Thank fuck

Maybe I’m missing something but we aren’t actually going to find out today, are we? EFL board meeting at 5 will go on for a few hours you’d expect and even then we’ll only get served the 14 days, won’t we? Or is the 14 days notice going to essentially be 24 hours notice for the administrators to start shutting everything down?

Just seen the piece on SSN, nearly fucking crying here

Can't spell because of the tears in my eyes

it’s him not being pursued personally for when things ultimately come out of the woodwork. This is the bit FV won’t agree to.

Wouldnt surprise me if he wants the security on the loan removing too though hence KG being involved.

2 clauses handles by 2 legal teams. Unrelated.

Deffo wants the second.

Iles has been the full-time reporter on BWFC for ten years and if he can't be bothered to read or can't understand a chairman's report expressed in clear words its not nearly good enough imo. He fouled his pitch and spouted shite but I hadn't noticed him being fed it.

Give it a rest with your personal vendetta against Iles, he’s spouted no more shite than most people on here, if you don’t believe him or trust him don’t read him

Admin begin closing down the business tomorrow, it’s either done today or that’s it.

Did Iles nick your penny-farthing or summat? Not today eh pal, let it go for a bit

Guys today isn't the day to be bickering between us

I know that was the implication, but I’d be surprised if plays out so black and white.

Takeover needs to be either done, or fully agreed and just waiting on signatures. 

If neither of these are done then we need £500k in the bank or admin will shut us down.

I've no personal vendetta against Iles. I read him alright but I don't trust him because I believe him to be inherently prejudiced and corrosive.

At the AGM in May 2018, Iles was presented with information on how much Holdsworth had cost the club when it needed every penny. He acknowledged it but would never report it. Some might wonder if there was an agenda that would not be best served if he reported or inquired into those facts.

There is no money so it is sadly black and white.

If we get liquidated, whose the first in the queue to get paid from the proceeds of the sale of any assets? Administrators?

Yes and you can be sure they'll take there 400 quid an hour time over the process.

Just imagine how it must feel as a long standing BWFC employee going back to the Burnden days having spent all weekend listening to the carcass of your life work being picked over and then going into work this morning knowing it could be your last, all with mortgages and bills to pay etc.

Spent the last week around the pool with one. Some of the shit these employees have been through is heartbreaking.

Let’s hope we don’t have to find out.

Why have they decided to get involved now?

Bolton. So let the two dogs fight it out over the bone. There will be a winner. Matter of when. It’s actually a healthy situation to have competition like this. Chill.

Can’t see how anyone putting a offer in with 24hours to go could get it through in time think it will be  FV or nothing 

Fat lady; having a lie in?

Nice to know we are still taking up room in your head. And have been for such a long time.
