League Two - Bournemouth owners target Championship
Eurosport - Fri, 18 Jul 14:42:00 2008
New chief executive Alastair Saverimutto has warned Bournemouth fans that it will take time to stabilise the club on and off the pitch.
Saverimutto and Paul Baker of Sport-6 have invested a seven-figure sum, which they hope will help the club exit administration and be given their Football League share ahead of the new season.
Despite the club's relegation to League Two, Saverimutto wants higher attendances, greater season ticket sales and more lucrative commercial contracts with an announcement about a new shirt sponsor due next week.
And he believes an immediate return to League One is unrealistic but is targeting two promotions and a place in the Championship in the next five years.
Saverimutto told the club's official website: "It would be great for me to say we can get back up to League One next year, but reality tells me we have a business to stabilise and financial longevity to put in place and we'll be putting a team together to meet those objectives.
"The plan is an embryonic from where we are now and we're aiming to reach Championship level in five years."

hey cheers dude (garrywj). krasner is a bit shifty i have to admit . i guess the only people who have afcb at heart are us paying fans . seems all the so called saviours who have been courted by the club have some sort of alteria motive . have to take my hat of to bondy and the players , must be a nightmare preparing for the new season with all the backroom stuff going on . bmth till i die .
I feel very sorry for the Cherries and fans, Why cant somebody sort this whole fiasco out.I am a Leeds Utd supporter and we had the same JOKER trying to sort out our finances. I do hope you DO NOT get a further points deduction like we did through so called cherries fans saying they have got the money to buy the club when they clearly have not. Teams should have helped Leeds out to stop this stuppid further points deduction . The FA should help teams out not kick them in the @#$% when there down . GOOD LUCK CHERRIES
