Not wanting to piss all over your enthusiasm, but it was pretty clear that last Saturday could well be our last home game.

4,700 turned out to see it.

Literally had no idea that we're due to play Bradford at home in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday. Despite the competition, it could well be one to turn out for, one way or another.

And also points out caution given the characters involved. 

The deal has been done multiple times. Only for someone to change their demands last minute. Until its done and announced there is a risk with this one.

It's not up to the average fan to fund people much richer (and who stand to make much more from all of this) while they play a game of chicken.

If what we're led to believe is true (and I still think there must be more to it) EDT are either prepared to write off £7.5m or they aren't. Ken is either prepared to stop being a cunt or he isn't.

That's the impasse we're told. Give them a week, a month, a year and that's still the decision that needs to be made. No benefit in dragging it out.

My worry with the well meaning suggestion of raising additional money to get this over the line is that a certain rotund perspiring character would simply add that sum onto his his ransom demand, sorry I mean memorandum.

We could do with a couple of home games this week so 25,000 people could donate £20, that would be a good start at least. I feel timing isn't on our side, no income for 4 weeks unless they sell STs which won't happen.

Last Saturday really was the last chance to prove the club could be saved.

Now, which millionaire should I just hand my money over to? Ken Anderson or Michael James?  Or maybe neither. Plenty of players have been made into millionaires over the past 20 years with money from our accumulated pockets. We chose to hand it over. Perhaps they can choose to hand a bit back. Kevin Davies can be 1st in the queue.

I’ll be gobsmacked if he signs, thought for a long time now he’d prefer liquidation. 

Bolton MPs need to make it clear that should that happen they will press for a full enquiry, they need to be asking the minister responsible for assurances that the authorities will be on the case.

Would that donation of £20 be as well as the entrance fee? Let's face it, no way, even when things are as perilous as they currently are for the club, we're getting 25k on. People don't seem to realise that it's partly the fault of the stay-away thousands who helped to create this situation.

You can't put the blame at any single one of the stay away supporters. No one can blame any supporter who didn't want to pay to watch the shit, can't be arsed, going through the motions football from half of the team last season. even people who had paid for Season Tickets upfront couldn't be arsed to turn up for a lot of games.

The blaming the fans thing is doing my head in. The blame for this situation belongs firmly in the boardroom at BWFC and the questionable decisions taken there over an extended period of time.

What can't be underestimated here is the extreme twatishness of the bloke holding up the deal, he's quite prepared see us go to the wall if he doesn't get his own way.

Whilst I dislike the man with a vengeance for what he's done, do we know this for a fact yet or is it all hearsay and rumour.   He did say (via talksport) that it is not him holding up the deal anymore.

(Although you can read into that he's stated the clause he wants and by the others not accepting it, they are holding up the deal in his eyes)

Of course he is holding up the deal. If what Casino and others have said about everything being agreed on Friday, and then Dickhead's Solicitor suddenly threw in a grenade, it comes back to Tank Top boy. His Solicitor doesn't make additional demands without having his strings pulled by his Paymaster.

When you actually step away from our situation and our eternal blind hope and listen to the radio shows, read the articles etc it’s absolutely frightening 

The impact of a relatively small club like Bury going, obviously the staff. The fans, the community but more than that, English football. Everyone is amazed and shocked this has happened & puts our plight slap bang in to perspective 

Today, probably for the first time during this nightmare I have contemplated life and the impact of not having Bolton wanderers Football Club around. It’s fucking terrifying

Interesting interview with Tory MP Damian Collins (and Chair of the sports committee) on Radio 5 Live at about 10.40 this morning who called for better vetting and  regulation for club owners. He said that the Premier League AND the Conference are better regulated than the EFL in this respect and called for independent regulation. Not a bad idea IMO.

Wasn't Bassini in charge of Watford when they were in the Premier League ? If so, that kind of ruins that debate. I'm sure several other Premier League clubs have also been under the microscope regarding the club owners actions over the last few years.

Not true. It's been known there are 2 interested for hotel. Nixon's claim is that club admins rejected the other bidder because FV are preferred and they want them to complete, so they're trying to get the hotel deal done first. 

Whether it's true or not is for you to decide, but he's not said they're in for the club yet, but they want it if they can get hotel.
