Sir Les Knocks Back Offer

Ex-Newcastle striker Les Ferdinand has declined the offer to take over the reigns at Bournemouth.

Darlington boss David Hodgeson has been sacked this week for applying for the position, but Sir Les doesn’t fancy it.

Bournemouth chairman Abdul Jaffer: ‘The club and Les have had informal discussions and Les has decided at this time he does not wish to take this any further.’
