He has a look of confused, disdainful pity when I talk about going to matches regularly, like "why would you do that?"

I've a feeling the game is more of a TV show to him. Fair play, will be for me too soon the way we're going.

Funnily enough just had a do with him now. "Maybe you can go help fill up Emptihad or come watch united with me innit"

Told in no uncertain terms not only do any other teams mean nothing to me I actually hate virtually everyone.

"I know man, look how much debt we're in cos of the Glazers look what they've done to us as well"

"You broke the world record transfer fee the other year, our staff have been using food banks. It's night and day."

"Suppose yeah. Oldham always looking for fans bro maybe you can go there"

I give up.

Don’t waste your breath mate.

I expected Anderson to pay the wages for the players whom he signed contracts with.

I expected Anderson to pay suppliers for whom the club, whilst he was in charge,  agreed contracts with

 

HTH

In which case, Ziggy,  you are as big a fool as Iles of the Beeno. The contracts were with the club or the hotel and the obligations of the club or hotel, not those of Ken Anderson or his family. So were the loans and other undertakings of the hotel and club.

Ken Anderson may be many things but he is not the fool he would have been had he taken on all that lot without the protection of the limited liability status owners and directors of the club have had since 1895.

I'm usually at the stage of just saying yeah it's pretty bad isn't it.

Irksome.

After all the rumours of everyone else it could be, it’s bound to be FV that eventually get us.

I'm still of the mind nothing will be done before the 2nd September court hearing (unless Bassini withdraws/does a deal of some sort, prior to it).

 

More than happy to be proved wrong though.

Of course, just annoying that if FV get the whole thing, they could’ve been cracking on with it since the club administrators announced the preferred bidder. Yet the hotel has been holding out for someone with more cash for ages and it’s just held everything up and pushed everyone to the limit.

Give it a fucking rest eh 

‘somebody’s moral expectations of someone are very different to the legal obligations you know that and I know that. So why don’t you lay off patronising folk Chris and keep this beeno chat to another forum or chats with your mates. 

Folk are suffering cos the club they love is dying and between you and your patronising and fanny5 and his bleating his incorrect opinions almost rhythmically it’s getting on folks nerves. Some folk have no idea about legal obligations either. You  do  as do I  but ask me to change a plug I’ve no idea  doesn’t give anyone the right to patronise me a treat me like an idiot  

rant over but please just wind your neck in

I wonder if Sharron's business plan is the same as Michael's. It doesn't look like Deano's (lets have some cash out pronto) plan  was the same as Kenneth's when they took over.

The thing that gets me about Anderson is that everybody and their dog could see that the club was losing money hand over fist - except him apparently. It doesn't take a genius to work out that if you continue to lose money year on year the only possible outcome is bankruptcy. Sure he made some minor cutbacks, sold our better young players and spent half his life begging us to buy more shirts but where was the business plan to bring the club to sustainability?

Bottom line - he didn't have one.

Add to that the rumours that he passed the opportunity to sell us on to wealthier owners two years ago because they wouldn't give him the golden handshake and to me he comes across as a self-serving egotistical incompetent who I wouldn't trust to run a bath let alone a football club.

The rumours of the potential sale may be disputable but the failure to get off the tracks when we could all see the train coming from miles away is not.

Not Really.

I expect the person responsible for signing off a contract to ensure that the contract can be paid, before signing.

I expect someone who has given their personal word that something will be paid, to be paid. (As he did to the players, multiple times).

I dont expect a chairman to openly lie to his employees, promising them payment, whilst knowing he the company is unable to, and has no intention of paying it.

I obviously expect more of people than you do, but expectations usually reflect the self.

Have a good day.

 

Rubber dingy rapids, bro.

Eh???

There might not have been anyone wanting to buy the club but you wanted him to do a moonlight and walk off anyway - even though he as a Director would still be personally financially responsible for its legal running?

How does that work then?

Like a few on here I'm getting more pessimistic now about this whole saga and how it's going to end.

If we ever do get taken over whoever does it will have to fund a Club in League 2 with massive outgoings so I hope they've got the wonga to fund those losses.

They say it's darkest before the dawn....well it's getting pretty dark.

Only time this I bloody hope Nixon’s reporting is right! Wouldn’t surprise me though if Bassini tries another nob head move

Trust me blood he ain't my mate

I must say I’m very impressed that as Nixon puts it FV still swinging, they are dogged for sure and seem to still want BWFC and that means a lot to me, if they get it I’ll back them 100% as long as they don’t sell the Crown Jewels to fund it.

It works by having a business plan wherein income is increased and expenditure is reduced until you have a sustainable business that washes it's face. Or selling to someone who can.

As opposed to sitting on your hands for three years whilst the walls crumble around you.

...and set up Boltonnuts to give himself a platform to pontificate and lecture people to his heart's content and ban people who he fell out with. Me for instance, allegedly for asking if his mental health was OK and thereby being abusive whereas the reality was that he couldn't understand the difference between speculation and stating something as fact and had a tendency to extrapolate and conflate to suit his pontification. As per the little exchange above:

Me: Anderson failed to do anything about the ongoing losses so he should have either sold out or put a plan in place.

Stuffy: You are saying that Anderson should have just walked away without selling on or putting a plan in place.

It really is difficult to get any sense out of someone who claims you are saying the opposite of what you're saying.
