Pricey Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Doesn't the potential new owners have to do all the relevant checks with the EFL before posting a bid? I am pretty sure I have seen an article from the administrators to say if the checks hadn't been done then they wouldn't entertain a bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure I have seen an article from the administrators to say if the checks hadn't been done then they wouldn't entertain a bid I think they have to get EFL approval of the funding. Not sure that means EFL will have signed off the complete thing. I suspect that the timeframe till 7th is too tight for that. Administrators will want assurances that the funding in place is acceptable to the EFL. That is where most bids fall down. At least two groups trying to buy us in the past tripped up there.

I don't think anyone can make sense of this mess pal especially not 2 sheila's but that would be brilliant though, probably go something like this "Gooday" "Hi Guys, its Pricey from Bolton" "Gooday" "I need help, I am really confused as to what is going on at BWFC, can you guys help clear things up" *Silent tone, fuckers put the phone down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sluffy gave a general answer like that one but when asked again couldn't be more specific. How much is Ken getting, how much are the Davies family getting, how much is the Warbie family getting?

We've not seen financialy statements for near enough 2 years, and anyone who has seen the true picture will be under an NDA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So out of that 25 million, some will go to the major creditors - Eddie Davies Trust, Michael James, Brett Warburton. Some will go to everyone else we haven’t paid, Forest Green (Doidge) etc. And some of that 25 million is the running costs of the club for 2 years.

I'd love to have seen interest free loans at Bolton over the last 25 years or so... Don't get me wrong, I want a Sheikh Mansour, but if we get someone like an Ashley I'd be fine with that. Why would interest free loans have helped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I'm happy about it but I guess it does give some idea of where the money is required. Anderson is a secured creditor for £5m, so I assume he will seek to get all of that, Warburton is secured for £2.5 and James £5.5m but they may settle for less or in James cases possibly swap debt for equity in the new company owning the club. I couldn't square it at all in my mind whether Eddie had anything secured in the club - we were told he had £10m - that was triggered on performance targets such as reaching the Premier League in a certain time - so guess his reported £10m doesn't come into play? Otherwise what I've said previously is still the best breakdown I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
