    The guy is a fucking idiot and got what he deserved. In a world where social media plays such a part you can be dismissed from work for gross misconduct ‘liking’ idiotic posts is only going to antagon

  • 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 pr

  • 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

Moonshift moonman

Let's face it Moonshift will only accept immediate  payment on due day, KA cannot fund this, likely that Moonshift will fund Admin and that will be a massive move forward for BWFC!! 

 

You could be right but you are simply just guessing.

We don't have any idea what Moonshift will do.

Particularly because Moonshift (Eddie Davies) was already the main creditor even before the personal loan of £5 million to KA to pay off BluMarble.

I would guess seeing that they have £20 million plus already in the club they would more likely restructure and sell rather than spend an estimated £3 million putting themselves into Administration.

 

To answer an earlier question as to who is behind Moonshift, we don't know.  Moonshift is registered in the Virgin Isles - see link below - and that's about all we know for definite.

We have been told it is one of Eddie's company's used as an investment conduit into the club in the past (I seem to remember reading Gartside saying it gave a credit line of £100 million to the club - via the VI Bank iirc?).

We don't know who owns the company now - presumably the heirs of Mr Davies, nor where the investment in the past came from - presumably Eddies private funds?

It does seem doubtful though that the Davies family have the same interest in the club that Eddie did.

Not sure we'd really want to know where the investment in the past came from. Bit of a stretch that it all came from a bloke reportedly worth £60m.

 

A decent turn out on the demo. I know we have a lot of idiots following us but didn’t expect them all to turn up

Not happy being searched

As per Sky, Ken's spoken to Keith Andrews and whoever is the lead commentator today. Says he's in talks with two potential buyers, one abroad.

I feel a statement coming on.

Yeah my statement radar is beeping away too.

In fact I'd be surprised if his next notes don't focus mainly on the injured steward or their first goal being marginally offside, or if O'Neil's header had gone in early on.

I didn’t protest against Anderson but I couldn’t give a shiny shite if he walks away from the club and never returns, with him at the helm we have lost our soul and completely rudderless. Sad times. 

Saying to my dad there's only 2 ways the club will move on from the current doldrums. We go bump and have to start again living hand to mouth or some bonkers rich bod wants a plaything or a Money pit to throw their money into

I think we know option 1 is favourite.

Surely we’re already living hand to mouth?

I don’t get how it lost it’s way under KA. It’s just not how it was in the premiership. I would like a different owner but the reality is we are a small club being a small club. Folk need to understand we aren’t gonna compete top of champ or prem without a billioanore

I think he’ll sell us to someone who actually doesn’t have any cash and we go bust within months.

His note will be a rum en that day

I just want an owner with a vision for the club they don’t have to invest 10s of millions just want to take the club forward and try to unite the fans to get behind the club and try to share a vision..

They say 4,000 at the protest tonight, any confirmation?

Hope Ken is on the phone to Parkinson right now.

To tell him as of midnight he is on gardening leave.

That David Lee and Jimmy are taking over the first team

More than a quarter of the crowd? Notafuckingchance. 

Think the time has come for Ken to stop aiming for making a buck, make an offer to any interested parties that as long as he gets back what he’s put in he walks away 

yep, we might end up no better off. With buyers who have as little money as he has but it’s too far gone for him now and the anger will just turn on to the next one 

the club is only worth what someone is willing to pay so this perceived £25m valuation is pie in the sky. 

If / when we go down it’ll be worth half that so he stands no chance of making a decent profit. He needs to cut his losses and quick or we’re both stuck with each other

Chief rabble rouser on trotters blog is adamant.

I honestly think if we had gone 442 earlier we would have got something tonight. West Brom were really poor.

I reckon it was about 1500
