Article in Sunday Express saying takeover imminent.....

i kind of like Ken's style.

 

The trust moaned that the previous regime kept the fans in the dark.

 

Ken is throwing light on the trust's bellend behaviour. They don't half come across as a bunch of self important cocks.

 

Unfortunately, anything Ken says about the ST would be viewed (by the ST) as proof positive that their probing is having the desired effect. Maybe the self-appointed steering group are that deluded with their self-importance.

Fucking spit it out then.

 

Wonder why these cunts with hardly any posts have suddenly come out of the woodwork? Simon T.....S.T....hmmmmm

You're way off.

This cloak and dagger stuff is garbage, if you have someting to say to enlighten me in regards to Ken than please do so, if you can't than I suggest you stop posting.....whilst I am not his biggest fan, and am not naive to think he is perfect, until you actually tell me me something factual, than keep it to yourself

This cloak and dagger stuff is garbage, if you have someting to say to enlighten me in regards to Ken 

 

Spot on, if you can't come up with any evidence of any wrong doing or "cover up" then don't bother posting anything

You ain't seen me, right?

The ST are the behind the scenes version of Orange warriors - not even liked in their own home

 

made me chuckle....

I bet SimonT's Facebook profile status is littered with #Fuming.  Just wanting people to ask what is wrong for attention!

 

In fact, I am going to start one...

 

"Big news about what has happened to all the £10's from the ST membership.  I cant say too much it is scandalous...  Trust me on it!"

Sadly Ken is pulling wool over your eyes on this one. I had faith in him but now I realise it's worse than it even appears. Bolton are skint. Trust me on this.

Does this mean that there is no War Chest?

Do it.

Oh there is, and it's massive

 

Don't worry about that, it's on its way

The thing that makes me trust Sweaty Ken is that he hasn't been afraid to say when things are shit.

He's not put a positive spin on bad news other than he's hopeful he and his team can sort it out.

If he can bring the monthly losses down whilst enabling Parky to get us promoted he's done a good job so far.

This off season would've been massive even if we hadn't been promoted so add in the need for strengthening for the championship and Ken has his work cut out without sniping from the ST

Lot of the stuff from yesterdays 'note' has been taken off ??

i think he sometimes speaks from the heart

 

often out of (understandable) frustration

 

then, somebody advises him to tone it down

Has anyone got a link to what he said (full version)?

"In relation to the recent news about winding up petitions being issued against the Club and Burnden Leisure, I would like to be as open and transparent as possible.

 

Firstly, for the record, the SCC winding up petition referred to in the media was paid and settled some time ago. SCC are paid up to date including the final game of the season.

 

It is important to note that the dispute at the time wasn’t solely about money owed to them but their obligations under a capital contributions agreement.

 

We now have a good working relationship with SCC and recently signed off a £150,000 Pure Bar refurbishment programme with them commencing in June as well as other capital contributions for the business.

 

The Burnden Leisure winding up petition has also been dealt with. The club HMRC winding up petition is currently being dealt with and has been delayed because of the complications of the BluMarble action against Dean Holdsworth’s company Sports Shield BWFC.

 

I am, as previously stated, optimistic on the outcome of both of these matters.

 

I would also like to reiterate that when required to do so, l have personally financially funded the club in the past and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future as I did with last month’s salaries and other creditor payments.

 

I was disappointed to read the statement issued by the Supporters' Trust this morning. I received a text message from them at 10.48pm last night asking for my comments. Despite my attempting to contact them at 7:43am this morning, they went ahead and issued it before I had chance to speak with them.

 

I think it is unfair and without foundation to say that the club has 'lurched from one crisis to another.’ l would say that based on where we were on and off the pitch at the end of last season, when no one gave us a chance of surviving, let alone being automatically promoted at our first attempt, all in all it has been a successful year for the club, its players, staff and supporters.

 

It is true to say that the Supporters Trust have made offers to assist financially but it has always been with various covenants and equity demands.

 

As an example, we recently asked if they could assist us in funding some works the manager had requested on one of the pitches at the training ground to bring it up to the stadium standard at a cost of circa £140,000.

 

They responded they would give it consideration in return for 10% equity in the club and board representation. This of course was politely declined.

 

They did also say that they did not currently have the funds to assist in any case and would need to petition their members for the funds and approval.

 

I have never said outside money is not required. Indeed, l have always made it absolutely clear that we would welcome new equity funding on the right terms and are currently holding discussions with potential investors along these lines.

 

If the Trust believe they can assist in bringing new equity to the club on commercial terms then my door is always open for further discussions."

So the ST wanted 10% ownership of the club in exchange for some money they don't have?

Worked for Deano!

Im ooot

We must have the most informative open chairman in the league, sometimes to open for his own good. We have a supporters trust that say they are trying to help the club and yet seem intent on disrupting things and seeking problem where there aren't any.

Ken needs stop biting abit I'd say - fuck ST get on with the good work

By replying openly he shoots them down and pulls the rug from under their efforts. If he said nowt they'd be using it to back up their claims.

 

If they have evidence of anything untoward then they should use it properly. If not then fuckin button it and get behind him.

I'm not one hundred percent convinced by him yet, but he continues to keep the club going and has earned our backing.

Not offering £140000 for a ten percent stake in the club. Can't buy a player for that. Disgrace.

To say we "lurch from one crisis to another" a week after promotion was never going to sit well with most fans regardless of whether it is true.

 

Both sides are playing political games, but unluckily for the Trust, Ken is just better at it.

Seems like the Trust can't be trusted.

He has had a pop at Marc Lies... haha.

 

Go on Ken.

Ken is sat there like Scarface knowing pretty much everyone is on his side, singing from the same hymn sheet as he'd say.
