e2e4 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47691385 look at bristol city .. no ones querying their future once their owner goes away. the words bristol city arent even mentoned in the article. amongst all the bar graphs and total lack of top flight football in the recent past. fucking hell its only five minutes ago when people were bucket shaking for brighton (at doncasters expense , who BTW were being fucked over by a crook at the time) because they got to an fa cup final once. Also wanna put this here- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administration_(British_football) look at the amount of teams . I'm not really sure what my point is , but this focus on bolton seems funny, when theyve slept on (or cheerleaded for) the likes of brighton , bristol city at various times in the past. bolton have been in the shit moneywise for ages now, why these various economic thinkpieces now ? I didnt give a fuck when Jay Jay were strolling round everyone , dont really give a crap now, sudden scaremongery from various quarters must mean a billionaire is coming..

Chris Custodiet Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) We all would have liked to have seen this resolved weeks, or better still months ago, but brinkmanship is usually two-sided. If Ken's a greedy so and so he's not short of company in professional football and, from what H says, Ken isn't holding out for a lot in the wider context. Maybe the devil's in the detail. WW is free of FIBS (Firth, Iles, Bower and Shortland) but not devoid of anti-Anderson sentiment and I can't be the only one wondering why H chose WW to brief against Anderson (and Basran) when there are potentially bigger audiences on Facebook and Twitter.

Traf Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 As we're all guessing, maybe Howard looked at Facebook, Twitter and a load of other forums, before deciding this was the most balanced/reasoned? Even when people disagree on here, they explain why. (before offering a straightener, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, why the fuck are you on here??? There must be a reason. You left once but decided to return - why was that? I think it may be because yes, there are conflicting views about everything that's going on but there aren't the mindless levels of shite that you find on FB/Twitter. There are also many reasoned comments amongst all the tits & banter that you'll find wherever guys congregate, whether they be accountants, PR's, teachers, brickies etc. So fucking patronising of you...

I guarantee that once the takeover saga is complete, we’ll hardly ever hear from you. You chose WW to vomit your nonsense onto, I assume because you’ve clocked that the debate is fairly level headed and reasonable, and you got a bit sick of the us va them mentality of twitterbook.
