So for the sake of my ill informed admin knowledge, what happens to players contracts? Do they run on if a buyer is found after admin, or is the contract with previous owner?

 

Case here of Darlington:

In normal business TUPE means if so one buys from the receiver they have to take on and honour existing employees contracts

Team on Boxing Day gonna be interesting

 

On the other hand after dust settles and we haven't literally got a urinal to piss in. What a care free party we can have till relegation and oblivion

Can we borrow your buckets?

Wind your neck in

I've been told D day is next Tuesday.

Wind your neck in

Play nice Gonkle

As in Adminsitration/Bought/Wound Up*

 

*delete as appropriate

out of interest, how would you see administration playing out?

 

lets not forget, we then lose all control over who buys it

 

if we're already looking at holdsworths mob being the most likely, i dread to think of what sort of folk will be mauling us

How do you seeing this playing out?

Play nice Gonkle

We don't need their second hand buckets, I'll buy my own thanks.

How do you seeing this playing out?

 

 

not well

 

but im not the one saying its what i want

Whatever happens we are in for one hell of a rocky road.

 

It's a long way back baby.

 

If this is like the 80's all again....I can't wait for the 90's to kick in. Ooh ahh Branigan.

to counter my fears over admin, even getting a buyer doesn't mean all is well............

 

even if it got us through to the summer, its still going to be carnage

 

 

ive long felt the outgoings didn't stack up against the income but i didn't realise just how out of line they are

 

my oft trotted out 3k a week wage is seemingly about 2 k more than we can afford on our income

 

 

wheres david jack, these days?

I don't want it to happen either.

I was thinking about this earlier.

 

So we end up getting relegated, and we are officially potless - do we still really want/need our ground?  -  I would have thought the upkeep on a ground our size would be pretty high, so does the ground become an expense we can do without? - ground share at another local club could become a possibility.

 

The Macron is arguably too big for us now, let alone if we go down to crowds of circa 8K if/when we drop a division - so if we enter administration, does and can the club walk away from the ground and look at other options?

Holy Harbour?

And play where? Bury ? Leigh? Reebok is too far for most of our fan base

This sounds grim. Dont keep the ground and ground fucking share. How the fucks this been allowed to happen. Scandalously run club

I'm just glad some of you lot aren't in control.

You'd walk away from the stadium?!

For a couple of mil debt and running costs?

They'd shut the top tiers.

 

Keoghs still pay rent for the offices so that's covered.

 

Presume the hotel wll be sold.

 

The police/steward bill would be down as there will be fuck all there.

 

I can see the ground being sold and rented back to us Coventry style.

 

Concerts and NFL coming to the macron. Fact.

I'm not saying I would, I'm just putting it out there  -  I don't know if it's a possibility or not. 

Moving from the ground is getting into Narnia territory

 

We've got a few years of pain ahead, that's all. The debt is small, it's the running costs that are scary.

 

It'll take a while, but by 2019, our next Bruce Rioch will be in charge and we'll be back gunning up the leagues

The team have been generally crap this season (you get what you pay for), but if you were a player at BWFC now would you risk a hamstring or go into a full-blooded tackle, knowing you could be looking for a club in January?  The fact that they are playing without pay is commendable but could any of us, hand on heart, say we would risk our livelihood by sustaining a bad injury?

 

Points won't matter after the 12-point deduction.   Imagine what Max Clayton must be thinking.   And does Zach Clough's 4-year deal have any relevance when the phoenix rises from the ashes?

 

There was a mass exit from Portsmouth.  The first team squad is generally crap, but now it seems that many of us will get our wish and see more of the kids playing (unless of course the best of these lads get scooped up by Bury or Wigan).

 

Believe it or not I am a die-hard, long-standing Bolton fan, but I am also realist. The manager looks like he could be gone too.

 

I am sure many of you will see a bright side to all of this - fresh start, etc.

 

Your ray of sunshine

 

Henry

I reckon stuff will end up alreet...

 

So what if we go down?

 

We just need to stop signing players on stupid contracts and spend whatever we have coming in.

 

There will be people who lose their jobs, that was always gonna happen after relegation from the premier league and parachute payments stop.

 

A re-assesment of the club is needed by someone who has an idea of running a business.

Hearts went into admin, got rid of all playing staff and played the kids, went down then built a new team and got promotion that season and are now challenging Celtic for the league, they now also have £3m in the bank and are building a new main stand JSL

4 teams in the premiership that have been in admin in the last 12 years or so

Good example, Southampton would be another.

It is possible.
