Chris Mepham

There has never been a time that this club has been sustainable in my time as a supporter. If we end up back where we were then so be it. As suspected you've got nothing when pushed on how you'd run it differently other than spouting off about how everyone else is stupid or fickle.

Just to show you how easy it is I'll tell you how I'd run it - I'd spank loads on a new ground. This would probably bankrupt the club and we'd go down but then at least we'd have a permanently larger fanbase.

Presumably you'd just call people named on the internet. You never know, that might work.

Never ever mention a new ground on here again.
It will not happen.

Training round?..Just sell the land we purchased and buy a winger.
That was a waste of time, as I said when it went through.

How I was mocked.
How you were all very, very wrong.
 
This is a backwards move, he just isn’t going to be ready for the intensity or rigours of the premier league. We need an experienced defender. We will be relegated by mid April.

Have a look at any thread about the new ground ever to see my views on how likely it is to happen. I've fought enough battles on that topic not to have to put up with that generalisation thanks.
 
We have had discussions on here in the past and when we were down in the lower leagues about where the money goes.

So now we are enjoying our fourth season in the PL, it seems nothing changes.

Well, I could spend all night debating with you SDD, but we are opposite sides of reality, and it could descend in to you wanting an explanation for every word I say..
When first news came of the athletic stadium came to fore, please don't tell me you said it would never happen. You didn't. End of.

As above, we've wanted a right footed CB for bloody years, now we have one. Well done Eddie for addressing the issue, and welcome Chris Mepham. The likes of Franno and Cook in your position are big shoes to fill at this club, and we wish you all the best!

Cooks right footed but prefers the left side

I don't need an explanation of every word I'd just like you to explain your point, same as I always ask when you bleat on about our current financial situation.

They are spending loads of money on players. We can literally go and watch where the money is going every week. It may be unsustainable but we're hardly being ripped off as fans are we?

On the ground I'm still hopeful Demin or someone else will put his hand in his pocket and fund it. I am fully aware it doesn't find itself as I have explained literally hundreds of times.

There is a time lag but no great mystery about where the money goes, because the annual audited accounts are freely available on the Companies House website. Just search on AFC Bournemouth and filings. https://www.gov.uk/get-information-about-a-company

However, you still have not addressed the issue. If we want to include Mepham in a 4-4-2 who do we drop? Ake of S.Cook?

Or do we wait until either Ake or S.Cook have a bad run of form and would warrant dropping one of them for Mepham?

Or are we now assuming that Eddie is now going to go with three centre backs i.e S.Cook. Ake and Mepham.

I have raised a perfectly reasonable point here.

Eddie does sometimes play three at the back. No doubt he may do so again. That might include Mepham or it might include Simpson or Mings. Who knows except Eddie and Jason.

Mepham will add depth to the squad and the probable intention is to slowly blood him into the team as happened with Ake himself when he first came to us on loan, and has happened to Lewis Cook more recently.

Very impressed with his interview. Clearly intelligent, seems very down to earth but also ambitious.

However, you must take into account that most player interviews on signing for a new club are well rehearsed and probably pre-prepared.

They are hardly likely to come on and say - I really don't want to be here and I only signed for a giggle.

You don't have to ask. read the accounts. Understand them. Add on what we have spent since the accounts were produced, then you have a rough total.
I can't help you any more.
