Embargo To Be Lifted?

Last updated : 27 June 2009 By Bournemouth Co-Ordinator
On the pending winding up order being brought by the HMRC, Eddie Mitchell is quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "Hopefully we can get the embargo lifted. I don't want to be over ambitious though - our main aim is to get the club on a sound footing off the field. We don't want to see the people who work for the club living in the uncertainty they have been and I include the fans in that. To go steaming in talking about how far we can go with it all and what players we can get would be very unwise. We have to be level-headed and sensible about our approach. It will be hands-on, but it's new to me at this level and I don't want to get it wrong. I haven't really looked at the stadium rent. It's a pressing issue, though, and we will be delegating it to one member of the board to try to get to grips with, but it's too early to say more. I know it's a headache for the club and it would be great to get the stadium back, but our most important issue is to get wages to those people who work at the club who haven't been paid. That is the number one priority".
