GERALD Krasner has turned down two offers for prized asset Sam Vokes while stricken Cherries have been in administration, the Echo understands.
While Krasner would not be drawn on the identity of the player in question at yesterday's press conference, teenage strike sensation Vokes is believed to be the one attracting the bids.
And Echo sources claim Krasner rejected a "derisory" offer from Championship side Burnley, while it is understood Southend United also had a bid turned down for the Lymington-based frontman.
Addressing the media yesterday, Krasner, who confirmed Jeff Mostyn's new consortium as the successful bidders for the ailing club, said: "There have been offers for a certain player that I have turned down on the basis that the funders (Mostyn) continued to fund me.
"I'm not intending to sell any players before this deal is completed, so the new club will have the players and it will be up to them what they do with the players."
Krasner added that monies from the sale of any player, which would have to be done as a loan deal with a view to a permanent move in the summer, would be deducted from the Mostyn consortium's offer.
And Krasner, acting for insolvency firm Begbies Traynor, hinted that any further interest in Kevin Bond's squad was also likely to be met with a not for sale' response.
He added: "The deal we have is that if I do sell any player, it comes off the offer.
"I've had two offers, one in writing and one over the phone, and I know of three other clubs that are going to offer more money than I've turned down, which I also think will be turned down."
Meanwhile, Krasner defended the stipulation in the Mostyn deal that reduces the offer if a CVA proposal is rejected and the club is, potentially, docked more points by the Football League.
He said: "It's completely logical. The balance of probabilities is the club will be relegated, as the recent results have shown unless three other clubs go into administration and lose 10 points, Bournemouth will be relegated.
"Buying Bournemouth relegated is the basis upon which everyone has looked at it.
"However, buying Bournemouth relegated with minus 15 points is a completely different business that you're buying.
"Therefore the amount you're willing to pay for that business is considerably less.
"At minus 15, there's a chance Bournemouth could be out of the league a year later.
"It's not fixed in stone, it could be worse. They were talking about minus 30 at one point."
