Howard, is it possible Kenyon is involved with your ‘mystery bidder’ ? Seen him a lot mentioned recently. 

Or is that a completely separate party?

No, separate.

You’re seriously claiming that the only reason folk weren’t paid was because KA didn’t feel wanted? 

If I were you I’d stay silent. Bob.

"Obviously, I am concerned, disappointed and deeply regret that I had to take the decision to delay paying the staff salaries on time last month, which is the first time this has happened during my ownership and apologise unreservedly to all the staff and sincerely thank them for their continued support and patience, but it is difficult to accept putting a further £1m into a club that does not want you there and worse still it is not safe to even go to the club."

 

From the man himself. Maybe you should be the one staying silent?

Don't you think that was an excuse rather than a reason?

Jules, you were right. They're drifting from Twitter in their thousands...

Which part of “only reason” don’t you understand?

Even so; do you honestly believe that he didn’t pay them because he felt unloved?

Come on, who brought the m0ng magnet back out of Brixton’s lock up? Jesus Wept

It's literally there in his own words. At least people elsewhere can think for themselves rather than giving Ken a reach around any chance they get. 

He wrote it. Nobody else. Whether or not that's the genuine reason doesn't really matter. He put it out publicly that he DECIDED to delay them, it's not a question of whether I believe it or not, or whether he can afford it or not, it's what he put out for people to believe. 

Even so, it's not like this is the first thing he's done wrong. I don't really understand all the defending him here tbh. You get your retards on the other sites but fuck me, people acting like Ken Anderson is a saviour when he's running the club like it's in admin anyway.

Majority of people live pay cheque to pay cheque though. That's the sad reality of it. 

It's not like it was delayed by a day or two due to an error. He CHOSE to not pay them for however long it was (can't remember exactly, but think it was around 10 days). That isn't setting up direct debits to come out on payday. That's causing people to default on payments and potentially fucking them over for years due to waiting almost 2 weeks for their wage. 

The bottom line is that he caused an unnecessary amount of stress and problems for people because he didn't feel 'wanted'. He also probably knew all along that he'd take it as far as he could, past the court dates to try and get the best deal for himself, so there isn't really any excuse to delay paying his employees. 

FFS, this is why you're being called out - do you not understand???

If we turn the lights out & keep quiet for a bit maybe the new infestation of twitterati might return to their natural habitat.

you missed  the "putting in" bit, which tells you the club didn't have the money

Nobody said he’s a saviour. This is the problem; you call folk out for throwing anything at KA and all of a sudden you want to be lucky Pierre with him and his son.

I’d actually say that this is the only place online I’ve seen where folk ARE thinking for themselves and not just following Iles/Bonnar/McGinaly without question.

Your comment on thinking for ourselves is fucking ironic seeing as your actual point is that Ken said something so it must be true. Don’t you get that?

Love all the folk that say “Ken’s a liar, man speaks with forked tongue”.....then he states something that could go against him: “look at what the bastard said. Must be true cos he admitted it”

Fuck sake!

@Howardroark this Mr Monk on twitter who seems to work for the club is his information reliable ?

I just said I don't believe him and it's not a question of that. The man talks nothing but shite - If you look to the news yesterday about takeover I said instantly that it's convenient timing and another excuse to not pay wages. 

The thinking for yourself comment was probably a bit misplaced, but I've tried reading through the full thread a few times now to pick up anything I've missed and the majority seem to think that Anderson is doing a good job or did a good job saving us. He's running the club like it's in admin regardless and he's delaying the sale to better a pay off for him, no matter the consequences for others. 

And I don't come from FB or Twitter or anywhere really. I check Twitter for latest news and then heard of this place, I don't actively visit any though.

I didn't miss it, but I assumed that's what he always does because it's what he's mentioned in the past.

He puts money in and takes it back as soon as it's available, which is fine, but not at the cost of not paying your bills and risking the club we all support.  

Another day, 

catches up on the thread 

another 5 pages of the same shit and another 10 weirdos

Is someone struggling with the difference between KA and BWFC?

 

Ken has been struggling with that for a while if you believe Howard.

He could've paid the staff, because the staff were paid. The money was there all along.

Nobody forced him to get involved and he'll be the one making millions when he sells up. If he has to fund the club through his own brinkmanship, tough shit.

Looking across all Wanderers forums most of their members are glued to WW and Howard's posts.

Just because the money was found, doesn’t mean it was there. Do you know where it’s from?

Certainly not from BWFC income eh.

It’s not his brinksmanship that made us skint is it, seeing as we were way way before him.

Just to interject here, it has been alleged that KA found the funds from the EFL money he had paid in to a non-club bank account.

Hotel related so couldn’t verify, just a note to the hotel staff, walking out and closing the hotel saves more money than it earns.

So it'd be doing Ken a favour?

Why is the hotel losing money - is it because of the inflated council tax bill?

I'm sure that it was supposed to be making money a few years ago - or am I wrong?

I could be wrong, but hasn't he always done that and been fairly open about it?

He's always blamed cash flow issues rather than not having the cash and has said in the past he puts it in to withdraw it when available.

Would not paying the wages be different to this? Not sure if it's being implied that he's basically skint or he's just at the point where he won't put any more of his own money in.
