oO) Nothing about Fowler in the Herald, no real suprise imo. There's only a 5% chance we'll get any players people have actually heard of, but the quicker we actually get some new blood in, the easier our Pre-Season will be. etc etc etc
Apparently are fans [well some, not most] booed the administrator on his entrance to a meeting last night, so nice to see our fans are all happy about the club being saved.

Buckle gave him until Monday, it would appear as if Cureton wanted to go to a club close to Essex, where his bird lives. He issued a come and get me plea yesterday to Colchester. However Colly fans aren't that fond of Curo so the move would of been a disaster imo. Orient is fairly close to Essex so it makes sense for him.
Take-over deal should be complete by the end of this week...
We are so close to ending this ****, but there's still going to be one final twist and turn... I hope we never ever have to go through this again, because I can honestly say it has been pure ****. If it done by Friday, I will jump for joy and [hopefully] watch our new team unfold...

Resurgam ! :wub:
Charlton have signed Danny Hollands, John Sullivan, Cedric Evina, Mikel Alonso (Xabi's brother!!), Paul Hayes, Dale Stephens and Danny Green. All good players. At least we are showing some ambition now. 3 centre backs and maybe one more striker and I will start to be optimistic about next season. Especially happy with Stephens and Green as they were reportedly being chased by championship clubs.
Apparently we have signed Danny Wheldon who last played for Royal Racing Football Club Montegnee- Who he was CB and captain for. On a trial the rumour on PASOTI is, of course I'm not sure if its true.
He started his career with Devon-Side Dawlish Town [Who are basically 12th tier] and then moved to Torquay, who never made an apperance for. Truro standard player imo, hope its wrong but sadly the reality could just be we are forced into buying players of Non-League Standard. From the days of blowing 500k on Steve Maclean and Simon Walton, to buying former Dawlish Town CB's. What has our club come to? <)

Charlton seem to be signing everyone. Dales Stephens is alright but i think he is only good enough to be back up for any decent championship team. As i live in Bournemouth and have watched them a few times over the past few years i would say that danny hollands is a good player but i think that him and stephens are on par with each other and with some decent coaching they could be good. As for Danny Green I am a bit envious as i think he is a good player. TBH IMO you need a pacey centre back as Doherty will be beaten by anyone with pace. I think you should sign someone like Mathieu Baudry from Bournemouth as i have heard he is one for the future.
Oh dear! I hope this is not what Plymouth has to resort to. You need to get out of administration ASAP otherwise you could have a messed up few years trying to get out of league 2

We could be out of Administration as soon as tomorrow, but it probably won't make any difference in the calibre of player we will attract. Everyone will have seen how long players have gone without wages, how Kari Arnason was treated, and stuff like that- Even in the Championship we wasn't an attractive prospect to come play for, sadly 2 divisions down we won't be taking in any League 2 standard players. Maybe a few half-decent BSP's, and some loans.
Leave Bournemouth playerrs alone!
I can see Jalal going as well! After Eddie Howe left your squad seems to be slowly falling apart! It would be a shame if AFCB go back to what it was when i used to watch them, with decent players being sold of far to cheaply and signing people on loans and frees and just about surviving every year.
Also have you seen next years kit?

Who-ever buys the club needs to do some investing in players and try to get back into league 1 first time. It seems like you have been in administration for ever! you could try buying up all of the fl standard players at non-league clubs and bring in a few quality loan signings. I think you may have signed this guy on trial to make up the numbers at pre season training? It would make more sense if it was that as then the local club gets a player back with good quality of training and improved fitness and Argyle have some one who has experience of first team football (despite being at a very low level) to try to influence the younger lads. How does that sound?

Jalal' stay if he gets a decent contract, or unless we get offered massive money, which again I doubt. But the whole Howe thing was inevitable really, it's what happens to small clubs all the time, especially the ones with poor finances like AFCB have. Plus f-ing Rhoys Wiggins is leaving now too, for God's sake
.I quite like the new kit, different from normal. And fletch modelling it! AFC Bournemouth | News | Latest News | Latest News | A STAR RE-BOURNE - HOME KIT REVEALED
Who knows. It could be that, but sadly I just can't tell anymore. I don't know who or what to believe these days.
And about getting out of League 2, for me we have to be realistic- We won't be challenging for promotion for another 2/3 seasons. I have no admibitions of Super Players, Money being thrown at the club or a playoff challenge. I only have one wish, which is much more important than whatever happens on the pitch and thats the Staff & Players get all the money and wages they are owed.

TBH why sign Flahavan who is 32 and will want first team football if Jalal is going to stay? to me it doesn't really make sense. I can see that Dan Thomas (i know him
) hasn't got the experience and needs to be loaned out to get some but why not sign a reasonably young keeper who is still learning themselves (kinnda like Jon Stewart but without his attitude)The new kit reminds me of and old Cherries kit i have from when focla point sponsored them before just with different sleves. Despite that I think its nice to see bournemouth back in the red and black stripes, it just didn't look right without them

Fair enough. I think whoever does buy the club will have to re-develop the main stand (the one that is separate from the other three) as it was looking a bit outdated but it will be fine in league 2. I think you need a leader on the pitch, someone like Paul Wotton, who can lift everyones spirits and never gives up.
Also im guessing you will have seen this: BBC Sport - Kari Arnason starts trial with Hearts
It looks to me like he did what he did because he knew other clubs would be interested if he was a free agent.

If we got Wotton, I would actually be delighted. We should of never released him, he's a legend. I actually would love to have him back, but sadly he's under contract at Yeovil, so it seems unlikely.
Walton & Damien Johnson will probably be leaving; Wages are way to big for a L2 Club, ability good enough for a L1 side, unless a wage-drop is took [and a big one at that] we won't be able to afford to keep them. I want to see a young, exciting CM next to Fletcher. Someone like Conor Clifford, because now Fletcher will have to become our Wotton, a true leader on and off the pitch. I also don't want a loan GK. I want Larrieu to be first choice; Everything he's done for this club, he still has ability and deserves to be our number one. I just hope these 'Irish' folk hurry the **** up, stop messing with our football club, pay the staff and then worry about giving us a nice cinema.
We are just about under 40 days until the new season starts- No Kit, No Training Kit, No Squad, No Season-Tickets. Get it done with tomorrow please.

**** off Football League
You've not helped us out once during our long spell in Administration, you've not bothered to help any of the unpayed staff, you've not bovered to reply to any emails or phone-calls from concerned fans. The same can be said about the FA. Is this a case of; Who cares if Plymouth Argyle are about to go bust, because we would rather they did, then have Peter Ridsdale in charge?
How do they expect us to sign players, if they won't sign the agreement, because of their 'strict' rules and regulations. If their rules and regulations were that great, then we wouldn't of got into this mess in the first place. Stop messing with this club :S
