Aye, that's what I'm holding out for. If they want to punish someone, just ban ken from any future ownership, or even any involvement in football.

Iles says unlikely new owners can get us out of it. Same embargo as when Ken took over. Can’t pay fees only frees and loans without a fee. Restriction on wages. Restriction on numbers. I don't mind Iles but he's not exactly the most ITK of individuals, and his argument about it on twitter was simply screenshoting the rule book, and did KA challenge it? His challenge was to reduce the costs significantly and reduce the playing head count. With the minus 12 to cope with and with 14 players there is a stronger argument to not impose, assuming the new owners can evidence that spending isn't going to put us back to square 1.

Razaldo9 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 We will just have to see. I can't see us avoiding another embargo if it has always been imposed. There must be previous clubs that came out of admin with new owners that went in to embargo, so you'd assume they'll follow the precedent. Maybe they won't punish us for not fulfilling the game as a compromise. Say something about if you go in to admin and can't fulfill a fixture, no further penalty is incurred. Would prevent other teams not playing them as there could be a punishment for other reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this stage they've promised to "stump up" - not quite the same thing. But you're right - until we know any better we have every reason to be optimistic that they'll deliver.

If it's Bassini, then he has obviously provided everything required. Time for celebration not speculation (see what I did there) Bingo Admin mob look at it black and white. Whoever it is has the best bid and access to most funds Or, they are less skint than the rest. Either way they’re the best option.

Exactly, considering that the very existence of the club has been very much in the balance, the above makes great reading, whatever tomorrow brings.

chrisw99 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 "The bidder has also agreed to immediately invest £1m into Bolton to fund the "running of the club and the rebuilding of the playing squad" ahead of the 2019-20 season." Hmm, wasn't Bassini going on about having £1m ready for immediate use when he was waving his bit of paper around on Sky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpey Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 All this talk about Bassini and FV, there are three others in the mix who knew from the outset that they'd be up against these two.
