NOTICE is hereby given that it is 10 days until creditors meet to vote on significant proposals for the future of AFC Bournemouth.

Those creditors, together with the club's shareholders, have already seen detailed documentation outlining plans to take Cherries out of administration.

To the untrained eye and for those without a degree in law, some of the information could be described as complex.

In a nutshell, current chairman Jeff Mostyn wants to buy the club for £1m and give the creditors just over 10 per cent of what they are owed.

If they vote against, Mostyn's offer could go as low as £475,000 with the creditors receiving as little as half-a-pence in the pound of their respective debt.

It has been 15 long days since administrator Gerald Krasner revealed he had accepted - in principle - an offer to buy the club.

And it has been over a week since Mostyn, the successful bidder, said he wanted to start talking to the club's supporters again.

Fortunately, that long-overdue dialogue will start today when Mostyn is due to meet officials of the AFC Bournemouth supporters' trust.

An influential Cherries fans' group, the trust owns a significant shareholding in the club and has an audience of around 2,000.

It also has the means to spread the word by utilising its own website, through press releases and on messageboard forums.

How Mostyn intends to communicate with other Cherries supporters, especially those who find modern technology challenging, remains to be seen.

Since having his bid accepted and for someone who is on the verge of buying a football club, Mostyn has kept surprisingly low key.

There has been next to nothing on the club's own website, while From The Boardroom columns in the past two matchday programmes have only touched on the issue.

In his sidekick and fellow consortium member Steve Sly, Mostyn has the ideal man to market his wares. A lifelong Cherries supporter, Sly is also a salesman by trade.

He penned the notes for the Easter Monday clash against Tranmere when he moved to reassure fans that the potential new owners would "do everything in our power to secure some long-term stability for the football club".

Sly also said he believed that the consortium had "the right partners in place to secure longevity and ultimately success for the Cherries".

The article included two short paragraphs on the proposed takeover - one for each week since the bid was accepted.

An intended press conference was expected to outline details of how the consortium intended to take the club forward together with the possible identity of the "right partners".

To date, this briefing has not taken place while there would seem to be no immediate plans to hold it ahead of the creditors' meeting.

If ever there were a time to communicate with the fans then that time is now. Closing the sale successfully should be of paramount importance and what better way than to shout your pitch from the rooftops.
