Bournemouth chairman Foley admits ambitions beyond staying up

Bournemouth chairman Bill Foley is committed to having the fans as involved as possible in the club.

The American billionaire purchased the team in December 2022 and has put in funds to improve the squad.

But beyond giving the fans a good team to watch, he wants to ensure other concerns are also addressed.

Foley told Sky Sports: “Now that we've moved up the table a bit, which I was confident we would do this year, I believe we'll start attracting more talent and better talent that will want to stay in Bournemouth.

“They won't want to move on. That's our job. A place like this (training ground), the indoor pitch that we've built is fantastic.

“We want to play in Europe. Do we get to the top four or top five? Complicated, difficult for Bournemouth.

“But with a new stadium and these facilities, we can keep on doing better every year.

“We have a really good team. The team is motivated in becoming a team, as opposed to a group of individuals.

“If we can continue doing that moving forwards, we'll be successful."
