Jeff Mostyn says Bournemouth have completed mission impossible after reaching the Premier League.
A 3-0 victory over Bolton confirmed that Bournemouth will be playing in the top-flight next season.
Mostyn famously saved the club from liquidation eight years ago when he put £100,000 into the club who were five minutes away from going out of business.
Mostyn said: "We've climbed right through the leagues and into the Premier League. It's just incredible.
"I don't think anybody, not even the craziest optimist, would ever have thought this was possible.
"The reality is we are going to be rubbing shoulders with football's glitterati next season and we'll do ourselves proud."
