Bournemouth have confirmed Jeff Mostyn as their new chairman and the Cherries supremo has assured manager Kevin Bond that money is available to bolster his squad before Thursday's loan deadline.
Mostyn was confirmed as the club's new chairman at a board meeting on Monday and he will sit down with Bond to discuss new arrivals ahead of the deadline later this week.
"We're going to sit down with Kevin to get his views and also to make him aware of the budget," he told the club's official website.
"What Kevin would want is stability rather than money to spend and then to find out we can't afford to pay the wages of the players he brings in. That would totally destabilise the attitude of players and staff alike.
"The willingness is there to support Kevin subject to who he wants to bring in.
"The heart is in the right place and we want to support the football club.
"If one player would make the difference between us staying up we would look seriously at that investment."
