Quantuma revealed that last week this isn’t new news nobody has ever said there is only one hotel bidder as far as I’m aware there is one party that rubins are speaking to for the club which is FV.

Yeah I just looked this up. The hotel admins confirmed 2 bids. "Following the marketing process seven offers were received. A due diligence process of the bidding parties’ proof of funds and a credibility assessment of the prospective purchasers suitability were undertaken and the legal advisors to two parties are now reviewing the Sale and Purchase Agreements sent to them for consideration." https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/17845283.takeover-bolton-whites-hotel-administrators-say-sale-delayed/ It seems that the club deal is going to push the hotel deal though and FV will get it that way. Rather than the other way round which Nixon is suggesting. Can't see why the hotel admin would pick the other bidder if everything else is sorted for the club side.

Sticking point allegedly Anderson trying to get the deal to include "indemnity from future civil action". Sorry if that's already been mentioned, a lot to wade through... I wonder why Anderson wants indemnity against any future civil action? Custard and Sluffy seem to think hes done nothing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 2 minutes ago, Spider said: I meant the club. I assumed everyone knew the hotel was a separate deal after 1,080 pages? Everyone does know that but everyone also knows whoever is taking over the club probably needs the hotel too. So does this second hotel bidder want the club or not? That seems to be the sticking point with Nixon’s version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is disputed is that Nixon seems to refute claims that FV had agreed a deal for the hotel. Mr Appleton explicitly said that a deal was agree for both entities. And it has been agreed. Well it had what casino stated about press release FV at game etc was spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion is, and has been throughout this process, that Alan Nixon has been fed information from a rival party with the sole purpose of dismantling confidence in the bid of FV. I am cautiously optimistic with what some of you are saying on here in that things are moving in the right direction. Would be brilliant for this to be sorted today once and for all Edited August 27, 2019 by Matthew1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custard and Sluffy seem to think hes done nothing wrong. He borrowed money personally. His usage of said money maybe wasn’t entirely for the purpose it was lent for and didn’t amount to the exact amount he borrowed thus the purpose of that loan is now being questioned and a taking off the piss has riled some people. So it’s a civil case. Outside of bwfc now or future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop reading bollocks on twitter and face facts. Administrators cannot trade a business that can’t pay its staff. Unless someone puts money in tomorrow is it. Holy shit. Irony overload here. Did the Coventry game that absolutely was never going to happen go ahead in the end? Where does it say that the administrators are legally compelled to liquidate us on Wednesday 28th August?

Wanderlust Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 1 hour ago, TM Trotter said: 'Sails close to the wind' has been one consistent description of Anderson while he has been here, and it may ring true in his final act. Your final sentence is very interesting. Is there some kind of red flag with Companies House/other relevant bodies regarding such an action? When someone sells a business with a stipulation for immunity (for want of a better word), surely this must ring alarm bells. And yes, while this person is innocent until proven guilty, this action alone must surely be a mark against them the next time they try to take over a company? If you've nothing to hide, why would you impose this? Is there actually a legal mechanism to stop Anderson taking over A.N.Other financially struggling business (football or non-football), running the business in an, ahem, questionable manner for personal gain, and hiding it all through a legal clause during a sale through administration? Anderson served his time - 9 years banned from holding a directorship - so I guess from the perspective of the Courts - and thereby the EFL when the FPP test was applied, he had paid for his crimes. Only if a new crime is uncovered and he is convicted again will there be any grounds for preventing him getting involved in other UK businesses as far as I can tell.

Wanderlust Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 37 minutes ago, Chris Custodiet said: On the other hand, chucking malicious or unfounded rumours about on t'internet is summat else. I heard that one Blackpool fan had to pay a heavy price for thinking that was his right. Reporting a rumour you have heard isn't a crime. And by definition, a rumour is something that you have heard from another source. Similarly speculating about potential scenarios isn't a crime providing it's identified as speculation - although a lot of Sluffy's diatribe is criminal IMO Writing something malicious that you have made up and presenting it as fact however may be libellous. So what did the Blackpool fan write? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
