Timoney calls for 'patience'
TRUST CHAIRMAN: Derek Timoney
TRUST CHAIRMAN: Derek Timoney

SUPPORTERS' trust chairman Derek Timoney has called on Cherries fans to remain patient as the club's takeover saga continues to drag.

Administrator Gerald Krasner said the process may take "most of May" when he announced Jeff Mostyn as the preferred bidder at the end of last month.

And although Krasner was expected to give fans an update earlier this week, his plans have been delayed as a series of meetings have had to be rescheduled.

Timoney, who has been in regular dialogue with Cherries vice-chairman Steve Sly, told the Daily Echo: "We've been assured by Steve that things are progressing and everything should be sorted out shortly.

"We understand that negotiations with interested parties are continuing and we've been informed that, when these negotiations have been completed, discussions with the supporters' trust will follow as a matter of course.

"We understand supporters' frustrations but, given the fact that everything we are being told now is positive, we just ask for patience. We understand the interested parties are following all the correct procedures and these things do take time."

Meanwhile, Mostyn's bid to take Cherries out of administration is nothing to do with former boss Harry Redknapp, the Daily Echo understands.

Portsmouth boss Redknapp was reported in yesterday's Daily Express to be on the verge of bailing out his former club, possibly with the involvement of sons Jamie and Mark.

However, although Mostyn is yet to reveal the identity of his potential fellow investors, neither Redknapp nor any of his family is believed to be among them.

Although the Daily Echo spoke to Mostyn at length yesterday, he politely declined to issue any on-the-record statement while negotiations were ongoing.

When asked whether he knew if any of the Redknapp family were involved with Mostyn's bid, Krasner said: "I have an idea who is involved with Jeff, but only Jeff will answer that question. I'm not dealing with Mr Redknapp in any capacity whatsoever. I'm dealing with Mr Mostyn on behalf of his consortium."

Will the Echo ever do any investigative work into this shambles or print anything that we've not already been told a hundred times?

Another nothing story, when you see we have been assured etc you know they are as much in the dark as everyone else, it's all getting rather dull and and end would be very much appreciated, don't you think 5 months is long enough to sort things out after all were we not a week from going bust in February?

I think the ST have positioned themselves very poorly is this article is acurate, in my opinion the ST are the check and balance to protect our club, and whilst recognising they are not in a strong position, they should be asking and getting answers to the difficult questions. Be under no illsions when Jeff gains full control, the ST will not have a voice, and they really are missing the boat on this saga. The rumour is that Battey and Musker have effectively been dropped by the Mostyn camp. It would be sad to see the end of the ST, but I think that is now a very likely outcome, as they could and should have had a far greater influence and voice in this saga, and effectively it would appear that they have done nothing but to have a few meetings with J & S and accepted what they have been told without question.One must assume if that is the case the ST are in support of the Mostyn consortium, and have had sight of the vision and business plan from which to make that judgement.

Supporters Trust Chairman or Mouthpiece for Mostyn and Sly? maybe just another attention chaser?
Posted by: spoon, Poole on 9:25am Wed 21 May 08
'The club' has never taken the ST seriously from the start, the Community Club ethos has not been accepted by the club, just another revenue stream, going fwd Mostyn wont want ST involvement, the cash but not involved....

ITS GOING TO TAKE AGES TO GET ANY TRUTH>
go on your hols, because nothing seems to be remotely happening, and the awful question is have we got any investors, or is it a very large smokescreen?

Breaking news.........Dr Who is Mostyns mystery backer. We are going back twenty years and starting all over again. Next year we play at Dean Court and Dave Webb is taking over as manager.Only £5 to get in.Pay at the gate.. no more queues.

This story has more realism than some i have read in the last few days.

What is happening re season tickets? The administrator is out of funds. Any one got £50,000 for Vokes.Watch this space. If we do not sort out administration in the next couple of days some silly money player sales will be taking place.

Tomorrows big news exclusive will be the barmaid at KB's golf club admitting she has never spoken to him about the takeover.

Come on Echo - investigative journalism please.

Mr Mostyn ,please let go , give us a break.You ain't no King Midas M8.

How many of the ST have you got in your pocket?

The whole affair is a "B" Joke !!!!
Posted by: Richard Mayes on 1:01pm Wed 21 May 08
It is a good thing that we have "Buzz" to find out what is happening at Dean Court, one would have thought that if as stated a Liverpool Company is involved with Mostyns consortium to the extent that their CEO is engaged in negoiating players contracts and is set to be our CEO, that the Echo would be aware of this. As for the headline "Harry is not involved" just how did they arrive at this, Krasner, doesn't know?, Harry and Jeff won't say! Unproven I would have thought. But on a serious note, this can't drag on much longer without even more serious consequences for the Club. A team has to be assembled and some confidence restored if they are going to sell Season Tickets.

The Liverpool company is SPORT - 6 i believe that they tried to buy Chester City. No real money but big ideas and was it not Mark Jackson who introduced Jeff to them ? Enough said . There must be more to life than AFCB this whole saga is driving me round the bend.....

Well according to the web sites the CEO in waiting is Alastair Saverimutto, does not appear to have any money or have made too much impact, tired to but Chester City was Deputy CEO at Everton, if the rumours are accurate I hope he knows how weak the infrastruture is, and lets hope he knows we are a family club not a PLC unless Jeff has suddenly gained access to lots of money, still everone deserves a chance so if it is true lets hope he can deliver where others have failed only time will tell, somehow I have this sixth sense this is all going to go very horribly wrong, I just hope I am wrong, because if it does it will be the end of the club as we know it, and that would be so sad, so the stakes are high and I hope Mostyn and Sly have got it right this time in selecting their partners, they dont have a very impressive record, more one of desparation

Amazing some posters on here We have a trust that is at least working hard and then some people want to knock em dead. If they dont speak to people they are slagged off and if they do they are in league with them. What do you expect if Mostyn and Sly want to talk to any of them should they not listen.

You are talking to the wrong people, we support our local team, perhaps if more people like you bothered to do that rather than take pleasure in the problems then we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place. It always makes me sick when local people who will more than likely wear a Chelsea or Man U shirt have a go at our club when it's going through tough times, perhaps one day they will understand what a loss it would be to Bournemouth if the club were to fold, on the other hand they probably know the Utd line up and watch them on Sky rather than go see their local team, bunch of losers.

Yes - what on earth were our representatives on the board doing whilst the club was going down the pan? Directors have a duty to know what is going on. Clearly they did not. Having said that, it is not the issue. Things are out of our hands now. We need the club to be taken out of the hands of the administrator - if its JM at the helm, we have to live with it.

I agree whole heartedly with Steve Bowman,when i lived in Bournemouth many years ago they were in trouble then. The money that has been poured down the drain since could have been used to get the louts cleared out of the council estates or putting in more speed humps and cctv.

No wonder you live in the Costa Blanca, you have no idea what is going on in the Bournemouth area, and the club is a business and nothing to do with the Council, if you want to start that argument what about the money from the awful Imax or the money spent on Castle point, they couldn't even build it right, your argument has nothing to do with football and is way off target. Also what is the accusation about louts on Council estates don't you think that is very insulting for a large number of people who are an important part of the community, but what would you know living out in England on Sea, how was the fry up this morning?

You are absolutely right thats why i live on the Costa.I do not even think the louts are people and we would be better off without them. Unfortunately so called football supporters come from a CHT background.

Oh yes you are known to me from the Con club.

Mark allegedly a bankrupt and Jamie and 'Arry tied to lucrative football associated contracts so forget about the Redknapps.

Mostyn will purchase the club when he syndicates the Krasner and Mostyn Show to ITV.

I went to the Costa Blanca but got fed up with all the Man U and Chelsea shirts chip shops and ex pats who went out there cos it was cheap and now are realising that it was cheap for a reason I am sure you live in a nice part though My mate who is loaded lives in Torreqiver (or something) bit to close to Benidorm for my liking Blackpool with heat. Get out quick before you lose your investment (not a joke )

You southern softies don't have a decent team (apart from Pompey) to support yet you take AFCB and the comments page on them so seriously. As for that old guy Pete Woodley supporting AFCB for 62 years I can understand why he makes such unintelligent comments – He’s gone bonkers!
Come on England!! Play up Pompey –FA Cup winners 2008 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you had half a brain,and knew anything about afcb.you would not make such a comment,i have also played over 500 games which i doubt you never will or have,i dont always agree with some of the stupid and arrogant statements here but they are mainly from supporters,not outsiders like you stirring it and being childish and offensive.but as you are another anonymous coward from afar,"you are so brave".

Woodley quote:-"Played over 500 games" Woodley this is a football thread not tiddly winks!!
Seems you want to upset everyone Woodley but you will never get the better of me!
I love football- real football and the England Team and I am a true British Bulldog not a tiddly winks player so do not dis me!
Why don't you go and join Vokes at Wolverhampton and leave Bournemouth for good.
Vokes was an AFCB player as you probably didn't know who he was. Pity he is playing for Wales though.
