Deal Done With Murry Group

Last updated : 21 June 2009 By Bournemouth Co-Ordinator
With the Murry Group set to take control of the Club on June 22nd, it is expected that the new Board will consist of Adam Murry, Jeff Mostyn, Steve Sly, Eddie Mitchell and son in law Neill Blake. The deal will also see Mitchell and Blake step down from the current roles at Dorchester Town.

Speaking in the Bournemouth Evening Echo, Adam Murry is quoted as saying: "We are delighted the deal has finally come to fruition and are very much looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead. We realise these challenges will not be easy but will undertake to get the club back on an even keel as quickly as possible. We are not white knights and, contrary to what some people may believe, we were the only realistic deal on the table. We stuck with it through thick and thin while some parties fell by the wayside and others failed to deliver on their promises. We are confident we can get this club back where it belongs. It's not going to be easy because it has had a rough ride for the past couple of years and we realise it is going to be an uphill task. Lots of things need to be sorted out and we will be addressing them in the fullness of time. Some are more pressing than others and, predictably, the urgent issues are mostly financial. Lots of questions also need answering and we will endeavour to do this when the time is right. We are determined for the club to be as successful off the pitch as we hope it will be on it. This club is an essential part of the community and lots of schemes will be launched to reflect this. We will be going out to schools to make sure this club is promoted. We need all the ill-feeling of the past to be confined to history. We want a positive mental attitude and want to make this club a major part of the community".
