He wasn't ever in the media or even the local paper. He kept himself to himself. He put a lot of money into Bolton Wanderers, more than everyone else in history combined. That is a fact.

Secondly, I hear the winding-up petition from HMRC against the Whites Hotel has now been withdrawn at the court. Is there no end to Ken's devious ways?

Site Supporter Spider Posted January 21, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2019 Tell you what, the more bills get paid, the more things happen how KA said they would, the more upset the protesters become. It's almost like they now need him to fail so they can say they told us so until their eyes gloop out onto their cheeks with righteous fury. Still in the woods, like. But there's a team playing tonight which is most inconvenient to some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Sadly, a lot of these online protesters still live at home and have never experienced the problem of cashflow issues. When sometimes you face the prospect of choosing between putting food on the table for your kids or paying your rent on time. Sometimes in life you have to prioritise how you spend what little money you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Be interesting to see how the finances go after we have spent the EFL money. We'll be hand to mouth until the next lot, assuming we are still in the Championship next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far will it go- do we need to be looking at reducing the squad size, rather than be adding to it? If more cuts are required then make them; rather be in league one and balancing the books than fighting a losing battle with finances in the championship.

You are wrong, the memorial service was advertised in the Bolton News as open to everyone.I am just a fan and attended because it was advertised in the paper.,The lack of football people there was a surprise to me, the only semi famous people I recall being there were Ann Taylor and Peter Ridsdale.Towards the back of the church were several empty pews and others with one fan on them.I spoke to a couple of fans who had travelled from down south to attend due to seeing the ad in the paper The Nat Lofthouse and Ian Greaves funerals (which i attended, well i was outside the church at Nat's) attracted dozens of famous footballers, there was no such turnout at Eddie Davies' memorial servce from the football community. Ken's absence was poor form if he simply chose not to, I have heard it suggested that the Davies family weren't happy with his business talks in the final days of Eddie Davies' life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may well have Moonshift as the club owner within a few weeks or so, otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urchin Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Let's face it Moonshift will only accept immediate payment on due day, KA cannot fund this, likely that Moonshift will fund Admin and that will be a massive move forward for BWFC!! 17 minutes ago, Sluffy said: I think the first issue to be dealt with is if KA redeems (or extends) his £5 million loan to Moonshift, for which he put up his ownership shares of the club for.
