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

What if they make it £8 per room, per night?

Rofl

We are a championship club in stature without a doubt, the support base needs someone to believe in and an owner to get behind, positivity and momentum is the key, this news is a small step in the right direction.

 

I think we are as big as a new owner's aspirations.

 

Average sized clubs can punch above their weight with good backing, fair play rules or not.

surely hotel income cant count towards club finances and the fair play rule thing?

 

otherwise bolt on a successful business and buy whoever the fuck you like and pay them what ever the fuck you like?

 

im not totally up to speed with the fair rules though the be fair... 

 

i think it can, but at the moment, FFP is the least of our worries

What if they make it £8 per room, per night?

 

itll still be 3 quid too much

Some can I think

 

Remember the UEFA FFP system had a large grey area to avoid city owners just lumping Ethiad into the books or getting Ethiad to sponsor the shirts for £500m

So even if his commitment has been overstated and he has only put £100m in, it does seem strange that people whose commitment does not stretch to getting a bus/train to the ground are slagging him off.

 

That is not a dig at fans it is a dig at non fans.

there still some (well one) sceptics on faceache.

I've seen...

Eddie Davies is a Bolton legend.

 

No doubt about it now.

Hold on.

 

Eddie has taken out millions in interest

Eddie Davies is minted

He's never given us that much money, don't be daft

Where has all the money gone, it's one big con?

 

As I've been saying for ages. Eddie Davies is a saint. People who have never read a set of accounts before suddenly look at their football clubs, don't understand them, don't like what they see, make up their own reasoning and have tried to drag our owners name through the mud.

 

Eddie Davies has single handedly made it possible for the club to have its best 10 years in recent history.

 

I'm sure there will still be some that don't believe it though. After all, it's all a smoke screen!

I can see why people were sceptical before, and I can see why they might still be - I'm sure if/when a takeover happens there will be more information about how the club has been run over the last few years to come out

Everyone has had a right to be sceptical until they saw the conditions of ED's exit

 

We aren't sheep

I'd be delighted if we became a stable mid-table Championship club with the odd promotion fight thrown in every few years. Maybe a good cup run here and there. Think that's our realistic level if we're to operate without someone chucking in silly money.

Think we'd all snap your hands off for that

Pretty much sums it up as to where we are in the pecking order

We aren't sheep

So what's the excuse now?

 

The sheep are those that follow any daft fucker on twatter or facebook instead of reading the audited accounts.

 

Just read the fucking accounts.

I didn't say there was one now

 

I said I applaud it

Normally agree with Eddie's posts but not convinced ED is a saint nor do I think he's a crook. I think he has given bwfc a fair bit of his wedge but I think he has took out a fair bit.

 

Let's hope some rich bastards but us now!

Always said Eddie is a top man.

Despite the fact we would all settle for that right now that won't be ambitious enough for the new owners...they'll want to be in the promised land sooner rather than later

in that statement from birch, what does this mean?

 

 

There will also be some change of control payments to other parties that the new owners need to honour.

Did you not read the statement? He's £170-odd million out of pocket.

Incredible since he has only ever been worth 100m

Could this be the loan we took out recently, probably under written by someone and needs to be transferred to new owner.

So you're saying he's lying?
