Bond's vote of confidence
26 Oct 2007 - 11:34:35
Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn has given his full backing to under-fire manager Kevin Bond.
After only two wins in 12 including an extremely poor home record, the Cherries faithful voiced their disapproval, calling for the manager's head during last Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Millwall.
Mostyn, who became chairman in March, has released a statement on the club's website pledging his support for Bond.
The Cherries chairman blamed their current form on an injury crisis and asked the fans to get behind the team.
He added: "This is the time for everyone associated with AFC Bournemouth to galvanise together and give their full support to me personally, the board, the manager, the players and staff.
"This is your football club. We need you to support its survival."
Bournemouth currently sit bottom of League One, three points adrift of safety.
