The administrators have presumably a) found out what the real debt level is b) told the creditors that they aren't going to get all their money back especially if the club goes tits up and c) advised them what they can reasonably expect if they can agree a percentage that wouldn't preclude a sale. Sounds like they've worked quickly to arrive at a compromise position that has been accepted by the creditors which is good news. Doesn't in any way guarantee a sale but the position i.e. cost is the best they have been able to come up with. Sluffy - you know I've been telling you it would come to this for the best part of two years, but I'm past caring now, however to intimate that the figure is what Anderson came up with in his valuation and by implication that somehow he was right all along is low even for you. Please stop reaching for justifications for what has been - as I've suspected and suggested all along - a period of gross mismanagement. And stop quoting me on "the truth will come out eventually" which I was forced to use every time you were lecturing me on what an outstanding job Anderson was doing especially as even now it's clear to everyone he's lost money hand over fist and possibly done much worse. Surely now you agree with my original hypotheses at least to some extent? Or are you still saying (quote) "Mr Anderson hasn't let us down yet" and the classic: "Beaten Holdsworth - check Beaten HMRC - check Beaten ST - check What else is there for him to take on?" No doubt if the Chinese buy us out of admin you'll still be saying he's done a great job despite us being relegated with a yet to be determined points deduction, the staff not getting paid and the club's assets having been decimated during his tenure. Jaysus.

Call me a hard faced bastard but there’s certainly a hint of attention seeking, grief junkie hysteria bollocks taking place with all this.

On a positive note I was over that way today and popped into club shop to get some stuff for Yoof. There was virtually no stock or people about but the lads were there were excellent. Just saying how they hope all gets sorted as ‘we were fans before we worked here.’ I hope the new owners realise how much some of the lower paid staff have put in over recent weeks/months.

From that thread about the old fella.

One route I would be expecting the administrator to go down is with respect to the Brownfield site that the club owns at British Aerospace that adjoins the academy, its a plot of 4 or 5 acres. Housebuilders will be forming a queue to buy it and its worth up to £5 million By selling it separately - and realising £5 million he can pay Brett Warburton off , who has the charge on the land ( £2 million ) and leave substantial monies to cover his fees and put cash into the kitty towards paying off the creditors. It serves no purpose for the club going forward, its not used , and the club will not be impacted by its sale . In fact were it to be included as an asset within the sale of the football club I would expect any purchaser to do this , so it will most likely be sold separately and excluded from the assets of the football club I might be wrong - but it seems the obvious thing to do , and remember his job ( as administrator ) is to realise the best value for creditors .and this is an easy win situation for him and helps in a small way to get the sums to add up

A few spelling mistakes in it! All very familiar; let's see if he's true to his word and does take legal action. Presumably his illnesses are real, and if so, then sympathies to him.

No worries. People often take what I say over text the wrong way. I'm a nice lad honestly! Must just type like a cunt.

Either way that's a horrible way to treat an owd fella. If some knobbers have thought it a good idea to chuck a shake on them then they are cunts and want finding and prosecuting. If he has been used as a stooge then that's the actions of a twat.

Should be yellow surely?

Just blatantly inaccurate

After previously saying Bahrainians were taking over, then Bassini, I don't think we need to worry about this. Hopefully!

Waving my blue passport of course.😂

The relegation season to Div 4 - 1986/7 - was pretty grim throughout, with the exception of a short run of results in late November/early December. During that run we beat York 3-1 at home thanks to a good goal by Asa Hartford and two poacher's goals by Tony Caldwell. Marco Gabbiadini - later to become infamous among Bolton fans for his crude challenge as a Derby player on Simon Coleman - wins and converts the York penalty.

No. The market, Because of China, is up the swanney. HTH.

Aye, there could be three teams on -12 next year. Us, Blackpool & Bury. Only need one more & we've a good chance of staying up 😀

The EU is not interested in reform. We are told time and again that reform from within is an option. It has been proven many times over the last 20 years that it is not. Didactic, hidebound single route to federalism. Or to put it another way - banging your head against a brick wall. Everything must bend to "the project". We need to get out. Other European countries need to get out. Any organisation that is so impervious to the external environment is doomed to fail

Nice one Forest!

We have no evidence about the future So might could etc It seems as though this “cult”, of perhaps 40% of voters (surely therefore not a cult?) are willing to take the risk. In addition, they are also not ignoring the obvious, known, flaws of the EU.

That wouldn't mean much.

Let's hope it's Bassini

Rousing words from PH there They still don’t get it, after today’s vote Cable will think hes back in business, but Remainers have nowhere to put their vote, can’t vote Labour can’t vote Conservative, Vince says he’ll revoke A50 so Remainers will vote for that, the day of reckoning is closer

My Lib Dem vote went in last week because I am a lazy shite and use postal. I hope they start to gain ground again as they were unfairly treated for going into coalition with the Tories IMO. They did so in the national interest at a time of serious economic hardship. Something the other two parties seem incapable of doing, always their party interests first.

Wrong again. Many are eligible, particularly if one works part-time, but most of them don't bother.

Who cares? Inboxing decent folk accusing that they are 'wife beaters' as well as other wild wide of the mark guesses makes his/her messages null and void in my eyes, theres banter and theres over stepping the line. The facts are here now, 30 interested parties makes me feel a warm smug glow inside, bollocks to him/her.

Just a massive bullshitting dinosaur fanny.

It's a hard one as British Steel is iconic as a company and a term. Throwing money at a lame duck which is incapable of recovery however is not sustainable. Chinese production is flooding the world market with cheap steel and there isn't really a way to combat that. Not sure if a leaner organisation operating in a special alloy arena might be a small part of the solution but we are never going to be able to slug it out in the general use steel field with countries like China. Nearly forgot. Vote Brexit Party.
