tomski Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I’m not convinced these lot will find a proper buyer. I’m unsure what that land could be used for other than football and egg chasing though? I reckon a supporters take over and a drop in to non league within 2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the underlying feeling? Are they going to do a Bury? Are they going to do a Bolton? Are they going to do a Wigan (sort of a bit of each)? They will do a Wigan Borough.

Popeye doyle Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 It's bizarre what's currently happening. The season has started and yet the admins are still talking about interested buyers showing up at the door. It's as though the EFL have abandoned their Criteria for funding and they're blindly hoping something turns up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesince63 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Must admit I’m surprised the EFL haven’t made any demands on the administrator finding a buyer. Surely with nothing certain even now, they should be initiating some kind of instruction. Either they are very confident there is a genuine buyer or they’re just keeping fingers crossed? Can’t make my mind up which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFL are making the rules up as they go along They gave Krasner permission for Wigan to start the season - Verbally That was wrong - should have set out basis for decision in writing for all to see On a separate note Barnsley seem to be having a few off the field issues https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8732425/Barnsley-hold-talks-EFL-clubs-shock-away-Oakwell.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeye doyle Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 It's another loss of a decent club. It's sickening when you look at their debts compared to the billions swilling around at the top end of the pyramid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 In fairness though, Generally player wages are relative to the revenue that they generate Obvious exemptions where clubs over spend If you dropped Macc in the PL they could give 25 players a contract of £100k a week and still break even The global viewing figures and advertising revenue generated on the back of it is incredible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) In that Guardian article it's mentioned about it being difficult to sell a lower league club so close to Manchester United/City. Looks like we got bought at just the right time... touch wood. Edited September 16, 2020 by Mantra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeye doyle Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Lots of arguing now on LS between the fans and lots of bile and vitriol aimed at the administrators. The thing is, there isn't a credible buyer and that isn't the fault of the administrators. Slept like a baby last night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted September 17, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2020 Whilst I'd love them to go pop Part of me just wants them to do a Bury. Disappearing altogether means their fans get off lightly, and can al go back to supporting Liverpool and Everton like they did as kids. Much better if they end up where Bury are then they have to watch them playing Aspull Shitkickers FC for the next million years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted there would be handful of supporters who went with the lower league option. 100-200 maybe. Certainly no more than 50%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the administrators have done a decent job from what I can see (sold stuff off and kept the place going) At the end of the day the asking price is £4m which seems reasonable really for a football club and Stadium If nobody is willing to stump up £4m then it’s not the admins fault is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted September 17, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2020 Always worth a read through their thread on BWFC’s woes.
