League Allows Further Signings, & The U-turn

The Football League is allowing the Cherries to make a further signing. Speaking in the Bournemouth Evening Echo, manager Eddie Howe is quoted as saying: "The extra player we want to get in this week will help, but the league certainly make you dot the Is and cross the Ts to even get that far. We've had to send medical records to the league to prove we are genuinely in this situation and not pulling a fast one".

Since though, the League have changed their minds and have withdrawn permission for the Cherries to sign an extra player.
