Bournemouth chairman Eddie Mitchell has insisted that the club is not for sale after refusing a third bid from Russian businessmen Vladimir Antonov and Roman Dubov.
The deadline to accept the latest offer, made up of an initial payment of about £1.2m with the promise of further investment which would include buying back Dean Court and the surrounding land, passed last week.
But Mitchell said: "I didn't come into the club to make a quick buck and sell it. I came in to stabilise it and believe we have done that. I don't think it would be right to open dialogue with foreign investors whose intentions, I believe, would be to control the club.
“I don't want to lose control while I'm doing a good job and, if asked, I think most people would say that we are doing a good job.
"I don't think that this club, or any other club, really needs vast investment from people who are treating it as a business, only to then find that, when they are not so enthused, they take away the assets and leave the club back where it started."
