the players will respond to and play for. Someone that will raise the bar at AFC Bournemouth above the hopeless mediocrity we have tolerated since Eddie Howe was forced out. NO MORE EXCUSES Mitchell. Groves & Brooks have to go. You know it and so do the supporters. Monday's sport headline MUST say "Groves & Brooks SACKED! (And if it also said Redknapp appointed in their place, so much the better!)

GROVES & BROOKS OUT!
GROVES & BROOKS OUT!
GROVES & BROOKS OUT!

I do not want to see anyone lose their job but it i blatantly obvious our man is out of his depth and sinking fast. Cotterill is the man and lives locally.

For the amount of money being spent, do we seriously want a manager whom can only boast managing Grimsby Town? To lose 4-0 is no disgrace, sometimes you just get beat on the day. But the fact we're not competitive on a consistent basis is extremely worrying. I'm not convinced about Groves, the fact Tubbs spent has been on the bench screams volumes. We need a manager whom has a track record of building teams at Championship/League One level. Whilst I do commend Mitchell for appointing managers from within the club, no one in our club has experience handling such huge resources. I think Steve Cotterill would be a shrewd appointment. Has experience, good tactical understanding, even if only till the end of the season. He will do... anything other than Groves. (And Quinn!)

I've followed AFCB for 32 years and on paper this is the strongest squad we have ever had in terms of depth. Unfortunately football is not won on paper. I'm not just a Cherries fan but a big football fan and I'll be honest and say I had not heard of Paul Groves when he was appointed. I had to look him up on the internet and saw he captained Grimsby when they beat us at Wembley and then remembered who he was. Why spend a fortune on the team when you get a manager who is totally unproven and relatively unknown. If you include the games at the end of last season he's had about 14 or so games and we are clearly getting worse and worse. The players are lacking confidence and direction and things need to change. Not at Christmas but now. There are still a huge number of points to play for but we have given other teams a good start on us. Please don't rush the new appointment Mitchell or go for another cheap option. Get someone who is proven at this level. I can assure you that when Groves and Mitchell are sacked, you will get a lot of people keen to take over. People outside the club can see how much we are spending and what you are trying to achieve and there will be people that apply who are capable of getting this squad there, into the Championship.

Lets listen to the excuses today. Groves and Brooks should be ashamed to pick up their wages. Get them both on the dole queue now.

Dont't forget that we still have to pay Bradbury for another two years and if we sack these two jokers, we will have to pay them for another two years too. Demin has lent the club £6 million already which has probably been spent. Do you really think he will dip in his pockets once again to pay for yet another manager? And an established manager wouldn't come cheap. I suspect Demin now knows Mitchell alot better and won't lend another penny. I for one wouldn't blame him. Would you?

I think it is poor very few of you are able to admit that we were every bit as good as you were bad. There was not one Swindon player who was out classed by his opposing man. Matt Richie destroyed your RB, your CB's were awful, midfield was a complete mess and your formation baffling. Your front men playing as individuals and most passes were hopeful punts. I thought your support was poor given the 'ok' turn out (we took over 1400 to Pompey on a Tuesday night btw). I would think that you should look at our performance and be genuinely concerned about how any manager could get your over-priced players to perform anything like as well as Swindon today. If some posters here think you should be beating teams 'like Swindon' week in, week out, then surely today was even more humiliating a defeat. Many if you were so happy to embrace EM & PG while they splashed the cash about fueling your blind optimism and claims of being a big club. I do however think you are all being shafted and should be deeply concerned.....

clearly we need a change of leadership but not sure Steve Cotterill is the answer Forest were heading for relegation last season until SOD was brought in as first team coach also was resposible for some really dull football. also not brilliant at Sunderland
when he was there but if brought in temporary charge could be OK just to see if he could sort things out till end of season

Thats what I have been saying since EH left. The word has got around in the football fraternity - they all know that the Mitchells are running a dictatorship at Dean Court. The weak link at AFCB are The Mitchells. Hopefully they wont be around too much longer, however, I fear for the mess they are going to leave behind - they are bleeding the club dry. (which is what I said they would do from day one)

Just logged in myself to catch up on the latest news and see the dictatorship is still in place. The club I have supported for 50 years is in a state of shameless decay. I will just have to keep monitoring the news for any new "Developments" ?

poor steady eddie is a bit upset- face the facts Bournemouth will always be a small club L1 is your maximum level and most of your history has been in L2 or L1. You get small crowds most weeks and you have never taken a large following when you play us so dont blam it on the £25 entrance fee. You need to face facts you were outplayed by a better team and if you think as some have commented you should be beating teams like us -WHY? because you spent 800k on Matt Tibbs who used to play for salisbury when all ican say is your club were idiots to pay it as he is a L2 player at best and lets face it he probably worth 70-80k at best.
Never mind little bournemouth we'll do the same again at your place as well so dont think it was a one off we played MK off the park as well and they are one of the favourites to go up.
theres more to come from us yet as well and we were only in 3rd gear yesterday. Lets face it who scores four goals at Stoke well we did and they thought we would run out of steam but in fact it was the opposite Stoke ran out of steam. You cherries need to give credit where its due and you were totally outclassed by us troubel is your too afraid to admit it.
Your back four are shocking and ican see you letting in more goals with what you have in place for defenders.

No, your ridiculous statement that your lot should be beating us week in week out - about the only thing your lot are capable of beating at the moment is an egg.

However no malice aforethought - we've also had dark days of despair not even knowing if we'd continue to have a club to support not so long ago.

No particular knowledge of Mitchell or Groves but its pretty evident the Bournemouth faithful don't rate either of them. I hope you retain your L1 status but life ain't a bowl of Cherries at the moment for you is it!

It's not a ridiculous statement to say AFCB should be beating the likes of Swindon week in week out with the money my club have spent out on quality players. Your club's doing ok at the moment because you've got lucky with DiCanio in charge - like we did with Eddie Howe, but as soon as a bigger club comes in he will be gone just like Howe was. Then you'll be off back to League Two where you belong.
