Bournemouth manager Kevin Bond has welcomed Jeff Mostyn's timely cash injection and insists he has the club's "best interests at heart".Mostyn has re-emerged as the preferred bidder for the club in the latest twist to the Cherries' drawn-out sale after handing over £80,000 to keep them afloat.

His consortium now have an agreed time period to seal the purchase and Bond believes it will be "fantastic news" for the south-coast club if the deal is completed.

Bond told the Daily Echo: "It's fantastic news for the football club. I don't think enough people have really grasped it because they seem to think that there is an ulterior motive and always like to question this and that.

"I know Jeff has got AFC Bournemouth's best interests at heart and that is his first and foremost concern. He is not looking to come out of this with any great profit or trying to do land deals.

"The scenario would probably be quite the opposite whereby it will cost him more money. He's got the best intentions of AFC Bournemouth at heart and deserves a lot of credit for taking it on board."
