Cherries: Ex-Saints coach Rofe in line for Dean Court role (From Bournemouth Echo)

Get Harewood and get rid of at least 3 of the strikers off the pay roll.

Welcome to Dennis Rofe too. At last !! Someone with Football Experience !! See how long he lasts when he locks horns with our very inexperienced 'Director of Football'

harewood would be brilliant, but why did we sign so many strikers - it's ridiculous. I hope we get him. he's 32 now, could be prolific like stein was
Fletcher = dinosaur
Tubbs = biggest waste of 800k + wages ever
Sheringham = there's only 1 teddy sheringham
Symes = do we still have him? he's better than tubbs
Groban = if he plays like josh sings he could be 150k well spent
Mcquoid = over rated/paid, he played about 3 or 4 outstanding games in the eddie howe dream team and he's been very average before and after
Stockley = send him out on loan
Wes Thomas = seems he on't be playing in the first team any more, he's brilliant when he's on form, but to inconsistent

Sorry - Harewood is the wrong choice. A non eventful return to Forest and now no more than a 'journeyman'

Harewoods best days at West Ham were seven years ago and he would not cut it even in league 1 now

Dennis Rolfe is a good appointment - now bring back Joe to run the Youth set up. Agree too that Harewood's past it. We need defenders and a ball winner in mid field rather more than yet another striker - we have after all the "mystery man" to add to the present eight!!

Rolfe ,matter of taste i guess but Joe Roach surely has more self respect than to return , it will not happen.
Harewood ? Why would there be any passion for signing this has been?

Agree that Dennis ROFE is a good appointment. He will keep the players on their toes.

He has spent a few months playing for a Chinese Club, for whom he scored 4 in 10 games, but laterly with Forest , 1 goal in 10 appearances ( off the bench). But at 32 and a conviction ( 18 months) for a sexual assult on a woman - surely should rule him out. We have Cook going for trial and the lad at Dorchester - accused of assaulting a female. We surely don't want another - just imagine the chants from other Club's supporters with two or three of them playing! Yes rehabilitation is essential, but these are nasty crimes and I for one, wouldn't like to see anyone convicted of this type of crime playing for the Club. We are after all supposed to be a "Family Club".

Wouldn't mind Harewood but would perfer someone a little younger and agree with everyone stating we need to be strengthening in other areas aswell
With the prospect of a decent/experienced coach on board and the fact the first game of the season is away to pompey I for one am buzzing and excited about the season a head!
UTCIAD!!

Here here to that SOC, as you rightly say, I'd not want anyone convicted of those crimes playing for us either!!!

I think Dennis Rofe would be a fantastic addition, a lot of experience and he has extensive contacts in the game, can only be good for the club.

Do not want Marlon, also he's not at a foreign club. Not the mystery man, with the drama over Cook, we don't need to fan the flames with that bloke

Bowles was not only accused he was convicted Perhaps we should sign Rhat ex plymouth goalkeeper ang Lee Hughes and of course Marlon King in a few Years As for Rofe plenty of experience and an ex defender to go with the ex offenders

anyone going by train be careful thoes little **** will ambush you on the way to the ground near the petrol station. Expect bottles and bricks if you wear colours. I view Portsmouth as he south coast Millwall.
I might opt for the offical coach from AFCB its safer lol

sorry wrong page

I see Swindon have won the race to sign Gary Roberts - I think we've missed out on a really good player here, and the fact he's signed for a small club like Swindon shows that we could have had him if we'd shown a real interest.

Let's hope that the other positions (midfield, defense) don't get neglected. Haven't been linked to any players apart from forwards of late. All well and good but we do need a balance in squad depth!

we should have gone in for bean who was released by brentford, he's at his peak and is a great player at this level. he proved that in both games against us when he scored 1 and played well

I think this may be a case of mistaken identity soc. I think the player you are thinking of was actually Marlon King, sacked by Wigan. Apolagies if i'm wrong. Still, i'm really not sure if Harewood is the answer to our lack of bite in the middle of the park but i guess our vastly experienced director of football knows best, erm ????

Dont think we needed Roberts, a winger without any great pace. We are not short of wingers so would prefer we strengthened in the middle- a tough tackling enforcer. Swindon are welcome to him- second rate player to a third rate club!!!

Marlon Harewood will be seeking a high wage and his career has been a catalogue of underachievement apart from a period at West Ham. He's not the answer at this stage of his career.

Yes, it was Marlon KING. Not surprising SOC got it wrong, after all, he is calling Dennis ROFE, Dennis ROLFE!! I expect you call yourself Square Old Codger because you can't remember your own name!!

Welcome to the club Dennis it is now an official appointment info available on the clubs website steps in the right direction how good a closed season we have had should be apparent on the 18th August at frat ton park

Harewood is a rubbish suggestion for AFCB target man we have just missed the best young prospect Williams ex Yeovil now gone to Swindon.
Where is our new ball winning midfielder I am not impressed with our targets so far smacks of Tom Mitchells usual failures

Our highly decorated director of football has had more than 18 months to sort out defence, midfield already. Here is a tip Tom, get on PFA website and have a look at vast array of talented out of contract players available and that list will be huge at end of this month, no transfer fee.

We were rumoured to be interested in HESKEY a while back. Dont think he'd drop to L1 but would be a real handful at this level. Wages prob to high though.
