Change Of Owner?

[Biggish Dave]

I don't see the problem in flogging the training ground. Sure, Lostock isn't as good a facility by all accounts and may never be but playing the billy bigbollocks is whats got us in the financial mess in the first place. About time we cut our cloth accordingly

[gonzo]

.....and back we go little old Bolton.

 

It was fun while it lasted.

What bank debt????

 

A skeleton in the cupboard?

 

Or clueless Nicko again?

 

I presume by bank debt they mean our overdraft facility, which was about £5M wasn't it?

[Carlos]

So we've got no debt and enough money to last the season. Yet folk are moaning. Fuck me.

[Take Hunt Off]

Clean sheet for the new owners ....no excuses from now on.

It's the way of the football fan, to always moan.

 

If we're basically starting with a clean slate next season, no matter what division we are in, at least we can then start to move forward. Hopefully fans won't start moaning about the lack of money being spent on signings when we're enjoying circa 10K crowds on a weekly basis

SS to take over, strip assets, then flog it to Tamraz for a tidy return

 

 

You heard it here fifteenth

Apart from mortgaging the stadium what's left to strip?

[Carlos]

Exactly. I'd fucking love Deano to come out and say, right lads, we've got no debt and will only from now on have servicable borrowing, our main revenue stream is ticket sales, if we get 6K then the team will reflect that. You, Bolton, want a high flying team, you need to get away from your keyboard and put your £££ where your mouth is.

I was wondering that, I've heard a few people claim that SS are just asset strippers..........firstly nobody can seem to offer up a reason why they believe this is the case, and secondly they can't state exactly what assets there are to actually be "stripped"

[Carlos]

Meanwhile, hats off to Eddie, he managed to put out a team full of internationals, Anelka in his absolute prime whilst managing to skim off a small fortune.

The Lostock site has the potential to be a lot better than the Euxton site its on a completely different scale to Euxton, hopefully we ship the equipment to lostock put up some new prefabs and it will be 10 times better than Euxton.

That is one of the best posts in the history of the internet - its up to the supporters to make it happen

Spot on folk spouting negativity and bollocks while not putting a penny piece into the club can fuck right off. If we can only muster enough fans to be a decent league 1 or sometimes Champinship team then so be it. Lets get a community ethos with tight knit set of loyal fans with a board who are striving to get the club better and I would like to think most true Whites would settle for that.

It's quite surreal to think that in a few days time our Club Chairman will probably be Dean Holdsworth.

 

I thought he was a replacement for Ameobi.

But it's not. 

 

And that's true of all clubs, especially the higher up you go.

[Naytch]

How long til rumours come out of Deano shagging half the players wives, the man just oozes sleaze haha

this lot have clearly led serious interest for a long time

 

1 -My concern is why are they only now the party that are preferred

 

If they have confirmed to why is best for BWFC now then great

 

2 -If we have now (had to) change(d) our requirements / demands, then I'm worried

 

If circumstances have now been met for ED et al to sell BWFC now but weren't before (ie sell assets first), then I am "concerned"; as it's likely that this is less favourable for the club that's left

 

Until we know the above and more, who knows

 

My guess is:

 

1 - because the billionaire could not prove he had the cash. If everything had been OK he could have been in.

 

2 - I think raising funds to last this season gives SS as clean a sheet as possible. But as Carlos has said, it is up to supporters to generate gate money next season.

[BOWTUN BAKED]

I presume by bank debt they mean our overdraft facility, which was about £5M wasn't it?

No, that's gone & was with Barclays, these 'debts' look like mortgages on the hotel owing to Natwest. I'll look later when I've got time

[bolty58]

Open mind.

 

Still alive and kicking and prepared to give anyone a chance who has the bollocks to take it on.

i havent a problem in the sale of the training ground if it means the WHOLE of the 2.2M of whatever we have got is penciled in for running costs for the next however months. If any of it is going in the current owners pocket before he hands over keys i do take issue.

[enzo gambaro]

I doubt that will ever be made public one way or the other, so it really just comes down to whether you want to have the hump or not.

[Guest]

A deal hasn't been done, may not ever be done and yet Bolton fans are already moaning about possible new owners they know nothing about. I cannot get my head around that.
