I have lots of contacts at BWFC (Marc Iles has many more) No one knows what’s going on and if they do they aren’t saying anything. I don’t know MI personally so I don’t have a personal interest but the criticism he gets on here from some is over the top in my opinion. If he reports, he gets criticised . If he doesn’t, he gets criticised. If anyone has an issue with him, contact him direct without the anonymity. It’s not difficult.

+1 In the eyes of many, you'd be labeled a racist but as you say, it is nothing to do with race. To me you are a realist. We need to teach everyone in our societies how to respect women, kids, other religions, our way of life etc. Until we, as a nation, wake up and admit what's going on around us, the problem is just going to get a hell of a lot worse.

Perhaps your reading a bit too much into it Hes not passed FPP yet so does he technically own the club? I’m sure once he does / if he does, we will see an interview in the BEN It would mean last week’s statement is a bit previous mind but then again nothing seems to have changed

Isn’t it rather strange how the Muslims always play the race card ? Most of the other religions we have in Britain are very law abiding, happy to integrate with us, and are usually hard working. The Chinese are decent folk, the Hindus, Jewish and Sikhs are sound and many others are too. Do they try to impose their “values” on the host nation ? I don’t see too many attacks by the Chinese,Jewish,Hindu,Sikh communities etc......on the other hand, one religion are more than likely responsible for more crimes in this country than all the other religions I’ve mentioned above. Do the Chinese, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh communities cry out incessantly for war against the West ? I’ve not seen Charlie Chan burning the Union flag for a while here, or wanting death to all infidels as one religion like to call us. And yet, we welcome these parisitical warmongers into our country with arms to literally take the piss.....could someone please tell me the unemployment rate amongst Pakistani Muslims in this country ? This is when employment figures in this country are at an all time high... I’d better check the news for grooming gangs from different religions in Britain, ...just to see if the undisputed world champion has been knocked off the number one spot which it has held for many years. A religion which makes females walk steps away from them, makes females cover up in public, yet those men think it’s ok to fuck children thanks to their brainwashing from a stupid book. Racist ? No...I’m a realist and all of the above are pure proven facts. I will ask any London based poster to join me in London on Sunday 2nd June, to witness the Al Quds Day march when the Palestinians are shouting for “death to Israel”...........imagine the outcry if Tommy Robinson,Donald Trump or Nigel Farage etc were leading a march saying the same.....no doubt the London posters will be conveniently too busy that day to attend, instead of seeing for their very own eyes what a disgusting religion they bizarrely respect and pay for, yes, your hard earned helps to fund those extremist bastards existence here.

Yep. That's him. Had it in him to be a better player and could be classy. Just lacked application. Gave Bolton a season or two of good Div 3 goalscoring all the same

Ugly sister?

Is it a heavy pumper with poor directional control?

Keep them coming my friend! Outstanding

Let’s take the 2 links you have posted, both are from remain newspapers, secondly the comments from the Japanese were designed to put the U.K. parliament under pressure to pass the TM WA through parliament, again Japan have are anti Brexit for there own ends and purposes, yet you take these articles as gospel and without question, in reality the articles were a pressure tactic by the Japanese to attempt manipulate parliament, and try to help TM get her deal through parliament, because that would suit Japan. Now if you had read your own links you’d have seen the paragraph below: Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe is keen to help Mrs May, publicly supporting her exit deal with Brussels, and talking up the potential for Britain to join the TPP. Ultimately, Japan could make a political decision to offer more generous terms. This is the real message I take from the articles and something you have obviously disregarded, you really should look beyond the headlines and learn to interpret the articles correctly, instead of looking for the negative and attempting to make a point that suits your remain agenda, only then will you be as smart as you think you are.

Those who remember the 1980s will recall Bolton had a very young Stuart Ripley on a month's loan from Middlesbrough. Within about 15 seconds of his debut he'd set up a goal for Tony Caldwell - the first in a 4-0 Division 3 win over Newport in February 1986 (1985/6 season). Caldwell scored the second and George Oghani the third - all inside 27 minutes. Then in the second half Ripley himself slammed home a fourth. This is still all in Phil Neal's early days at the club. Nice to see the Manny Road celebrating goals! I have to apologise for the sound quality. There's no commentary on this video and that really makes that sound situation stand out. I'll have to work out if I can cure it somehow.

Sluffy measures his columns in furlongs not inches.

Not that shallow... Unless she buried him standing upright.

Perfect if they sell the dressing room.

Can you just imagine if KA has grown tired of telling people about the tyre kickers - and everyone saying he’s full of shit - and has decided to let one do it very publicly? it won’t help, but it’s all lining up for a column that will knock all his previous ones into a cocked hat. “I fucking TOLD you people were timewasting. TOLD you I did.” Repeat to fade.....

He disappeared off here with No Balls so they could concentrate on their dogging.

I would be happy if something happened and we all knew where we are at, the waiting is fucking purgatory.

Yep. You don't need to look at objective facts. Just pretend they aren't real and that wild predictions for the future that are based on nothing of any substance but merely suit your argument are in fact sound. That is Brexit in a nutshell.

Have a read back to what Howard said about him creaming money off the club via factoring and loans. Leaving the club with the debt. Maybe an ounce of truth.

Not if you've spent the last decade arguing that Muslims have been 'getting away with it' because of an inherent politically correct squeemishness about prosecuting some people from certain ethnic backgrounds for fear of being labelled racist.

Nice of them to name a pub after me.

If you mix up the letters MARC ILES, and add a few more, you get Peter O’Hanra-Hanrahan

Lukaku is exactly Man United standard, he wouldn’t get in the spurs team - Spurs are much better than Man U right now and will be for at least the next couple of seasons

RIP Tony. Another one gone to soon.

I guess you must have missed the forty-eight times I've mention already that I wasn't finding fault with Iles. But don't you think it is strange? I mean do you know of any other reporter at any other team not doing their utmost to get a few words with the new club owner? Would any other reporter wait over a week to do so - whilst a whole shed full of other reporters at Talk Sport, Sky, The Telegraph and even our own Supporters Trust manage to chat with him, seemingly without bother (and in respect of the ST, at Mr Bassini's expressed invite!). I know if I were in Iles shoes I'd be wanting to get a quote from him for the local paper of the team he's just bought - you know like "Howard, I know you're really busy but can you give us a few words for the fans of the club" - and I'd certainly expect my boss to be asking me where my 'copy' on Bassini was, and why is it still outstanding as it is now over a week since the takeover? As I keep saying, it seems very odd to me - almost an unwillingness to even acknowledge a take over has even happened? Is his apparent reluctance to speak indicative of him knowing far more than he's letting on, or a complete indifference to what has supposedly happened? You'd think he be in his element - 'Hated club owner finally gone', 'Is new owner here to redeem himself or will it be more of the same', type thing -rather than him hanging back in the shadows letting the days pass him by. There must be some reason to explain this, surely?

I think he's a lazy journalist.

Nah, I'm not having that. As I've said Talk Sport Radio, Sky, Telegraph and even the ST have all spoke with him - and even after that non of us believe Bassini's got any money himself - the ST even said as much - so why would Iles not have bothered himself to have interviewed him and wrote down what he said about the money - he could do that easily enough without adding any personal views and comments of his own. Why hasn't Radio Manchester/Dearden not interviewed him either? According to Iles and Dearden they've been down on their knees since before Christmas begging Anderson for a comment - any comment - but have not got one, yet Bassini's been giving out quotes here, there and everywhere, even had a jolly trip out with the ST to chat about things but nothing at all from Iles or Dearden? As I say I'm not having a pop, I just can't figure out why they haven't - there must be a reason? If they are being deliberately kept at arm's length by Bassini then why aren't they saying so - Christ they didn't waste any opportunity to tell the world and his dog that that was what Anderson was doing! If not then where is the feature article on our new owner - and if they know it's not Bassini, then where's the 'We Demand Answers' article instead? I don't understand why they are saying virtually nothing, isn't it their jobs to find out and report? Iles hasn't even written and published an article he simply must be itching to write on his view of Anderson and his running of the club - so does he think/know that Anderson still retains control - and the new owner story is bogus? If so why isn't he reporting it? If the take over is genuine then where's the Bassini front page interview? So does Iles/Dearden KNOW what's going on and can't say for some reason, or haven't a clue and haven't the wit to find out what is? Something seems fishy don't you think?

Well Red Nev if utd gave it their all and were as good as they can be then one shot on goal, City didnt break sweat.Light years away from City. Long may it continue

That's a game I can live without seeing again 😊

Can hide behind the players all he wants, Solskjaer but bottom line is the bloke is a bum and they've rushed right into signing him on full time. He's Coyle-esque, thinks invoking some 90s memories and ways of playing is the way to go. He'll be wearing a Ferguson mask next. Nice bloke, daft accent, shit manager. Keep it up.

Has a deal been done though? What does it even mean? To 'own' a limited company you need to have bought/control of, the majority of the shares in it, however Ken's 94.5% share ownership has a charge of £5m against it. Surely no one can 'buy' these shares until that charge has been dealt with. Are we saying/accepting that someone (Anderson/Bassini/Shanina Twain/other?) has paid this debt to 'release' the shares to be sold freely? Seems unlikely that someone would just 'lend' Anderson £5m to do that and tell him, 'just pay me back when you've got it' - are they? So if someone is fronting the money then presumably they want to secure it somehow or other, so the don't lose it? So for a deal to be done I assume someone has given KA £5m to settle the charge on the shares and maybe (I'm just guessing) has come to an agreement that he releases his secured charge on the club assets in return? At least that would allow the shares to then be done and for the new purchaser have £5m less creditors on the books (although obviously he has paid the same amount up front). It could be I guess a deal where the £5m for the share ownership is wiped off - and in return KA's £5m secured charge is turned into equity and written off too - so no money up front was required? Are the enough assets left to even pay him the £5m if the club went into liquidation anyway?). If no one has paid the money to remove the charge on the shares then I don't understand how a deal could be done - you can't sell something you don't fully own - and the shares are in hock for £5m. I'm wondering if there is perhaps some sort of stand-off going on behind the scenes, possibly revolving around who will pay the March wages (and very soon the April ones too). Maybe the potential buyers want Ken to do it and he's calling their bluff banking on them not wanting to take a hit with Administration and 12 points penalty? And once that stand-off is resolved the deal will go through or alternatively the club is put into receivership? I can't believe Bassini is more than a puppet in all of this, someone's behind him pulling the strings but who - is he on Team Anderson buying him some more time and leverage, or is he the frontman for some genuine buyer - maybe one of the so called tyre kickers like Gaspard? I doubt that a deal has been finalised yet no matter what we are being told and I mystified why our esteemed journalist hasn't been tweeting away joyfully listing all the shit that's been hitting the fan as yet another day rolls by. In fact he's been remarkably unbothered since before the first winder court action. Is there only me that thinks that's unusual behaviour by him? Does he know something and keeping it quiet or hasn't a clue and not arsed to find out? Even the ST's been invited for a chat with our new 'owner' yet the local press hasn't even been thrown a bone of being given a few words interview with him (by phone even!) - despite Bassini being at the club and at the last two games - so easily available/contactable if he had wanted to be? I'm not having a pop at Iles, I just find it odd that he's neither active on twitter like he has been all the while Holdsworth/Anderson had been here - and remember he did many one to one interviews with Holdsworth both during and after Dean's takeover - but he's not done anything at all yet with Bassini - even though Sky Sports, Talk Radio, The Telegraph, etc have? I don't get why he hasn't? What is his reason for not doing so - is there one? (Jack Dearden and BBC Radio Manchester haven't interviewed him either? - I wonder why?).

Id say the rise in Islamaphobia came about when they started blowing up concert venues and grooming English white girls. Tarring with brushes and all that. Nobody gives a fuck other races.

Check your boyfriend’s tweets (Obama) in response to the Christchurch attack and the multiple Sri Lankan attacks which killed many more. You may just then glean a tiny inkling re the agenda which others have implied. As you don’t directly answer, I wonder if you care to answer this one in one word ? Who in the modern day commits the most terror attacks, Christians or Muslims ? A one word answer please instead of your usual jejune bravado and endless pompous digression away from the subject.

My mate works for him,i met the guy back in the day - iirc he was no shrinking violet! Rip Tony

Sad news, was always a face back in the day. RIP.

Per Frandsen v Middlesborough May 2003 My favourite has to be Jay Jays v West Ham in the same season. When i look back to what we used to have, it breaks my heart to see what we've become.
