And he has just helped them earn £100 million.

That's stretching a point, expensive insurance policy more like

Don't think he started a game for them, scored a goal I suppose

The most they have spent on a player is £3million.

Is that all? Same as us then, apart from that would be more than the total sum of all the transfer fees we've paid, ever

But they are /were a Champonship club - let's compare that 3 million to say Derby, Bldes and Wednesday.
Wednesday paid that in '93 for a player
Blades paid £5 million for James Beattie (yes really)! Over 15 years ago
Derby paid more for Earnshaw 10 years ago and are (supposedly) lying Darrent Bent £60k a week.

So don't he so hard on Bournemouth- a Community Club and the first club to be owned by its fans

Community Club - ??????

First club to be owned by its fans - quickly followed by every dubious businessmen in the area and now by a dubious Russian businessmen

It will be interesting to see this years accounts, I think it might make peoples eyes water

Very. We still await the 2014 accounts, which must be posted at Companies House by Thursday. The 2013 accounts showed a wages bill of £12M just to get out of League One.

Very mixed feelings here. I know a few Cherries fans, decent types, and the club seems to be a nice one. Just one of those clubs like us over the years. At the same time, I think I am right in saying that the club has been in admin at least twice, and yet I still feel that they are cavalier in spending. I bracket them with Rotherham in that regard. Even though Bournemouth should now be financially comfortable, it will not surprise me at all if they go norks up again.

I see that a number of poster’s favourite ‘community club’, Bournemouth, have at last posted their July 2014 accounts, their first season in the Championship
Highlights include:
• An underlying loss of £17M before players sales and sell on fees of £6.8M (no doubt mostly the Lallana sell on fee)
• Player registrations (transfer and signing on fees) in the year were £7.1M- on top of a net £4M paid for players already on their books. So the squad cost £11M- so much for the team that ‘didn’t cost a lot’.
• The shareholder has increased the share capital by £7.3M
• Loans increased from £16.6M to £25M.
• Wages were £17.3M (up from £12M)
• They paid £98,000 for tax advisory services to their auditors (?)
Note, I am not taking anything away from the quality of the team, the football they play and their achievements. Just pointing out the cost to the owner.

Sadly also a nightmare waiting to happen when the club's owner decides he's bored and pulls out.

So when you hear the Pompey fans saying that is nice to see their rivals in the premiership, but can't help but think that this one isn't going to have a fairytale ending, then looking at that you'd have to agree with them.

Mind you, I agree with a lot of what they say... Like they don't want Paul Cook as manager!
