out of interest what is the going rate for a club owner

 

One of his better statements that, no obvious bullshit and two bits of positive actual news.

Does Lee Anderson have a season ticket?

A lot less than 525k, think he’s close to the top of owners pay and that includes premier league.

If you think that’s unprofessional and juvenile don’t read the analysis of Blackpool, West Ham, Manchester United, Newcastle or Crystal Palace.

Nobody has.

If he's paid himself the same again or less, i have no issue with that.

Do you work for fuck all?

If you run your own business and lose money yes you should work for fuck all otherwise you go bust.

Quite rightly he takes a big wedge whilst failing to pay wages and not fulfilling contracts.  A bit naughty when you are trading insolvently.

Suppose that’s the perks of owning your own club/company. Pay yourself what you want when you want 

On the West Brom protest he states it "can only bring negative publicity to the club". A bit rich of him to say I would suggest. 

I know it's been said before but Gartside paid himself around that amount didhe deserve that for job he did? Don't think previous chairmen were paid that much?

I think Gartside originally didn’t get paid except for the last few years and that was because he was supposedly working virtually full time for BWFC.

Gartside had his own business though and I'm betting Ken would say he is full time putting out fires

Hi all; been a long time voyeur on the site and a few things I've seen have made me pants twitch.  But as a Wanderer for over 50 years;  reading a lot of the stuff on this thread and in the general press has prompted me to sign up and comment.  For all you Ken haters, you won't like it. I suggest you tighten sphincters and bite hard on your leather tethers. For all his sweaty Ken persona, his dodgy dealings, his half truths, his late submission of accounts and general misgivings, without him there would be no Bolton Wanderers. He maybe a shyster, but he's our shyster. The man who saved our club when no other fkcer would come close to us. He is our Ken wrong 'un and we should be behind him and the players next monday when we play WBA. And if, against all odds, we do survive in this division, he'll be lauded as just a naughty boy and the best fkcn businessman in football. (Or not. We wait to see). He's our Ken Wrong Un, so lets get behind him and the club.  Oh and that Keith Andrews can fuck right off.

Well said fella and welcome. Your views are exactly where i'm at. Yes we all know our current owner is a plate spinner and is dragging our good name through the mud, but the way i see it is if we didn't have sweaty Ken we'd be fucked, we'd have gone bust 18 months ago. If Ken decides he's had enough and bails, we'll be gone within 2 months.

Evening Kenneth

It would make a good chant for the cameras & sky on Mon. To the tune of 'here we go, here we go'.....Etc 

Ken wrong 'un

Ken wrong 'un

Ken wrong 'un..............Etc

But add on the end ...and Andrews can fuck right off!

Bet the mikes would be muted in no time.....................

Err no it wouldn't sound good - sorry

Anything negative just sounds biz imo.

Get behind what we've got ffs.

Looks like Ken’s ‘source’ (why did he put that in inverted commas?) was wrong about the Baronesses.

Maybe his source wanted him to look foolish or maybe he was just telling lies.

Whatever, the whole thing gets more bizarre by the day.

God it has been a long week.

Where's the legal position on this though.

If, and it's a big if, a company owner doesn't pay his employees what he contractually should, then gives himself a large wedge, is that legal?

Forget the morals, there must be a legal position that stops owners basically getting a company, taking money out of it and not paying wages/bonuses.

As for the morals, each to their own, but I'd like my club owner to behave in a way more becoming of a long standing, well respected team that we are.

Nat will be turning in his grave.
