Rift Denied!

Speaking to the Bournemouth Evening Echo, Chairman Peter Phillips is quoted as saying: "I've read the report and some of the things Sean said after the match could be, and were, ambiguous and could be interpreted as criticism of the board or the football club, but that wasn't his intention. I've talked it through with him and it was aimed outside the football club. Last week must have been an extremely frustrating week to be manager of this football club. Most weeks are, but last week was especially frustrating. You have to sympathise with the manager. He runs on a shoestring anyway, he's just lost one of his best players and it's all happened so quickly that he hasn't been able to get an adequate replacement in".
