Lostock Whites Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 This guy is evidently taking us backwards as a football club, not forwards. Parky did his job, got us promoted, kept us up, with almost no financial help. And Ken clearly hasn’t done his job properly, as we are in the news every minute, ie, club shop stock taken, players wages not paid, taking excessive wages or greed. And that’s only the last week! Its your football club, respond how you wish. But me personally, I’ve had enough of Bolton being constantly bombarded with negativity, every week, and taking 1 step forwards, and 2 steps backwards each time. Our fans have got to be up there, with the most patient fans in the country, as we’ve had to sit back, and take so much goddamn shit, from poor management from up above. This tosser doesn’t give a shite about Bolton Wanderers, he didn’t before he came, and he won’t after he’s gone. But we will all still be here, till our deaths. So to make sure we have a proper club in the future, we need to get rid of this crook, Anderson out please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkden White Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Anyway I'm sure we'll be signing that proven goalscorer that Parky wants any day now so nothing to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombwfc Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 1 hour ago, Casino said: Vince said the following...ish Anderson said on Wednesday he would pay on Thursday He didn't I recalled Doidge, Anderson is a cnut Now, one question Why would Anderson have said he would pay the next day...does it not seem odd Next week, next month, but next day What's the point Why not have the fcuk you, you're getting nowt conversation at that stage I don't know or claim to know but that seemed strange It's not the first (or second, or third) occasion Ken has stalled for time and set deadlines he doesn't keep. Vince has done a lot of interviews today, but on the FGR website his timeline goes as follows. A payment was supposed happen on Wednesday when the deal was to become permanent. He checked in with the club on Tuesday and got a less than convincing reply that all was in hand. No payment happened on Wednesday. He says he then spent the next two days talking to Ken and reached a new agreement "to accomodate us", before Ken reneged again and dared him to try and bankrupt us etc. My thing is, presumably the club know when the EFL payments are coming in and plan accordingly. Ken makes out like it just happens randomly at some point in the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breightmet Boy Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Two owners fall out over the time of payments and the next thing we know our club is in turmoil. What bothers me is some of our supporters believing the first person who speaks is the honest one, well that sometimes is not the case, why should KA join in the childish antics of the FGR hierarchy, usually the first to speak is the dummy spitter not getting everything his own way. Well done KA for laughing at his ‘don’t care how, I want it now’ demands, I wouldn’t like to be treated like that either. KA seems more relaxed than anyone about this, I’ve heard his side of the stories now before commenting and feel better about the situation, it’s just a shame it’s escalated into all this I’m not going to let this ruin my week. Chill out chaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill out chaps. Your in danger at trivialising it a bit, it’s a complete shit show Players are going back because we can’t afford to pay what Ken said we would, I’m not sure I can recall players going back in this way before As has been said before these public spats are all too common, a list as long as your arm from Heathcoats to Forest Green, The Bolton News to Karl Henry Relationships breaking down left right and centre and the only common denominator is Ken. Perhaps he is hard done to and he has been wronged by all of them. Perhaps instead he’s in the wrong and his just full of wind and piss Hes had the benefit of the doubt for three years now, given what he inherited (as he keeps remind us), however this Doidge Deal is all of his own making so it’s on him Perhaps he will leave bags of shit like this deal lying around for the next owner / chairman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Ken takes a punt on an ok goal scorer from the lower leagues. player not good enough, hardly cost a penny for the trial. Good business?

Ken's going to need a return of more like 17 in 17 to stump up the cash - and that would be so he could sell him on. Other clubs won't fall for it, FGR have been gullible.

The mental gymnastics some on here are doing to try and pretend Ken is ‘ok’ against an absolute mountain of contrary evidence now, a mountain that is growing daily, is unbelievable to me. Does anyone seriouslt think a club like Forest Green Rovers would loan their best player to championship sides without receiving any fee for half a season and whilst paying the players wages in full? Does anyone seriously and honestly think that was the deal? Those that do, do you also think Norwich are lying? And Matthews and Doidge and the EFL? That’s before we even get onto the massive list of people who all accuse Ken of failing to pay up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the FGR guy wanted his money, he could have waited 1 week and got it paid directly by the EFL (secured football debt) as confirmed by a couple of L1 chairmen.. Then the same in summer if the next clause was triggered (surely payments were based on avoiding relegation - doubtful and x-number of goals - doubtful).

waffer cup 07 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 So wev'e no money everyone knows. Parky and Ken realise what a lot of supporters have seen Doidge isn't Championship standard, so lets pay money we haven't got and sign a striker on a 3 year deal that can't hack it, or pull out of the deal. not maybe what's accepted but what's good for the club. While it may not be the accepted way of doing things in FGR carrot munching vegan do goody world, welcome to slippery Sweaty's world were he his looking after his own money and the clubs. Same with Matthews, do we really need a goalie that has hardly played when we have young keepers at the club that can do the same job.

Boothy Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) 8 hours ago, bwfcfan5 said: And I’d suggest you explain how many people successfully win a case when they claim a verbal agreement has superseded a written one when the other party denies such verbal agreements. Good luck with that. Also why were FGR paying his wages? And Norwich paying their two? Clearly not what was agreed. Its clear Ken is talking a load of nonsense. Look, the thing is, I don't have to explain anything to you as I'm not the one rattling off hysterical nonsense. If you have something to add to the conversation, that is fine - we are all allowed opinions. What bothers me is the way you portray things as factual or even dismiss previous discussion that is directly addressing your points and explaining the reasoning as to why they wrong. Take the last paragraph for instance. It has already been succinctly explained that the CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT lies between the parent club (EMPLOYER) and the player (EMPLOYEE). The LOAN CONTRACT is between the parent club (LENDER) and BWFC (LOANEE). You are talking about separate contracts and separate issues. I'll make your life a little easier this morning by letting you in on a little fact. A verbal agreement under English law is LEGALLY BINDING. There are complication to verbal agreements, such as difficulty in legal settlement due to the ambiguity that may arise if the parties disagree. Now I would presume that Ken is more than aware of this, being the slippery fella that he is. But that is his prerogative. Whether he is acting illegally time will tell. Immorally, well that depends where you stand - most would agree it is immoral BUT perhaps, just perhaps, this is the only hand he has to play with. By the way, I'd personally suggest the figure of success is much higher than you anticipate given the hundreds of years of development on English contract law that enshrine the legality of verbal agreements. Whether they hit court or there is an out of court settlement is another matter. May be Ken has hit a brick wall with this £100 millionaire swampy who will call his bluff? No one knows yet. Now the factual part is out of the way, which I fully anticipate you will ignore - at the end of the day Kenneth MAY or MAY NOT be bang to rights. We've heard one side of the story on one particular issue which inevitably will be used to further one sides cause. I suspect FGR will quieten down a bit sooner or later as it seems to me that he is treading a fine line on what he is saying about Ken Andersen. As far as Norwich goes, we have had a statement from a journalist with a very sketchy track record saying we owe money to Norwich City for loaned players. Factually correct that may be. At a guess, I'm sure plenty of people on here owe "substantial six figure sums" to lenders for their mortgages. Personally, I prefer to know a little more before I bundle plenty of complex issues together and start spouting hysterical misinformed statements. Just ask yourself one question though. In these past three years, how many times has Ken passed the threshold with one of these suppliers in a legal context? He is sailing very close to the wind, granted, but that is - rightly or wrongly - his style. That may well change in the coming weeks / months but to say he hasn't done anything for the Club or moved us on from the liquidation hearing, to my mind, is baffling. To say he is in it for personal gain, to me, is so obvious that is needn't be written down. Of course he is in it for himself, you would have to be a basket case to take on BWFC for charitable purposes.

So on top of being a cunt he's proving to be much less shrewed than has been claimed I appreciate he wants out as much as anyone, let's hope that time comes sooner rather than later so we are spared the public disagreements between the club and pretty much everyone the club has dealings with Edited January 8, 2019 by birch-chorley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FACT. Ken said in his last Q&A his style is brinkmanship, he will let it go right to the wire to get what he can. I think this is what's happened here. 3 players going back who have been bang average. It's not an ethical business style and he's still a sweaty slippery character but I'm not that arsed about losing the players.

I’m basing it off the comments Ken has made about the number of instalments die to FGR Chalk it up and your looking at £500k - £750k by the looks of it Given we couldn’t pay the Tea lady a couple of months later I’d say that makes him about as shrewd as the person who gave Ben Amos a huge whopping contract a few months before we went into court on a winding up order Ken’s not shut up about the mess he inherited and how he’s tried to balance the books, he then goes and signs us up to this deal If we didn’t have the money then fair enough, sign someone we can afford or promote the kid who’s gone to Accy on loan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
