  1. Am I the only one thinking my money for the Doncaster game has now evaporated? Is my £32 now on the long list of unsecured creditors, paying for 4.8 minutes of an administrators time?

    Two simple questions,

    Was Appleton's written submission referred to in court - yes or no?

    If it was, was it reported that Appleton had wrote that an adjournment would not impact on a sale - yes or no?

    I'm/we're not bothered what Will Jones thinks or whatever he wants to gossip about - we will stick to the facts thank you.

     

    No and no for the record, but the court hearing was a pantomime. However, he (Appleton) has since said that their work is now done. The fact that it isn't is, one presumes, down to the hotel. I was on a radio phone-in in January and said of the takeover 'I will believe it when I see it'. This remains the case.

    Hi

    The new owners will be announced no later than Tuesday.

    The supporters have been great. The turnout so far has been a great help in getting things resolved.

    As for players, none are expected to sign immediatly. There are other issues to solve first. Technical and practical things. Also possible but not likely that legal situation with certain individual needs to be fully resolved first.

    There have been talks with the EFL about the situation and the possibility for an extended transfer window due to special circumstances. EFL positive. Needs FIFA approval.

    Family member of mine wish to thank you for your patience. The club is of great importance to the city. This has been a very wild ride, Wilder than you think. Nothing that can be talked about for a long while. It was very close

     

    This from another forum, don't know how true it is.

    This is a piss take. It is the grammatical equivalent of Owen Garvan. Ignore.

    So what I'm taking out of all of this is that there actually is a way for FV to complete the purchase of the club without fear of Bassini having a claim on it further down the line. Full stop.

    The argument between Bassini and Anderson shouldn't hold the sale up, unless someone is looking for an excuse not to complete - Burnden Leisure were struck out of the injunction, so that's a green light to sell. What's left is an argument between Bassini and Anderson about that alleged deal and whether any damages arise. The injunction was hurried and unprepared, and it seems like a last ditch attempt to sabotage the takeover so he could step in and get the deal. Like I say, I don't think is anything to do with the club, he/Sullivan want the assets as they've identified an opportunity. Ironically, this may actually have bought FV a bit more time to navigate on the hotel. Plus, if they had completed, we wouldn't have had the Coventry experience!

    Wow, Laurence is that you?

    Definitely not, I wouldn't have worn that coloured suit, or used that tailor. And he couldn't afford a house in Romiley. Marple perhaps.....

    Please can we just stop with this utter nonsense that Bassini can ever just be handed the club by a court. He cannot. It just isn’t happening. By the time it comes to a point where a decision might be made on whether he has a claim on Burnden Leisure it will have been liquidated one way or another. The assets won’t be there. 

    Bassini's race is run. He's done. As I said before, whatever his motivation, it wasn't a love of the club, it was an opportunity to make money.

    It’s a small area of Cherry Tree 

    It's a suburb of Stockport that is a more desirable place to support Bolton from than Marple.

    Woah woah woah, don’t be trying to upstage the Marple Whites with your 7 from Romiley....

    Bloody JCL’s :D

    I'm recruiting. 3 season ticket holders + 2 Liverpool, 1 United and 1 Sheff United. Seen you and raised you.

    Interesting.  Nice to hear some facts from the day. Is Nixon as much a dickhead as he comes across? Like the way he initially failed to mention the fact that club was able to be sold.

    He's an old bloke, late 60's I guess. Someone told me he's semi-retired and does it freelance, so he dips in and out, and probably gets his beer money out of days like today. He certainly didn't look like he was 'working the room' and was sat/slumped on his own. Most of his narrative is guesswork or 'fud' blocking, which makes me wonder how and why he's got so much currency.

    Was Sweaty Ken's QC wearing a tank top and was Bassini donning a hard hat and flashing his blue loafers, theres quite a bit of scaffolding on Bridge Street near the court so it was definitely a possibility. 

    He looked quite dapper, although he had highlights, which I wasn't so sure about. Jacko was there (Dearden, not Michael), and Marc Iles and, peculiarly, Nixon. I'm not that sure he was paying close attention judging by his response.

  12. I was in court today, start to finish. I'm not sure what was more stressful, being in there or trying to get 7 Tranmere tickets - the 2 actually consumed an equal amount of my day. Anyway, we should be good to go now, as we should have been on Friday but for a 'misinterpretation' when Bassini sent the Thursday decision to the EFL, administrators and 'others', absent critical, and potentially contemptuous, information. The key indicator to me was when the Inner Circle QC turned to his solicitor and winked after summing up. That said, the Bassini QC was smoother than an oil slick and had me seduced for a while. Bassini was clearly upset in the side room at the end, but I really can't escape the notion that all of this (the bungled injunction)  this was about money, not the club.
