No Guarantees, But Together We Can Win - Mitchell

Last updated : 27 June 2009 By Bournemouth Co-Ordinator
Speaking to the Bournemouth Evening Echo on his new role at the Cherries, Eddie Mitchell is quoted as saying: "I won't give any guarantees but I can say the board is very enthused and will give 120 per cent. It's fantastic to see Jeff, Steve and Adam so keen and so charming at the same time and I think we have a winning team off the field. So if we can get the support of the fans and capture Eddie Howe, hopefully we'll have a winning team on the field. Having spoken to Adam, Jeff and Steve, they sold me the idea that if we got a team together, we could offer some stability and I could take on a challenge. I like challenges and I believe this is one I can win. If I am given time, support and, God willing, good health, I can achieve something here. I've always felt I couldn't work with other people and I had always gone in on my own in the past, but when you meet people who are as enthusiastic as you and probably in some cases younger and more energetic, it's great to see. I think we can work together for some time and get the club stable. I would like to think I would never take up the option on the one share. I would like to think that it will remain as a board and I would have no privileges over that board. That's the way I would like to keep it. But if I feel strongly on something or think the board is going in the wrong direction, I might take that up. It's not about who's in charge though. It's about a communicative effort and at the moment we are all going in the same direction".
