Fuck off. Pro Anderson anti Anderson who gives a fuck. Its behind us. The truth is a spectrum and no one has the holier than thou right because we are all just small town folk tied to our pride and joy and backing what we think was best for our situation at any given point in time.

Good job on following your post through 1 above😂

Nearly three years on another forum telling folk that I suspect Anderson is only here to screw us over for personal gain, that I  believe he doesn't give a monkey's about BWFC and that all his media output was bullshit and finally....finally I feel OK -ish about it. Unfortunately it's tainted with sadness. Sadness that the bastard has got away with it and that the ED Trust had no choice but capitulate in order to save "Eddie's legacy" (their view?)  rather than be liquidated by Anderson. But more than anything I am relieved that we survived Anderson albeit a lot poorer - and we still don't know how much more money he took out of the business in the last two years. And angry. There is no way that people like Anderson and Dale should be let anywhere near a football club. Over the moon that we survived but this should never happen to any club and something's gotta change.

As for the new owners we'll see  but I'm hopeful they'll do a good job with what is left of our club.

 

Three cheers

Loving Sluffy's defence of Anderson on Boltonnuts. This is a particularly moving post that conveniently omits to mention that he has just gone through a negotiation that effectively stops him having to repay the money he "borrowed" or get sued for non-repayment - and that he was prepared to see BWFC liquidated if he didn't walk away with £7.5 million of ED Trust's money on top of whatever he paid himself in the last two years.

Quote

Dear God people are still in denial.

What is hard to understand?

Anderson BORROWED £7.5m as a bridging loan.

He signed a CONTRACT to repay the money to the lender.

That made it HIS money.


Yes he borrowed it from Eddie but he could equally have borrowed it from the bank, Quick Quid, BluMarble, etc, etc, etc.

EDT came after him for the money - just like the bank would or QQ, etc.

Why would they do that if it wasn't Anderson's money they were after?

Why didn't Eddie just put it in the club directly along with the other £200m he wrote off, if he wasn't LOANING it CONTRACTUALLY to Anderson and have him put up his PERSONAL ASSETS as SECURITY.

It certainly WAS Anderson's money that he stood to lose.


How difficult is that to comprehend???

Mate. I’m not sure you are getting it. Let’s have a day off of whoever is right or wrong and just enjoy we all have a club.

OK - I'm pissed off but over it now. Two bottles of vino in celebration of our survival have rendered me angry but I see the error of my ways.

I do get it. Anderson was wrong but now he's gone (insert fuck off Anderson emoji of your choice here)

Mate I’m with you. Couldn’t stand the bloke. Let’s just enjoy for 24 hours. Hammering Anderson would be lovely but that can wait 

Cracked open a bottle of Prosecco at 7.00pm, a bottle of Malbec at 8.30pm, onto the port at 10.00 and just opened a fresh bottle of LBV now. I’ve had enough down days following BWFC to know when to celebrate the great ones. 

Can’t wait for Saturday.

COYWM!

ps, Ken is a sweaty, crabby cunt and his grandkids look like Ben Amos

Can’t smile wide enough!

I'm wankered 

Having a beer 🍺 Up The Whites! 

Finally...after months of my life that I won't get back, this thread is stuttering towards a conclusion.

A happy conclusion at that. We were very close to doing a Bury so let's never forget that.

In the warm glow of relief and satisfaction at the moment.

Reality is we will probably be in the fourth tier next season barring a minor miracle so the rebuilding which must commence immediately needs to have us in optimum shape to come straight back up. Manager appointment will be particularly key now. Hoping for a minor miracle this season but content that we survived and hope that magnificent away support continues and drives the club onwards and upwards.

Who's that climbing up the hill boys.........................?

I'd love us to be able to do something for bury

Have they got any players that need rehoming? 

 

 

Mr Anderson what goes around comes around .

Esco and I have exchanged many messages

He knows his stuff and based on his experiences he couldn't see it happening

Nobody wanted it more than him

I'm sure he will say it's a tribute to rubins and FV that it got over the line

 

Well ladies and gents I’m late to this party and party it is. Just woken up on my bedroom floor covered in puke in Newcastle after a lengthy day out with some clients that turned from checking my phone discreetly all day wondering if I would have a club to support to screaming from the top of my voice when it got announced. Far too many beers shots and whatever else I could get my hands on and the relief is extreme 

I apologise to anyone if I’ve come across as in the same vein and some of the protagonists on here. Wasn’t my motivation to depress folk. Simply adding what I could based on my experience and knowledge. I can now go back into the shadows as I know very little about owt else 😂

as per your comment cas I do feel that if it wasn’t for FV and rubins tenacity and professionalism we wouldn’t have a club. But the fact is we do and every single one of us now needs to get Behind it and let’s rebuild. 

Ken Anderson is officially the biggest cunt I’ve ever come across and I hope and pray he gets his karma multiplied by a million 

I’m even contemplating a weekend in gillingham for my troubles!!!!!

once again apologies if came across as doom and gloom I just wear my heart on my sleeve 

anyway im away to try and save myself a huge hotel cleaning bill and clear up this mess

COYWM

Not far to Gillingham from up there - get yer self down for more beer and more shots

Got a really good feeling about today 

am starting to think we will have 

"Positive steps " in the hunt for a manager 

Possibly "Positive signs " of season tickets going on sale 

Stretching it a bit I know but maybe even a " Major breakthrough " as we look for players 

and if we get really lucky  there may be a   " Significant Development " regarding requests that butter be introduced on hot dogs

It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn

Totally agree

I’m excited about the prospect of ya just giving it a go to stay up. More points to be docked now though?

You'd imagine the trialists would be signed up today so they can be available for selection on Saturday. 

 

What a difference a day makes, from almost going bust to being excited about what FV has on their to do list.
