Hasn’t Beckham ditched Fuller from his business?

Not to my knowledge. They jointly own loads of businesses - fashion, booze, football club etc. Fuller used to manage the Spice Girls and financed Posh's fashion empire but I imagine Becks is the only one she's ever asked to pull out.

Possibly, he also implied he wished he didn't bother with the replies he got. I doubt 442 needed the press.

The only mention of DM I can see is someone asking for clues, which people replied 'is that a hint or asking for a message?' So if there was something else I must have missed it.

That was probably the one I saw when I was skimming through his replies.

Still, doesn't make any sense. He says something to get people excited but offers no insight at all and doesn't want to reveal what he knows, but offers a DM to someone asking for clues. 

At least from what I've read in the last few days, Howard actually gives some information about what he knows/thinks, rather than just saying get excited but I'm not telling you anything. 

as it stands, howie has told me she will post a picture of her busters next week

if any questions are repeated, itll be no busters

so, think on

Busters all the way from me !!!!

 

In respect of today’s scaremongering from Alan Nixon: 

There are no issues with the sale, Ken isn’t holding out for any more from the mystery consortium, his fee has always been the same, don’t forget that come April 2nd he is forced to leave with nothing. What he is doing is trying to find another bidder (I have seen emails to that effect, today).

As to why they are attempting to work with KA over the 14 day notice period as opposed to just waiting it out-  because they really want the club and don’t want to see it go to another bidder who offers KA more money. 

If KA doesn’t go with the mystery consortium then it’s likely his inflated fee will be funded from the pockets of the small creditors who aren’t made whole by a new buyer.

In general aye, though some busters that have appeared in recent time have put me off my dinner. Perhaps Gonzo should be given pre posting appraisal opportunity.

To get more money?

Doesn't seem he's going to get anything extra from the current lot, so I suppose he can chance his arm elsewhere.

His fee has always been the same but he's been trying to sell up for over a year and still no takers.

Surely his fee is way too high then? 

Some breaking news...

An email has been sent to Bolton staff telling them the takeover is expected to be completed within 48 hours and new owner to pay wages on Friday.

Iles has just tweeted it.

Couldn't give you a 100% positive answer, but I know the club released a statement confirming heads of terms were agreed with a buyer last time. And in court last week they also said they'd agreed something with the mystery buyer.

you would hope, but its the hope that kills you

To me the Iles tweet isnt positive. It is a message to the club staff that  they won't be paid their wages on Friday if the takeover hasn't completed by then.

Deja Vu then?

I thought the same thing. Still no name of buyer but it's agreed. When it breaks down in 2 days and it isn't done, he has a reason to not have the wages ready. I hope I'm wrong, but the timing seems too convenient. The 48 hours takes us to Friday, which you'd imagine is payday considering 31st is a Sunday.

What you need to do is cover yourself, so if it does go pearshape you can come back with a "told you so". Sorted

Kinell, cheer up.

It suggests they're getting paid, which is clearer than nothing.

Nixon ( I know) reckons Basran or Kenyon, mystery bidder nowhere near.
