Thank fuck

Howard’s Way, or no way?

This Bahrain connection revealed on April fools day could only happen to BWFC. It can’t happen to us can it?

Not like you to be sceptical Mounts. You’ve thought Shania Twain was going to buy us before now

Wow. Just spent 45 mins catching up on the last 20 odd pages.

Can someone explain how wealthy these Bahrainis will be in terms of a two fingered chocolate covered caramel biscuit?

At Easter, you might receive an Easter Egg with a Toblerone in it, that's about 10cm long.

The bahrainis have a 6-pack of Airport Toblerones.

Bassini's sat at the table with a Freddo and Ken only has a finger of Fudge.

Amazing. 

Next question... How moist do Bahrainis like their sausage in bread?

More likely to be a shawarma, but very moist.

One thing I'm struggling with is that Howard are getting paid to do a job and they have decided that as part of that they are going to control and direct a conversation on a niche forum whose members have little to no influence on the situation, where's the gain ?

I've seen big interests secretly be part of small forums before but there's always been an obvious reason for it, just can't see it in this case.

 

If there really were filthy rich Bahrainis involved or anyone else with real money why don’t they just pay ken the money and buy the club ? All sounding far fetched now or just more chancers knocking about

They don’t want to deal with ken because he’d play game of trying to screw them for every cent, dealing with moonshift who just want 5 million back and they’ll hand shares to them without any strings as moonshift would be acting out ED dying wish to sell to strong owner and save the club.

That's where i'm at, if they really want us then why not just flick another couple of million Andersons way - it would be like you or i giving a penny to a beggar.

Another thing i can't get my head round is that our club could be liquidated on the strength of a lie by KA - "I never received the letter" Bollocks.

It's the principle I suppose.

They could get a similar sized club with similar potential for the same price and wouldn't have to deal with a dickhead owner

Let's continue to call this PR woman Howard for the sake for the whole charade, shall we?

She's in PR and is following instructions to drip feed information to a wider audience. They can't go to the BN or other media due to NDA's etc, so hints are dropped on a forum they know is frequented by thousands including local media and the club.

They've given selective info/dropped hints etc which portrays their group and its bid in the best light and further perpetuates the notion that Ken is screwing us over (which he most likely is, of course)

It's a more intellectual version of the LoV's efforts to rattle the Twittermóngs into a protest.

None of the players in this game give two fucks about BWFC, its fans, players or staff  : they're only in it because they think they can make a quid or two, let's not forget the true motives behind any business acquisition.

As already alluded above, if they've so much money, give Ken what he asks for and then its done. They have had the power to end this before now.

Correct, that's what I did all those years ago and like an owl with a broken neck, I've never looked back since.

24 years ago today we were off to a Cup Final against Liverpool, 24 hours from now we could be in liquidation.

Fancy starting Greeny at full back and leaving Gudni on bench, probably cost us that game. Bruce out 😂

Remember thinking at the time why sign him ? We are ok at the back. 

One of our best ever signings.
