It is being proposed that a motion is passed by Bournemouth Borough Council, backing the Cherries, where the transfer embargo is concerned. A motion is being proposed by a local Bournemouth councillor where by the Borough Council backs AFC Bournemouth where the transfer embargo is concerned. The motion, being put forward by Phil Stanley-Watts (Boscombe West) is quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "I don’t think many local authorities or councils have motions concerning football clubs. Not every football club is closely connected with the community, but AFC Bournemouth has been connected with the community over many different aspects. I think the council needs to give them every support they can to try to force the league to lift this transfer embargo. Every little helps. They have limited resources but have achieved an incredible amount over the past few weeks. There is no finance in the move or anything like that. It is just a simple move to support the club. It is not political or controversial, I just feel the club needs all the help it can get".
