Like all the official news we've had so far from BWFC has been ? "takeover completed by the end of the week" 4 weeks ago, etc. I think someone needs to redo the google maps thing when you type in "Gob Shites". Maybe make cunt drop onto Ken's office.

And he's no doubt in Dubai at the moment trying to sell the club to wealthy arabs ...

Well maybe not report it but certainly do what a good journo should do and investigate it...

This news needs to be out in the public domain, not just being discussed by a select few here. As someone said, it's colossal and should be on the front page of tonights Beano.

Can the transfer embargo be appealed against after a regime change, as that should be a punishment against the former owners?

Is it interest on debt that is killing us, because if that is cleared.... Someone said the wage bill was 250k a month = £3 million Lets be optimistic and say 11,000 season tickets at £400 average = 4.4 million 3000 extra tickets sold each match at average £25 = £75000 * 23 matches = £1,725,000 So - just looking at wages vs bums on seats we should be £3 million in profit. Then you add on TV money, advertising, sponsorship... It *should* make a profit. Or am I wildly off here.

Not many, but that's irrelevant - trying to figure out how many Bolton fans actually went.

The original of that is 4608 x 3456 resolution, and I make out about 700 people in total in the West Stand. Taken about 2 mins before kick off and not many more came out after that.

Last nights crowd must have come close - does anyone know the real number that's not inflated by ticket holders who don't turn up?

Were you at the Aldershot home game at Burnden Park, that still has to be the worst home game of all time (when we got relegated to the old 4th division via the original play-off structure were one of the 4 teams was from the division above). Last night came very close to beating that (not for the football, just the general atmosphere of doom)

The half time pies are cold, cant even afford to heat them up

Well he's logged in... ready for an announcement?

No idea what his instagram account is so can't check the truth of this. But if it's true he's on holiday in Dubai when the players aren't being paid, and all this malarkey is going on, I'm going to have to start using a capital C from now on.

45 mins to go. And if twitter/instagram are to be believed, Ken is currently on holiday in Dubai posting his holiday pics.

This is the argument Simon Jordan was making a couple of weeks back - are you buying a football club for a business investment, or for a hobby. Any other hobby you have probably costs you money and you don't expect to get all your money back you've spent on it if you give up the hobby 3 years later.

That's got me thinking, does Ken have any other source of income at the moment or just BWFC?

That ties in with something from a couple of weeks ago. I was buying something for my son from the club shop, and the guy in front handed over his season ticket for reward points or whatever you get, and the girl behind the till said they can't do them anymore as the system has been turned off as they haven't paid the bills.

Interesting reading all the comments from Watford fans in that article

If it's close of play tomorrow, then officially I'd guess not till Wednesday. But unofficially I would hope Howard drops some hints on here tomorrow.

Interesting article in The Times today... https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/seven-dark-days-of-bolton-wanderers-a-club-on-the-brink-tqjpnrlgq?shareToken=94fb579101ce32519f726bf238f3715b Sorry if it's been posted previously.

That only mentions they stumped up cash for the Ipswich game, but the reports last week said the safety notice had been lifted to the end of the season. So are they going to (or already have) be giving money for the Boro game tomorrow to go ahead as well?

Well however much of a muppet Bassini is, you can't argue with the fact that 8 years after he took control of a Championship club they are now in the Premier League and an FA Cup Final. Wonder how they got out of his mess and managed that?

What I want to know is, if he's gone from being bankrupt to a multi-millionaire in just a short time is... how the fuck do you do that because I want to do it.

Why does he have "love and affection" for BWFC?
