  • I saw the truth from the beginning ffs  KA’s job was to balance the books and spin plates till investment came. He’s done that with success so far. It just can’t carry on, we don’t have a Gary Ma

If I’m honest, I couldn’t really give a shit about the finances of BWFC. We know we are skint, we don’t really to know just how skint or who has been taking tuppence out.

Until we get taken over/get investment, this will always be the case. I care more about results than anything else to do with the club

The only people that care are the people that want to find fault.

Bit like when our peg goes my through my phone. You can read what you want to read.

Does the rust really have 3,000 members?

Just received an email rom them;

 These are very practical measures that the Trust has taken to help safeguard the future of our club should the worst scenario unfold, but with just over 3000 members accounting for around 20-25% of our average home gate, it could be argued that it is not a representative mouthpiece for Bolton’s supporters and so used to justify limited engagement with the club.

 

They've no idea about how many of their members are actually attending games.

More bullshit from the misTrust

A good move. Setting himself up as there isn't much to say

His notes are normally his programme notes so no doubt you’ll see them next week.

I recall Iles saying something along the lines of the club (KA) has deliberately taken a mood of quiet contemplation over the break.

Suppose he's said all he can about crowds and tickets and it does seem like he reads what's said on Twitter, where people have complained he chats on too much, so maybe thinking right fuck ya'll.

I reckon he hates us the fans that much for not turning out in numbers that keeping PP is his way of saying "fuck you then"

Saturday afternoon 14.51.

Ken goes into Pink Floyd mode .

" Is there anybody out there ? "

Sound of Silence!!! , 11 thousand season ticket holders totally pissed off.

Grow some balls you slimy cunt

Ken is talked out 

he can’t come out and defend that neither can he pap on about tickets deals and attendances

he wants out and nothing seems to be moving in terms of a sale so from his point he’s done

This

Ken Anderson - great business man and that is proven.

Great owner though? Time to make a decision me thinks: 

Sometimes the right decision is not always the easiest, as he got the balls, never mind the money..

Yep - its how I see it. Can't see him spending any of his money to fix the short term given he wants out. So we'll just carry on until Ken finds a buyer/investor. 

I'm not kens biggest fan but are we working on the basis that he's had enough off not doing his statement klaxon? Or has something else been mentioned?

Ive said before but my worry with KA is that he wins in a few different scenarios i.e. Admin etc. That has to be a concern. If it is simply down to finances and he wants rid of PP then we are gone. It has all the hallmarks of lennons last few months.

I don't think anyone means "Ken's not bothered". I think more that he's unlikely to incur extra cost at this stage because most assume he expected an investor or buyer to be seriously down  the line by now. Ken never had a long game for running us - he admitted that and cost reductions presumably have gone about as far as they can. We'll make a loss covered by player sales and that will be the way now until something drastic changes. Given we're already likely to lose 3M (and will need sales to cover it) sacking a management team and replacing them only adds to that impending problem. With no guarantees either. I think IF a takeover looked likely Ken might bite the bullet to try and haul us over the line and preserve the value of his asset. But as it seems all quiet on that front.....he's unlikely to want to spend his own money at this stage.
