If its half a million say, it only needs 1000 people with 500 quid sitting around to do this. I would also be up for this. EDIT: I do understand that its a hell of a lot of money, but there MUST be 1000 people who have watched, loved, lived BWFC down the years that can put that money up. It's £7.5m if rumours are to be believed. It's not spare change money unfortunately. Ken's a cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're only talking about the money needed to keep the club going to stop the liquidation threat. In other words to keep the negotiations going to get Ken to "realise" he's not getting that 7.5 million that isn't his anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping Ken might of got worried about threat of liquidation but he really isn’t one bit, I’ve given up all hope Nah, from reading between the lines admin arnt liquidating us today, I think in my limited understanding we have 24-48 hours to resolve this, then something will give and I suspect in our favour. if liquidation was going to start and they wernt hopeful we would have found out last night.

Let's hope so. They always used to say no news is good news, but i'm not sure that relates to Football Clubs about to be killed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breightmet Boy Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 These people who are dealing with this are top professionals, it’s out of our hands, it’s just a question of waiting and we’ve got B.A honours, Masters in this, over qualified.

jules_darby Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Just listening to GMR talking about Bury on the way in. Feels just like the financial crash and aftermath 2008-2010 all over again. Makes me so nauseous. Horrific this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Bury not playing a game this season made the decision a bit easier for EFL compared to us there statement didn’t show much sentiment so I don’t expect much for us after two weeks . Unfortunately I can see admin starting liquidation today which some on here says gives us 7 days to sort it unless a deal was done last night and just needs ratifying what more can they do they have been arguing the toss for weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Devastated to wake up to the news about Bury. Local rivals or not, you just wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Just got to hope that those involved in our takeover take it as enough of a warning to sort out whatever stumbling blocks there are to ensure we don’t go the same way. Either way, it certainly won’t be a 14 day wait. Step one is MJ making sure there’s enough money in the pot to cover payday or the administrators would then have the grounds to declare us insolvent and start the closing down process.

I don't think he's bluffing about liquidation in general, but claiming to start breaking down the business at 9am sharp I think is a possible bluff. Doesn't make any sense to do that if they're as close as it seems to sorting it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it won't be started, it probably will if it takes x amount of time to be completed. Just think if they really are on the verge of doing it and FV are ready to instantly put in funds it's a waste of time. Then again, could be the push everyone needs to get it over the line.

Burndens Bogs Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Like someone said earlier (Danny G i think) i think KA has had this planned along - wait till the deal is very nearly done then reveal that he wants ED trust to write off the £7.5m loan debt and assurances that they won’t take legal action to chase him for it at a later date. In my opinion KA is preventing this takeover from happening and if he doesn’t get his way, he’ll be quite happy to see BWFC liquidated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
