I wonder if there will ever be a window where we're not linked with Yann. In 2,000 years when we're competing in the galactic third division and our half Belgian half Neptunian owner isn't investing enough money and is only bringing in players with experience of the Southern Andromeda League and a manager who has only coached on planet Florp we'll still be linked with Yann's head in a jar. And he'll still be better than what we've got.
In 2000 years, you'll be part of the Belgian Commonwealth. It will start with you lot sipping Stella Artois. Afterwards we'll take over football clubs by sending lot's of players to them (Tottenham, Man City ...) . One day you'll even have Belgian chocolates being sold in Harrods ! You're doomed !
Hey guys cut people some slack here, no point in turning on our own....its an article in a local paper. Olly says its not from the club, SLP says its from Dorset, whether it is made up or not, I guess we'll find out in due course, a bit like the story about KF that i copied a link from the Daily Mail. Lets stick together please and work alongside each other to change this rotten regime.

If this is how Belgians run football clubs I don't think we have too much to worry about !
Really surprised if Bournemouth would even allow him to come. He is on the bench now so obviously needed.... I think its a load of old tosh personally.
Even if it were plausible, I don't much like the idea. With our vapid midfield and inability to get the ball forward, any striker would have difficulty finding the net. We should address this basic failing first. Anyway, surely an honourable man and skilful player wouldn't consider joining this shambles of a club in total meltdown.
Club has got themselves in a position of being damned if they do, damned if they don't, and it is 100% their fault. No doubt.
That being said, if the two current rumours are true (yann and a championship experienced manager - never understood why he necessarily has to be British) then they are surely showing they have listened and are taking steps to improve things.
Are people saying that it now has to be sack the board and nothing else? Or are they going to be given the opportunity to make changes and admit fault (even tacitly).
If the rumours end up true, it's a big step as I bet neither will come cheap. The underlying tone recently however seems many would even take a change in policy as yet another reason to get them out.
Either way I would like to say fair play to all those protesting and flyering today, horrible day for it and you have my utmost respect. You're definitely better supporters than me!
The story about Yann may not have come from inside club but that doesn't mean that a bid wasn't tactically placed in last couple of days knowing that the story would leak from Dorset. A very calculated move from KM imo.

3-4 weeks ago was when I was told hence its definitely not a pr stunt.
It's spin - pure and simple. I don't blame Ollie because he's obviously been told about an approach but was that approach made with any real intention or just for show? I personally think that latter.

If this was being discussed 3-4 weeks ago why is it only coming to light now?
I was distraught when we sold him. But Karel said it was okay because he'd scouted this kid called Piotr playing in the Dutch second division who was a better natural goal scorer...
Not even tacitly then? To expect a business owner to openly apologise for mistakes in the past is niaive at best. Actions often speak louder than words.
Are you saying that's it then, there's no way back from this position?
Yann on the bench for Bournemouth today. Still looking overweight. I would love to have him back but really needs to get his fitness in order quickly.
Well he was probably one of our best 3 players when overweight before. Don't think at his age he'd ever be someone who plays week after week for 90 minutes anyway.
Can they bring back A.C as well. Yann's comments are worrying regarding selling young players. Don't want Lookman going for £2 million in a year's time thanks.

Karel: 'Look me in the eye, are you saying you're good enough?'
Player: 'Yes.'
Karel: 'Katrien, KATRIEN!? Sign him'.
Saying we're interested is one thing, actually securing him is another. Doubt he'd even want to come back.
