I suspect that Iles has stumbled inadvertently onto something quite interesting.

I suspect otherwise and refer you to Casino’s insightful musings earlier.

So you don't think that Allardyce was miffed at the takeover that reduced the value of his shares to zilch and put control of the club wholly in the hands of a 'ruthless businessman' - Sam's description of Edwin Davies.

If Allardyce had shares and they were devalued by the takeover (that probably saved the club) then yes, I imagine the greedy fat cunt would be perturbed.

I took issue with the suggestion it was interesting.

I see. It is just a small piece of the jigshaw but probably one that most know nowt about. Incidentally I think Iles has got his percentages wrong by a factor of ten but I don't suppose that matters much to anyone disinterested in numbers.

The Anderson out idiots out in force tonight 

After Halloween night on Wednesday, it was numpty night on Thursday. I expect some of them might have had a night off last night. Its usually best to ignore them but spare a thought for the BN's Drowning Rat. He's really upset that ar' Ken wasn't keen on helping a couple of get-fat-quick bankers get fatter quicker at the expense of BWFC.

Edited by Chris Custodiet

Chris, I refuse to sign up BN

The loons who argue admin would be been better than KA, what is their justification for that

Also, if we had chosen admin, what would have happened if ED hadn't written off the debt owed to him

Bet he regrets the 'buck up or your out '

Blog .Hostage to fortune that comment reverted to type now as was always going to be the case.

In it together boys (the cynics can fro)

You are right about the BN. Its a nuthouse and has been for as long as I can recall.

When Anderson and Holdsworth arrived I really did worry about what would happen to BWFC. As the months went by though it became increasingly clear that Anderson was doing all the right things and that Holdsworth was just an expensive liability that Ken would need to shake off at as little cost as possible. It proved to be one of the more difficult tasks Anderson faced but eventually he succeeded, at a cost.

Who knows what turmoil an administration might have visited on the club, but one of the best things KA has done has been to keep many of the club's permanent staff? So  I think Eddie made the right decision. I expect Eddie did too but he couldn't have been certain and it must have concerned him a lot.

Yes. In the full knowledge it will trigger a meltdown, but I suppose he'd say that's not his responsibility

The players have been paid ffs

He’s gone on strike because he’s not been paid.

or he’s just injured like he is every single season the big gangly darkie. 

 

***Disclaimer i am not racist :D **

its a joke about little Whitts use of the word darkie. 

Thanks

That firth cunt is on a boycott since the admin issue.

few are saying the same.

if you can’t be arsed because it’s crap then fair enough. I can’t be arsed most weeks.

but don’t fucking lie and say it’s because you hate the owners.

bunch of fucking spastics 

Firth turned up for less games than Chris taylor

Something so self-righteous about telling everyone you're on a boycott. Who gives a fuck? If you're not going you're not going.

Boycott means less money in the club which means it is less desirable for a potential buyer which means it’s less likely to be sold which means Ken stays around for longer.

 

 Here''s another of Firth's recent efforts to malign Anderson

''This man knows his onions. Give him a follow.

Ian Firth added,

GWB29 @GBower1877
#bwfc has a sole director and he is paid amongst the highest in England, despite the club having recently been on the brink of an insolvency event followed days later by another HMRC petition. This excludes what has been paid to his family. https://twitter.com/KieranMaguire/status/1057541387854454785

Knows his onions does he? He also knows that BluMarble appointed a liquidator of Sports Shield BWFC in 2017 to get their money back and that Anderson needed to find the money to buy them off and prevent 'an insolvency event' and a12-point deduction at the beginning of the 2017/18 season. Last match win against Forest would have been a total irelevance if he hadn't.
 
So where did the money come from? You've got two guesses:
1. Patricia's retirement saver account OR
2. Kenneth's consultancy fee.
 
This lot are trying to make out that the consultancy fee went into Anderson's pocket when they know that it didn't.
Btw whilst Firth was  cosying up to Iles, Holdsworth was getting a bit  too close for Ken''s liking to the Supporters Trust. You might just wonder why the ST and the BN have been coy about the cost to BWFC of Holdsworth's 50p 'investment'.

It must be tiresome for the players. Also how many future signings is it putting off?

I'm not sure that is possible
