Change Of Owner?

The court will agree a settlement. I'd probably say in favour of the party that has a pot to piss in.

Possibly but by that stage the club will have zero money as the Clough and holding money will be gone. Who will then pay the wages? It needs to be resolved before then IMO.

I'm more interested in the blu marble bit. Dean got into bed with them when he bought the club before Ken Anderson was around, but am not sure if Dean owned the club out right at that point. My assumption is that, if he got the loan form BM and it was guaranteed against say, the stadium, that would have had to have been signed off by ED,as he still owned the club when Dean got his BM loan, if this wasn't disclosed to Ken A when he joined with Dean, then I understand Ken A might have a point regarding litigation, as he would have had to have been told the terms of the BM loan. As we don't really know what the BM loan isall about, i

m more interested in this element

I think this is the main part for me also. Cant quite get my head round why this is all cloak and dagger given how much has been said by both parties. At least KA saying out loud he thinks this loan is nothing to do with him nor the club (at least his majority shares) and doesnt want DH paying back a stupid loan with half his money.

 

Surely deano couldnt have waltzed into BM and said lads lend us 5m to buy wanderers, they asked what security he had to protect the loan and were happy that the security was the very the thing he intended to buy. Any fucker could have done that surely. He doesnt seem to have any other money because KA keeps asking for it. 

 

Finding it very hard to not be on team Anderson at the moment, not only because he seems a hell of a lot more open and honest than Deano is managing and on a more fan based argument if Ken wins this I think we would be so much better off as a club if we can fuck Deano and his wonga loan off for good. Let Sportshield deal with it. 

 

Surely the next development has got to pretty significant and give us a better idea of what is likely to happen, either straight and debt free and KA has a good saleable club for future investment or truly fucked!

If dh had done this bm business before ka came in then why was ken needed?

 

I thought he put some money in up front to buy the club; however if this isn't the case then presumably he was brought in to fund the club until end of this season.

So either ka made an error in not checking things out properly or dh hoodwinked him over the bm situation.

Bloody farcical

or Ken did know but also knew it had not been done legally so he took the 4m knowing full well at some point he would use the lack of paperwork or whatever it is to get out of paying it back through the club? If the case, Ken is pulling a bit of a fast one but we need him too. Because I can see that Deano is a bit pissed if he has thrown 4 of his 5m loan into the club and its gone and Ken wants more before he will pay anything in. 

 

Edit- but as you say, why was Ken needed if DH had already bought the club with his BM money? gonna be a long drawn out load of legal shite this

Has that photo been squashed?

He wants squashing. Jabba.

 

Some thoughts, if he's acting as a mouthpiece for the ST, given his Twitter account is quite sneering towards the club... He's an insolvancy man, hence his involvement in the ST given the state of the club. I may be wide of the mark, he what does an insolvancy man know about running or building a successful business? Granted I believe he recently set up his own business, maybe he should be concentrating on that.

 

The club, the ST and the fans don't need a bottom feeder waiting for the club to collapse, so they can step up and take the plaudits. He needs to crawl back under his (fucking big) stone if he has nothing positive to add. That goes for the rest of the sneering twats in the ST.

 

Of course, this is all academic as we need £30m to see out next season anyway.

Think there's also some issue about Blu Marble having a charge on DH's shares which again KA was not aware of and this is against the understanding of each others shares being offered to the other one first.

right

 

so 

 

what did Deano do with his £5M loan exactly

 

presumably it was to buy the club or to give to ED, or something

 

if so, why does KA suggest that DH has not put any money forward

 

is KA trying to be rid of DH and his loan repayments for good?

 

if so, what was the loan for and can KA actually do that?

 

if not, why doesn't he acknowledge that DH has put in £5M (or £4M plus expenses)

 

it's a bit confusing and dunno who to trust/believe

I thought DH only paid a quid for the club

 

The BM loan went to pay the HMRC off so we didn't get wound up (among other short term debts)

 

effectively DH hasn't put anything in as the BM loan is secured against the ground (apparently)

 

Assuming he needed KA onboard to show that they had funds available for ongoing costs and that's how Anderson got his 45% share

 

As it stands I can't see that either of them have invested a penny (forgetting short term loans)

Including KA so not sure how he expects to proceed without DH without covering the loan in someway

 

Assuming that's what he's trying to do

 

That money "saved" the club so it needs paying off or be part of the financials moving forward

So KA will get them to pay off the loan instead once DH is out the door?

 

All these statements and Im still none the wiser as to the direction we want to go in

it's deanos loan though.

 

So KA pays Deano for his 37.5% and Deano pays blu marble?

 

Or the loans gets transferred to KA under better terms?

 

Fuck knows :)

latest statement:

http://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/ken-anderson-bolton-wanderers-macron-efl-league-one-3577392.aspx

 

Before the game I met with the Supporters Trust and had what I think was an open, frank and meaningful meeting. 
 
I am hopeful that going forward we will be able to work closer together and be more supportive of each other, as it is essential that we get the club back on a financially sustainable foundation and work our way through eradicating the losses and putting ourselves in a position to refinance the club through a debt and equity offering. 
 
I have to say, I came away from the meeting believing that they were on side and would be very supportive going forward in helping, supporting and understanding the difficult and at times painful decisions I am having to make to ensure the future of this club. 
 
Together, I am confident we will come out of this much stronger for the actions we are currently having to take. 
 
I also had a meeting with Specialist Catering Company/Heathcotes, our catering partner yesterday and I am pleased to say that we have resolved the recent issues and are now focusing on moving everything forward, hopefully, for the better.
