Bournemouth investigate ‘unauthorised tweet’ sent from club’s official account

AFC Bournemouth claim that they will investigate an ‘unauthorised tweet’ which was sent from club’s official account on Wednesday night.

The Championship outfit are trying to work out how a post was published at 11:49pm on the 28th of July by their official Twitter account which appeared to tease a new signing it was seem.

The Cherries account, which has over 568,000 followers on the social media platform, has now removed the post in question, which featured Alfonso Ribeiro in character as Carlton Banks.

The much loved GIF of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star dancing was included in a tweet which had the caption: “We have news…” Which has now been described as an “unauthorised” offering by the account holders.

There have so far been no further details regarding the upload, and it’s certainly left supporters baffled by the exchange ahead of the new Championship season following their failed playoff campaign last time out.

Bournemouth go into the new campaign feeling optimistic despite their playoff defeat to Brentford a few months ago, with former Fulham boss Scott Parker stepping into the dugout at the Vitality Stadium.

Ahead of their season opener against MK Dons in the Carabao Cup, which is played this upcoming Saturday, Parker has been left feeling positive by the display in their 2-1 friendly defeat to Chelsea.

He said on Tuesday: “Overall, I was really pleased in the sense of how we went about things. High energy, aggressive, front foot team that took it to Chelsea – which was brave of us.

“The team was brave in terms of that. Attacking-wise I thought we caused them some problems at times.”

He added: “We were knocking on the door before the goal. I thought we were right in the ascendancy – the goal came which was good. The two goals (conceded) we are disappointed with.

“They were poor goals on our behalf. There were some really good things and some poor things.

“It’s to be expected at this moment four weeks into pre-season. A group of players that are hearing a different voice, different rules, a different way of wanting to play at times.

“Along that journey, along that way at times there will be a couple of bumps and that was probably seen in the two goals we conceded.”

Thinking about Bournemouth’s now deleted post, it’s go us thinking about when Leeds fooled their fans into thinking they were going to hearing of an incoming signing.

With 10 minutes remaining of the window, Leeds informed their followers: “Don’t to go to bed just yet… there is still work to be done”, naturally building excitement following their dire start to the Championship season.

They may well have been trying to bring someone in, but in the end the only ‘work to be done’ was to sell two promising strikers Matt Smith and Dom Poleon before signing off and leaving fans thinking WTF.

HLTCO on Twitter: "Never forget the time Leeds United told their fans not to go to bed on Deadline Day, only to then announce the departure of two players and no new
