Hoppy510 105 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Have to say that all the fans who support other clubs in our small town have been coming up to me and the other local Wanderers fans expressing nothing but concern and offering nothing but support - they have been magnificent, despite them having to listen to me whingeing on about my concerns of what Anderson is doing to our club for the last three years. Definitely feeling the love for BWFC and if I was a religious man I would hope that's enough to see us through. Link to post Share on other sites

bolty58 1,384 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Been wandering (appropriately) around in a daze today. Can't quite believe what I am hearing from the mother country. I am hoping against hope that this is a (fucking dangerous) game of brinksmanship between the greasy fcuking bastard and Football Ventures and that by some miracle, we will be saved at the death a la Bury FC. As others have said, I have been inundated with calls, e-mails, SMS messages etc from folk who can't quite believe that 'such a big club' could be brought to this. Particularly warm offerings from WHU and MUFC fans which is quite chastening. Nothing but sympathy and disbelief from all. It should never have come to this but it seems that others will also experience this nightmare in the coming months/years and survival appears to be a bit of a lottery unless someone within the football hierarchy actually puts measures in place to effect a more even distribution of the squillions sloshing around within football to make sure that potential nurseries/feeder clubs for the big boys do not cease to exist. Fucking well constipated today I've been so wound up by this. Link to post Share on other sites

Sad times, but the game has been eating itself for years now, and a bit of a collapse was always going to happen at some point. It won't be long before a club like Stoke find themselves in our position I reckon Link to post Share on other sites
Traf 2,709 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Football probably needs a big or well-known club to go bump to give it the reality check it badly needs. I just hope it's not us. Link to post Share on other sites

Good question Professor. Fildraw didn't lend the money to ICIL, which you will see from the accounts you'll find here: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09782053/filing-history The money was lent to Ken Anderson and another redacted name. That's probably Mrs Anderson secured on assets owned between the two of them with a back-up security on the small value of shares in BL. Can't see anybody lending £5m quid on the security of a £200K property, can you? Anyway Mr and Mrs Anderson are unlikely to have seen much, if any, of the £5m most of it going to repay the Blumarble loan taken out in March 2016 by Holdsworth, legal costs and other overdue accounts of BWFC, before any of the rest left the solicitors office. The £10m is different. See note 21 of the 2017 Group accounts here: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09782053/filing-history Then we have the £1.6m that Rubins reported was all that was owed to Ken. Ken says it should be £7.5m. Say no more about that for now. I'd prefer to avoid anotherTLDR. Link to post Share on other sites

I just hope it's not us. Whilst I agree to a certain point, our potential demise won’t suddenly make a chairman / owner more conscientious. Theyre either financially cautious or reckless. I don’t think anyone will wake up tomorrow and think ‘I need to cut costs and remove our debt’ day to day demands of football doesn’t allow it. They’ll all keep treading water, preying they keep their heads from going under and only worry when they begin to drown. In real terms they’re not arsed about what’s going on next door but one Edited August 27, 2019 by barrycowdrill Link to post Share on other sites

The same could be said about "not involved with the discussions" (directly as his legal representatives were protecting his interests for him) and "not responsible for the delays" (directly as his legal representatives were the ones who were causing the delays by e.g. "not being available" and asking for more at the last minute) Mealy-mouthed as usual, but technically the statement is probably correct.
