Reckon this was his plan all along, throw it in there right at the end. He feels he’s in the position of strength by leaving it this late. No other option but him or liquidation now. He’s played a good game but it’s going to cost us our club or Davies family 7.5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can just put aside our 3 year history on the subject of Anderson's trustworthiness for a moment I have a genuine question for you. I know that the full facts are still not out in the open, but do you now feel any less inclined to make less robust defences of Mr Anderson's motives and character now compared to say three months or three years ago? Not having a go but I am genuinely curious to learn if your position has changed or if you still "trust his professional judgement to do what's best for the club" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rolf Harris turns up for babysitting, you're not a big meanie for questioning whether his past makes him unsuitable for the job. Ken was incredibly fortunate to have far more support here than he ever deserved. Indeed. Hopefully the efl will now stop any cunts with this type of record from buying a club.

Not saying the Davies family would necessarily have put it all into the club, but either way it's a question of just how much it will cost BWFC.

True but when Deano arrived we still hadn't gone into administration so there could have been more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was debated a couple of weeks ago, any new owner should be able to deposit a years running cost to the EFL, that deposit will stay with them until the owners have proven that they are capable of running the club solvent, if for any reason wages are not being paid, then the EFL chip away at their deposit to ensure clubs are sustainable for at least a year.

Whether it went to the club or not is irrelevant in this scenario. If Ken lent it all to the club, and it’s secured he will get all £7.5 million back. The clause he wants inserting would mean that he cannot be pursued through the civil courts by EDT for Not paying the loan back to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean hedging against a potential future default. Can't he just get insurance against that? There again with his track record nobody would be daft enough to insure him.

Apparently the loans to KA are secured against his personal assets so house, car, boat etc. If he didn’t pay back then EDT can have assets seized. With the clause They wouldn’t, simple as that.

birch-chorley Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Worst mistake they made selling to Ken They have subsidised the club since then and risk losing it to Ken who doesn’t deserve a penny I wouldn’t blame the EDT for walking away if that’s the case If we liquidate would Ken and EDT both be worse off?

I never agreed with some of the hero worship Ken received, but any fans who supported him at any point aren't to blame. Far from using the fans response to him as an excuse for his actions (as Sluffy and Custard do continually), he should be pretty grateful that with his past the reaction wasn't much worse, much sooner. I expect next time a man with his past tries to take over a football club, it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
