It actually sounds like a not unreasonable answer to a tough question.

 

If someone came along and wanted us to play in red, rename us Bolton United and act as feeder club/ stroke reserve to United but was loaded would that be OK

?

It's where you draw the line, red shirts wouldn't bother me feeder club to anyone would and so would renaming us United, the 2 latter would finish me off for good. The question to Izza was really a poison chalice.

granted there are things id not be comfortable with

 

so long as the name was bolton, the club was independent of other clubs and the ground remained local id be reet with it

 

getting hung up over the colour of shirts?

 

nah, not for me

 

and im not the one suggesting KA shows us his money or fcuks off

The questions about BWSA were the ones he got into a flap about and went a bit Dianne Abbott.

It was linked to Izza or the interviewer raising Cardiff as a possible scenario

 

And Hull

 

Ie is it all about money

I get it but again you've named the only 2 incidents I can remember. It's still a pointless question in my opinion.

Anyway who we sell to will have nowt to do with Lizza

I realise it wasn't you. ????

Sounds a bit like Liz McDonald.

Wonder if he would also make me a full english after a one night stand

Weve worn white for god knows how many years. You should never sell your soul

 

 

Statement from the Supporters trust.

 

Following our meeting with the club last Wednesday, the issue of the removal of the asset of community value (ACV) listing has been made public by the club. We have resolved to take various opinions from Bolton Council and Supporters Direct. Once we have received the input requested we will revert to members further at that point. 

 

 

Anyone who can't see the massive agenda of the Trust must be blind. Izza the worst possible person to be involved at all let alone Chairman.

 

We should do everything in our power to ensure this lot are discredited.

To be fair they are doing to pretty good job of it themselves. Shit Cliff Morris.

I'll play what's this massive agenda?

Regarding the AVC & the threat of a third party sale as the Coventry scenario , hasn't Eddie Davies left 15 million of debt in the club so as to thwart or at least derail any such a move ?

 

If so the AVC is surely irrelevant ?

 

This is a question not a comment.

I'm not sure you'll get too much of a response to that.

 

I'm not their biggest fan, and really don't know what the point of them is, but I don't think they're intelligent enough to have a real agenda

Have a word with them. They don't believe in clubs being run as businesses. They don't believe in rich owners. They see clubs as some sort of pseudo public sector organisations. Run by the fans. On a shoestring. They aren't interested in success. They just want 'decision by fan committee'.

 

Will be a disaster. They should be looking to support Ken in what he's trying to do. But they never ever will. Or any other rich private owner.

I am sorry that is utter rubbish and no idea how you come to these conclusions in fact it beggars belief.

Ask Izza for his views on sponsorship, for a start.

 

Ask Mike Smith why he described the Supporters Trust as a revolution that would change the way the club was run. Certainly liked to use revolution in the political sense rather than any other meaning.

 

These people have an agenda. Shame you cannot see it.

I'm still waiting for this supposed agenda.

To continually try and discredit the Owners, stir loads of shit and get nuggets from all over Twitter and FB to pay money and sign up for some kind of revolution to overthrow the regime when in reality nobody has a pot to piss in?

As far as I can tell Ken has hidden from nothing.

He's said from day 1 that things will be tough and that the finances won't make pretty reading.

Then he's had all the shit Holdsworth and Blumarble have thrown the clubs way.

 

He's been saying for months that until the clusterfuck that is the DH and Blumarble situation is sorted the club will be scraping by.

 

If the ST went after them rather than Ken they might get some support from me.

Good point on Holdsworth. Maybe the trust should arrenpr to arrange to meet with Holdsworth.

I'm not sure where the Trust have continually tried to discredit KA can you show me where? How do you know that these nuggets on twitter are speaking on behalf of the Trust, trying to get info from KA to share with the fans is part of the Trusts responsibility as is trying to safeguard the club and its assets for the fans. We have all seen what can happen to clubs if owners are allowed to do as they please if they are not held to account.

 

It's a very unpopular job but in my view it is extremely important that some fans are prepared to take the flak to help protect the club they support.

 

I will end by saying I'm 100% behind KA in his attempts to sort the club out and take it forward however not without having the checks and balances of the Trust casting an eye over what he is doing.
