October 21, 201510 yr Is it true the Oystons are trying to sell Blackpool so they can buy BWFC ? Thats given me my first laugh since I saw the line-up last night.
October 21, 201510 yr Thats given me my first laugh since I saw the line-up last night. That was the idea. - we sure need a laugh or two. I did think it might be the Glazers and they'll load us with debt. Then I thought - oh, but hang on .......
October 21, 201510 yr That was the idea. - we sure need a laugh or two. I did think it might be the Glazers and they'll load us with debt. Then I thought - oh, but hang on ....... The Glazers bought ManU to exploit a potential money-making asset. They had to saddle it with debt to gain control, and have been screwing the genuine fans at OT to the maximum, consistent with not quite extinguishing the goodwiil the name gains in many parts of the world. ED bought BWFC, whose modest debts threatened oblivion, backed an outstanding manager to the point where he realised a line needed to be drawn, and for several years has been seeking a buyer of the right ethos to take the club forward again. There are huge differences between the two.

October 21, 201510 yr i'm on your side, malc but from memory, we were 60 million in the hole when eddie arrived I'll take your word for that - it was certainly too much to cope with.
October 21, 201510 yr that well known knocker of all things bwfc, the singing postman writes Lest this should be seen as an exercise in Davies bashing, it should be pointed out that his take over of Bolton in December 2003 offered the only viable paddle when the Whites were up the financial creek, with debts of £60 million and a state close to insolvency. However, that involvement came at a price. Chief executive Allan Duckworth said at the time that Davies’s loans to the club carried repayment costs “at a premium which reflects risk, which is high at a football club.” december 2003 being well in to sams era Edited October 21, 201510 yr by Casino
October 21, 201510 yr that well known knocker of all things bwfc, the singing postman writes december 2003 being well in to sams era He joined the board in 1999, but only became the majority shareholder in 2003. Not sure why I'm pointing that out. Maybe that's what you were getting at anyway. Edited October 21, 201510 yr by Cheese
October 21, 201510 yr more highlighting the misconception that ED has run up a massive debt all on his own and also the nonsense that allardyce wasnt backed

October 21, 201510 yr If we are already white, how can we lighten up? I have heard from a bloke in the pub that, if the takeover goes ahead, the Thai's are going to change the colour of our kit to "transparent". NLSTA Edited October 21, 201510 yr by Cheese
October 22, 201510 yr Apparently John McGinley was on GMR With Jack Deardon the Brum game. He said (something along the lines of), he had heard that morning that the club would be sold for a song in the next few days.

October 22, 201510 yr As long as they're the fit Thai type who can cook and clean, Iamin. Get them serving in the kiosks instead of the numbnuts currently used.
