Cherries: Youth coach Embleton leaves Dean Court

CHERRIES youth team coach Ross Embleton has become the latest victim of the Dean Court job cuts.

Embleton, who was taken on when Paul Groves and Shaun Brooks were appointed permanently as Cherries’ first-team management duo in the summer, was relieved of his post yesterday.

He is understood to have been made redundant by the club with another youth coach, whose identity is known by the Daily Echo but not confirmed, believed to have suffered a similar fate.

The Echo was last night unable to contact Cherries chairman Eddie Mitchell, while Embleton took to social network site Twitter to announce his exit.

He wrote: "Many thanks to the people that sent me messages. The rumours are true but, as I’m sure you realise, I wouldn’t make any comments on what has happened.

"I would like to thank the boys who I have coached and also certain staff at AFCB for helping me during my short period at the club.

"I hope for them (you’ll know who you are) that promotion comes at the end of the season. Brilliant card by the way!

"Not forgetting to acknowledge the support and comments of those players that I spoke to yesterday. All the best!"

Londoner Embleton uprooted his young family and moved to Bournemouth after apparently being head-hunted by Brooks having worked previously on the academy at Premier League Tottenham.

The 31-year-old, who also had a spell at Leyton Orient, initially worked alongside head of youth John Donoghue at Dean Court, the pair filling the posts vacated after Groves and Brooks had stepped up to the first team.

However, following their disastrous 12-game tenure at the helm, Groves and Brooks were removed from their respective jobs in October – and subsequently offered roles back in the youth set up.

Speaking to the Daily Echo at the time, Mitchell said the club had “no intention to relieve anybody in the youth department of their position”.

Groves and Brooks joined Donoghue and Embleton in the youth ranks just days before Eddie Howe had been re-appointed as manager with an apparent reshuffle taking place in January.

News of the changes were published in the directory section of the matchday programme with Donoghue no longer listed as head of youth and understood to have parted company with the club. His title was taken by Brooks while Groves became youth team manager and head of coaching and Embleton lead youth team coach and professional development coach.

Earlier this week, chairman Mitchell described as “restructuring” the club’s decision to shed a number of positions, with seven employees understood to have been made redundant on Monday.

Although Mitchell declined to reveal the number of job losses, long-serving club photographer and programme editor Mick Cunningham and commercial executive Tom Jeffes were among them.

It is understood further cuts were made in commercial, accounts, ground staff, Black Label Events and Hot Radio. And unsubstantiated reports suggest at least one other club employee may have been made redundant yesterday.

Clearly all these sackings are caused by SHEER panic with realisation that AFCB are not going up !! The Club is in BIG trouble whatever the brainwashed say

At least with Mitchell you see what you get !! A not very nice man ! But all the fake tears over Joe roach in 2011 and cunningham now is one for Vomiting as most of the "fans" these days care only about themselves and 3 points for the team

This smacks of self preservation for Dumb & Dumber. How on earth those 2 are still on the payrole is mystifying, Mitchell hang your head in shame, if you are intent on restructuring at least have the decency to get rid of the under achievers first including your boy, little Tomthumb along with Dumb & Dumber has cost this club a small fortune with their misguided player purchases and still you dont hold them to account. Do your job Mitchell, you say you are not afraid to make difficult decisions, how about making some easy decisions for a change. I have cut Mitchell plenty of slack since October, but it is game back on for me.!!!!!!!"

I hope all these people that have been made redundsnt soon get themselves sorted in other jobs.Redundancy is now a sad fact of life and it sucks big time.Life has to go on though and what we feel about who should of gone and who should of stayed is now not important.Big game this Saturday and im looking forward to it.Afcb seem to be getting back to where we were when groves was in charge according to some of the posts on here recently.What a load of tosh.We went on a great run and still within site of the playoffs and who knows,automatic promotion.I am just chuffed that we have eh and jt on board, a potential great side in the making and we are at the right end of the table.I for one will carry on supporting our club win,lose or draw and on saturday ill be cheering on the TEAM...C'mon boscombe!!!

I have to say that maybe the youth coach set up had become overstocked with coaches and something had to give.
.
I do not like to see peolple losing their jobs, but like all businesses this sort of thing happens and AFCB are no different. Although I was surprised my Mick Cunninghams departure, a nice fellow that I have spoken to on numerous occasions during his NOT 8502 tenure.
.
Maybe there is nothing sinsister here. It may be just a case of off loading staff that are no longer required. It happens at all clubs.
.
No doubt these redundancies came about in order to reinstate Groves and Brooks back into their original roles. I dare say they make better coaches than they do managers. Kevin Bond is the same.
.
As I said yesterday, I wonder if this has all come about to pay for Bradburys High Court claim of 375K.
.
Just a thought.

I've always wandered how the club survives.
They have a massive player wage bill, massive ground rent, Mitchell's dodgey pocket.
The ticket sales cannot cover all of this.

If the rumours are correct that Denim is walking. I see big trouble ahead.

You have to ask yourself a question, would you invest in Bournemouth knowing the Mitchells family are heavily involved? I for one would not go anywhere near them.

Ross Embleton was brought in to do a job which as far as we know he was doing well, but it was obvious that by our chairmans stupidity in retaing the services of Messrs Groves and Brookes that the youth coaching team was heavily overstaffed, it is all very well Mr Mitchell stating these redundancies are all part of restructuring of staff, but just for once Mr Mitchell give us some facts and figures to justify what you say, for too long AFCB fans have had to accept what is told them and so many times in the past has it turned out to be all lies, we are due the truth because if it proved we have been lied to again then I for one would like to see the Mitchell family run out of Bournemouth on a handcart

I can't understand that whilst we were on the rollercoaster of success almost all comments were euphoric and praiseworthy. Now, the latest four results and links to redundancies have turned comments to snarling and vitriol. I'm as disappointed and upset with the dip in form as anyone else, but unless there is clear evidence of maladminstration and suggestions of fraud, I'll keep an open mind, not go for character assassination...

The missus told me at the weekend that the `highly reliable source` that is facetubethingy reported that MD and EH had a bit of a difference of views,and Max was ready to walk.Seems strange to me seeing that back in October it looked as if Max was pulling the strings and has been since.
Back to the article, it seems as if rumours suggesting that many more people than seven have been made redundant(one stated as any as 23)may be true and indeed more than seven people have been made redundant,and in the above article,a total of nine people(one unconfirmed) have lost their jobs.

It was fuelled by a few under-informed but over-excited Swindon supporters clutching at straws, given that they are STILL in an embargo despite the takeover you would have thought that they had more to worry about. A couple of Stains got in on the act as well. What a fickle bunch.!!!!!

Pete we could save the club circa 500k p.a just by getting rid of 5 high earners that contribute very little and certainly would not be missed.

It is not a case of being negative, it is a case of saying, look we have two key defenders out, we also have no target man up front to change the style and shape and subsequently give to oppostion something else to think about.
.
Plus the fact that Donaster will be hopping mad after their defeat in mid-week. The worse thing that we can do is let them take the lead, if they do they will just sit back and put us in their back pockets and see the game out. WE MUST TAKE THE LEAD, in order to open then out.

I suppose another way of putting it is that if we had not had the injuries we now have we probably would not be sitting on the back of four straight defeats.
.
Unfortunately, by the time Elphick and Daniels get back to match fitness we would have run out of games to catch up.
.
Unfortunately, this the reality of the situation and not negativity. I would like you to see this in that vain of thought.

Gloom ? - think you lot are suffering too - or just sticking your head in the sand eh !

No smoke without fire as they say.
Something really doesn't add up here, you have this Russian guy prepared to bankroll the club - then this lot happens, like with us we didn't, or will hear what goes behind closed doors.

Who ever invests in a club rarely makes any dosh on it - unless usually there is some deal with land etc..

I'm often puzzled with these foreign investers who have probably never heard of Bournemouth or the likes of before, why they want to stand a good chance of losing millions on it.
More money than sense springs to mind.
Trouble as quick as they came bearing gifts - they can go even quicker - kerplunk !!

I think fingers crossed we are just coming out of the tunnel - embargo to sort - but to be honest I think the players we have are up to scratch - it's just if we get any more injuries.

The Adver site is very good but can take ages to catch up as there are so many posters on there - including your good self I might add - also that pillock abf4life idiot, be glad when he takes the hint.

what rumours Denim is walking? That is a load of old rollocks!! it's more likely he and his fellow Russians are setting things up to move Mitchell out, he's not going to walk a matter of months after both bringing back Howe and also investing in Matt Ritchie, add to that we are still only a short time moving forward since the £6 million loan!! really does amaze me how these things start and what utter rubbish they are. There were rumours that he was ready to walk out when Groves was the manager but we were all ready to walk back then!

A few sensible posters on here for a change and positivity from smhinto, top stuff. Four defeats and some off the pitch issues have certainly stoked up the bandwagon with the Echo at the helm. While the redundancies are a sad reflection of modern times, we cannot really know what is going on behind the scenes, so i for cannot comment. I hope the rumours about Mr Demin are unfounded and just put out by a few WUM's. All we can do is continue to support the team who are still on the brink of the playoffs with 10 games to go and everything to play for.

Once again unfounded rumor mongers being negative, if push came to shove Denim would make mince meat of Mr Mitchell.
Where in the name of Jobe do these idiotic rumors start, Denim is going nowhere and unfortunately we will have to run with Mr Mitchell as he has the shares !
But remember money talks and bul****t walks and Denim has got more money than anyone so think on people we are on an upward spiral and in all fairness we know nothing of the future.
We are still running for promotion and for whatever the reason for the clear out let's judge that part of it when the dust settles.

There is a game to win Saturday let's not forget that!! Donnie are there for the taking, we can win this one, get at them early on and we can take the points!! I feel this is possible seeing as they were beaten soundly in midweek and have played an extra game more than us, we have had all week to prepare, they have had hours at best. We can get behind the team from the kick off and can get an early goal, do that and a win is on the cards!! I fully expect EH to tinker with the starting line up and will send out a positive attacking formation for the game, yes we have injuries but we also have talent, it's our turn to pull off the surprise win, although it's only a surprise given our recent games, we can do the double over them if we all give 100%!!

I certainly hope so,
.
But looking at the League table on teletext last night I believe they have now played the same number of games as us.
.
This a potental six-pointer as a loss on Saturday and a win for Sheff Utd will end any lingering hope of automatic promotion. I note we are also wuthout Arter of which compounds things further,

Better pay your own electric bill if you want to get out of that embargo. Ching Ching, Can you spare any loose change please sir.!!!!!. Good to see you made it back home to this site C &F, beats all the gloom on adver site doesn't.
Gloom ? - think you lot are suffering too - or just sticking your head in the sand eh !

No smoke without fire as they say.
Something really doesn't add up here, you have this Russian guy prepared to bankroll the club - then this lot happens, like with us we didn't, or will hear what goes behind closed doors.

Who ever invests in a club rarely makes any dosh on it - unless usually there is some deal with land etc..

I'm often puzzled with these foreign investers who have probably never heard of Bournemouth or the likes of before, why they want to stand a good chance of losing millions on it.
More money than sense springs to mind.
Trouble as quick as they came bearing gifts - they can go even quicker - kerplunk !!

I think fingers crossed we are just coming out of the tunnel - embargo to sort - but to be honest I think the players we have are up to scratch - it's just if we get any more injuries.

The Adver site is very good but can take ages to catch up as there are so many posters on there - including your good self I might add - also that pillock abf4life idiot, be glad when he takes the hint.
Afternoon gents,

Have to agree Chish - I think there is a bit of head burying going on - hope Im wrong though.....

Out of interest - what is the situation with AFCB/Mitchell/Demin with regards to the ownership of Dean Court and the surrounding Kings Park area?
I know we have had plenty of folk sniffing around STFC until they found they could not redevelop the ground into a housing estate due to a land covenant. Possibly if the club/owners etc do have rights to the land maybe there is something behind all this??

Why bother coming on here to tell us, just sort him out on your own site, us actual fans couldn't care less what Swindle or Skates or anyone else thinks, much the same as we don't bother with your site, I have never posted on there, even though you keep coming on here looking to stir !!

There is something going on in the background with Mitchell and the Russian i wouldnt be surprised if in the next few weeks there is a massive fall out which i predicted along time ago on here as lets face it who trust Mitchell you make sure if you shake his hand all your fingers are still there.
No club makes the redundancies that the cherries have made without some very good reason apart from the iffy reason Mitchell has given which is total bluff.
Be prepared for a big fall out and either the russian wanting full control or Mitchell and him going seperate ways and the russians pulling out.

I smell an air of despondency setting in at the club which will have an impact on the pitch as well and all the money spent on players some of who will be sold in the summer.
Tubbs 800K is an absolute joke for a player who will never make the grade in L1.

Indeed he could, however there are generally ways you can tell from someone's posts - besides if he was a random then why chose AFCB? Why not Poxford or Gills to wind us up?

Not sure how my above post was stirring - was raising a relevant question and from some of the above posts (and some mates I've spoken to) clearly many AFCB fans do believe there could be a hidden problem with the club.

On a personal level I live 20 mins walk from Dean Court so would genuinly like to know if part of my local park could be turned into a Mitchell tower block???

You may not be interested in talking to fans of other clubs but it appears there are plenty from AFCB who disagree with you. "We don't bother with your site" would be slightly inaccurate - I had an enjoyable convsersation with Steady Eddie on our site only yesterday!!

How are you Steady - good day I hope?

And what the hell's it got to do with you? Your a Swindon fan aren't you? Why,in Gods name are you even interested in Mitchell,Denim or anything else connected with little old Bournemouth? Just cos one rogue poster goes on your site and winds your lot up,you fall for it and then come out with your endless "advice"!,"opinion" and inane drivel on all things AFC Bournemouth. For the record the Russians are staying,they are here for the long term, sorry to p*ss on your fireworks but it's true. Here's what happens on this site, a lot of people don't like Eddie Mitchell very much,most due to buisness dealings and some, and i include myself in this, for the way he embaresess us from time to time when he comes out with his "emotional" rants either at the clubs support or to the media. When he keeps quiet and the teams winning there's ususally about 20 something posts on here saying how brilliant we are, how maybe we could get promoted,etc,etc. When he's in the paper upsetting people or coming out with ridiculous statements and we're losing then there's usually a hundred plus posts with an even spread between slagging him off, the club imenently folding,the Russians are walking,it was Mitchell who assasinated JFK and so on and so forth.Most posts regarding the clubs financial position are unfounded and mere speculation so,Swindon fans,i wouldn't get too over excited and best to get your own house in order before worrying what's going on in ours.

Personally I'm not over excited, or even remotely excited, by the possibility of another club struggling (even the Pox to a degree). I thought my question about possible land ownership etc was a reasoned query???
With regards to your Russians staying - I hope you are correct but suspect you are saying they are staying out of loyalty to your club (to be expected) rather than cause you can say for certain with any degree of knowledge. Very rarely is there smoke without fire.
You may be suprised to know that genuine football fans do actually take an interest in one anothers clubs and like to banter about them - myself, well I think its pretty reasonable that I will have a passing interest in your club as I do live here.

Judging by whats been on the BBC recently with all their twisting of stories and news - I wouldn't pay too much attention to them.....However the Swindon advertiser does also cover this story. They have had a moan about not being paid after walking out - Im not an employment law expert so cannot really say if they have a valid case. If they do they should be paid, if not then thats tough on them throwing the toys and walking out.....

Fair played to you Courtside, i respect that.
We have had a bit of grief from some claiming to be AFCB fans over the last couple of months, generally I just find them a cross between amusing and an embarressment to the folk of Bournemouth although some do over step the mark with profanities and some pretty sick comments at times - I can't really comment on Legod as I haven't seen all his posts. However I do know that Wiltshire has many villages and some have a resident missing who seem to turn up on your site every now and then.
Runners up behind AFCB - at the mo I'd happily take that (although obviously would prefer us as Champs) with Yeovil winning play offs. Its so close at the mo we could all finish anywhere between 1st and 9th, not sure how either of us may fare in the CCC though... Good luck Saturday - would be good for us both if you can give Donny a good spanking

sea poole-You obviously don't know Mick Cunningham for starters.

When an AFCB stalwart and legend behind the scenes is air brushed out, without so much as a thank you and a load of tosh comes from Edmund by way of explanation our chairman deserves all the vitriol and more from the fans.

What's more we still have a failed management pairing now in charge of our youth set up and young Tom still on the payroll.

As I have said many times before I just hope that our Russian friends and here long term and make the Mitchell family the next group to be jettisoned and air brushed out of our history just like Dorchester Town FC succeeded in doing not so long ago.

Be happy to give anyone a spanking at the moment! Quite amazed by what Yeovil are doing, when we played them at their place we beat them a comfortable 1-0,the only decent showing under Groves' stewardship and battered them 3-0 at our place so thought they were heading for mid table mediocrity at best. Still up in the air for a lot of us at the mo, that was a cracking result you pulled off at Cov last week,(i was gutted ofcourse but then when we were winning all the top sides were dropping points, now we've started losing they're all winning!) Good luck to you Saturday,(sort of), although won't be easy, i'd put Walsall in that Yeovil bracket, they're going along quite nicely. As Eddie Howe said the pressure games start now!

We have had a bit of grief from some claiming to be AFCB fans over the last couple of months, generally I just find them a cross between amusing and an embarressment to the folk of Bournemouth although some do over step the mark with profanities and some pretty sick comments at times - I can't really comment on Legod as I haven't seen all his posts. However I do know that Wiltshire has many villages and some have a resident missing who seem to turn up on your site every now and then.
Runners up behind AFCB - at the mo I'd happily take that (although obviously would prefer us as Champs) with Yeovil winning play offs. Its so close at the mo we could all finish anywhere between 1st and 9th, not sure how either of us may fare in the CCC though... Good luck Saturday - would be good for us both if you can give Donny a good spanking
Be happy to give anyone a spanking at the moment! Quite amazed by what Yeovil are doing, when we played them at their place we beat them a comfortable 1-0,the only decent showing under Groves' stewardship and battered them 3-0 at our place so thought they were heading for mid table mediocrity at best. Still up in the air for a lot of us at the mo, that was a cracking result you pulled off at Cov last week,(i was gutted ofcourse but then when we were winning all the top sides were dropping points, now we've started losing they're all winning!) Good luck to you Saturday,(sort of), although won't be easy, i'd put Walsall in that Yeovil bracket, they're going along quite nicely. As Eddie Howe said the pressure games start now!
It does seem to have gone a bit pear shaped for AFCB recently, although I think all the top teams could have a wobble looking at the fixtures coming up - maybe good to get your wobbles out the way now? Yeovil and Walsall are doing incredibly well, Yeovils recent form is superb and we've still to go there! We've been doing great away recently but home form has been poor, still K McDonalds first home game so hopefully something will change but gonna be tough - gutted that I can't go this week too. I think you may do well against Donny, I don't know how they are still top as they've only won 1 in last 6. Hoping you beat them and we win as could go top again....my bum is starting to squeek looking at the table

BournemouthRobin, do you have to keep quoting & requoting., it's taking me ages to read through it all. Cant you just quote the users name.

Just joshing with you fella, dont worry we aren't so bothered by an extra couple of seconds on here but some people seem to get uptight by the slightest things dont they. I wont be able to keep you entertained tonight, as sadly i work overnight but im sure Courtside will be a very able deputy.

For you Bournemouth fans a bit of knowledge for you i am a Swindon season ticket holder but live between Southampton and Bournemouth and i know alot of Saints and Cherry fans and there is always banter between us so i know alot about your club and Saints as i know people who work at both of them.
i also know have a very good friend who is a friend of one of the bournemouth players so i get to hear a few things.
So believe what you want as i 've said before as much as all the bournemouth fans that came on our site and enjoyed the fact that our change of ownership and threat of administration if we didnt get new owner in alot of you seemed to be delighted about but i dont wish that on any club apart from one which would be Oxford united who i hate with a vengenance.
All i was doing was commenting on my thoughts i would i think would happen at your club which i still believe will.
There is alot of bad feeling behind the scenes currently and dont think redundancies have finished. Take what i say with a pinch of salt if you wish but i know more than you think about your club.

Good grief, you sound just like my best mate "GUV".
Still banging on about Ritchie being unhappy then. Told you the other day, let go, he wont be coming back to you " his chapter at Swindon is over" now where have i heard that recently.????.

Some Bournemouth were interested in the Swindon situation because of all the abuse we got from Swindon fans when we previously tried to sign Richie. All the patronising 'little club you have no chance of getting him' type stuff from Swindon fans - it was bound to back fire on you when all that brown stuff hit the fan, Paolo left etc.

He's another reason Swindon's situation attracts attention of course, you can’t revel in the attention when he was there and then grumble at the attention when he leaves, it works both ways.

As for Demin and Mitchell, there has been discussion there for a while so we hear, but not about Demin leaving, but about Demin gaining MORE control of the club from Mitchell. But we know Mitchell won’t pipe down quietly, getting others out the way to make his staff more prominent and difficult to push out seems logical to him.

SteadyEddie1 - im not worried about Ritchie coming back the club is bigger than any one player and we move on but you have to see the best of him yet and what i hear he is not a happy bunny playing at full back which i know is temporary but even so if it carries on it could effect him.
Yes we were upset when he left but its done. As for the brown stuff there wasnt any all it was a previous owner wanting to sell and not prepared to put any more money in the club if he hadnt had made that decision we could have carried on. As i have said before to you guys if your russian does the same thing to your club the same will happen you will need to look for a new owner.

Emailing every club touting your squad around because you needed cash to bridge the gap between owners, the manager and coaching staff all leaving, a transfer embargo being applied and several signings being refused - that classes as brown stuff to me!
