Within one week of the stadium sale going through, Chairman Peter Phillips has now announced that star players Brian Stock and James Hayter are next on the ‘for sale’ list.
Both Stock and Hayter’s contracts run out at the end of the season, putting the Cherries in the exact same situation as they were last season with Garreth O’Connor and Wade Elliott.
Last season the club opted to gamble on winning promotion at the expense of cashing in on player’s on short contracts.
This season with rent to pay it seems that, that is no longer and option and a memo has been circulated around that the club will listen to all offers for the pair.
Speaking to the Daily Echo Peter Phillips said ‘We have to have a look to see if there is any interest in them and at what level.’
He went on to say ‘Up to now, I have had no approaches from anywhere, but, with the transfer window coming, there is always a possibility there will be.’
Rumours are that QPR are interested in James Hayter while Brian Stock has recently gained interest from Harry Redknapp (while at Southampton) and Swansea.
