Cannae Holdings, the Bill Foley-led company that are majority shareholders in Black Knight Football Entertainment, Cherries' parent company, have posted a statement after the first quarter of the financial year.
The relevance to Cherries? The glowing review provided by the company, who believe that the club have exceeded expectations.
In the statement there is a reference to Cherries improving the academy pool of the club.
The Daily Echo understands that this approach will involve aggressive recruitment at academy level, with the club looking to increase wages to entice the best talent to their development squad.
Cherries are currently in their first season as Category Two academy, with hopes that the new training ground will allow progression to attaining Category One status sooner rather than later.
Voting for the Micky Cave/Daily Echo AFC Bournemouth player of the season has now closed, with the winner set to be announced at 9am tomorrow.
You can take a look back at the previous winners of the award in this piece for subscribers.
