Thank fuck

Nixon saying staff have been told a sale is 'imminent'

Has it not been imminent for the last 2 court dates as well, if not more?

Thinly veiled 'it's all the protestors fault'

Ed got plenty of stick.

And he put loads of money in. Still doing so up to his dying day.

A top bloke, philanthropist the lot.

As opposed to the Kunt.

Re the latest Chairmans rants

Those of a nervous disposition shouldn't read it, its all our fault etc etc...

When he mentions Ed Davies not being welcome, I don't recall any of us being particularly angry towards him - in fact he was always ready for a chat when he was seen at games. So its a bit rich of the deluded idiot to keep dragging ED in as justification for not even being bothered about the club.

Correct so I would call it bollocks

Before ED stopped funding the club - did he receive abuse? Because I don't remember that. I remember general sympathy for him that he's shoved over £100M in and we'd little to show for it. 

 

 

Plenty had him down for syphoning off millions to be fair

More balanced view on here at the time of I recall but plenty stick elsewhere

One decided to stop funding after propping up £180m

the other because he received nasty words on the internet and funded £1.5m which he has taken back plus some 

every word that cunt spews gets me even more annoyed. He wants fucking shooting

Yes plenty on here and elsewhere explained how he was lining his own pockets by the interest he was charging.

The people wanted Sam sacked.

They do not go to many games these for a a whole string of reasons.

A few cranks. You get that everywhere. I don't recall widespread anger/moaning directed at ED directly - until of course he turned the taps off....

He's a spoilt brat, taken his ball home because he was shitter than his mates. 

Kunt.

Some things don't change, including that fucking tank top!

But basically what he's saying, like someone has stated above, "Its not my fault and everybody else has an agenda against him"

From a hotel perspective I remember Ken telling us he had re-nogatiated the terms with Heathcote and the hotel was doing well. Seems to contradict himself a lot, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, it may turn out to be reet, it may not. No Fucker knows apart from Nixon & Jim

Aye Ken has told us numerous times how he has improved deals only to slag those deal of in the next couple of months.

Telling staff a sale is imminent is a good way to keep them there as long as possible.

Kens notes are always a bit narcissistic, but that one has extremely troubling undertones.

No buyer even alluded to.

Hope I’m very wrong, but this is a bit doom-laden if you ask me.

Nah, another adjournment

adjournment has been granted until May 8 in the Bolton Whites Hotel winding-up hearing at the High Court - iles

Nixon saying this is to "soften the blow" when Bassini is paraded round the ground wearing a BWFC scarf....

We'll see.

Ken is not a nice chap, he is also one of the three secured creditors. The silence from the other two is deafening. Surely they can't let the club go under.

20% of turnover from catering seems about right to me 

The most popular item will be a pint at say £4 

the duty is say £0.80, the club then gets its 20% another £0.64 which leaves circa £2.60 for heathcoat

I’m not 100% sire what a barrel of beer costs but believe your looking at about £1.50 a pint? Leaves heatcoates just over £1 to pay all the kiosk staff and try to turn a profit 

It doesn’t quite feel like the ‘bad deal’ that Ken has made it out to be for me, just feels like another excercise in passing the book 

We certainly won’t be rolling in extra money if / when heathcoat is removed 

 

It doesn't sound good does it. Think he was right about funding clubs outside the premiership. Without speaking ill of those no longer with us I can't get my head around business people allowing the club to incur the millions of pounds of debt when quite clearly it couldn't survive outside the prem. I get the issue of trying to get promotion but there should always be a plan B.

Heathcote had stopped food hadn't they?

But ale was still flowing- is it through a different lot?

He also needs to improve his clobber, Fucker never mentions that 😀

He'll favour Claude Greengrass soon.

 plan B was gartsides premier league 2

I want Anderson out ASAP but if it’s for Bassini without any money meaning we have another 3-4 years like the last then just wrap the club up and we can all move on. 

He seemed very angry, even his beloved parky got a bit of stick. Hopefully someone has gone behind his back and screwed him over 🤞

Maybe I'm in a minority, but I don't find the latest statement offensive. He confirms the club's loss making and can't pay it's way.  He doesn't have to fund it.  We need a buyer or bust.

I've said loads of times on this thread that the numbers don't stack up, all clubs lose money need a benefactor to prop them up,  but lots of people don't seem to want to accept it.  There is no plan B for football clubs that drop out of the premier league.
