Thank fuck

If there that loaded with £££ why don’t they up Ken’s price by a Mill or 2 make him happy 

If this is true, would all this leaking out affect the deal?

Cerberus make investments in may businesses. 

You reference one part of the company- special situations, typically saving thousands of jobs through acquisition of distressed assets. 

 

I also saw a large multi national bank walk away from selling them a portfolio of c500m of non-core debt due to concerns around the actions of them on similar loan books from other lenders 

Furthermore saw a friend of mine go through hell with them when they purchased debt of BoSI which includes his stables and training centre and home. 

But maybe it’s horses for courses no pun intended

So Howard.. tomorrow it’s 50/50 on either.. 

A) KA fails with the injunction and ‘didn’t receive letter’ bullshit and your boys swoop for the shares

B ) He gets an injunction / extension basically wiping out the prospect of taking shares before liquidation giving Bassini more time to complete 

that correct ?

hes said yes to this already

Correct AND at any point in the next 7 days KA can choose to accept their offer. That being said, I don’t think anybody would blame them if they dropped his fee a bit.

I don't think anyone would blame them if they told KA to fuck off,at this point

Put it this way, the circles they mix in, you own a PL team, there’s a somewhat romantic link to Bolton and that is literally the only reason they are involved.

Romantic Link - are you talking Reebok ?

So Howard, what’s the basis for a shift towards outting the potential buyers?

I don’t know that I’ve outed anybody. 

Your deductions are important though, fans should have the full picture.

Yes

@Howardroark how can Bassini still be active if today he failed FPP that would  surely mean your boys get it even if the “letter was sent 7. Days later “ because the EFL would still see that your boys are still in?

Unfortunately delinquencies often throw up a tale or two of suffering.

They aren’t still in if KA holds the power. At present he could tell them he won’t accept their bid under any circumstances, but it would be easier for him if they told him they were walking, hence the public courting of Bassini.

Granted. I just worry that we become ripe for the picking. But guess we are a sitting duck anyway so what’s the worst that could happen. 

 

Thanks for clarifying H

And does your boys have anything to back up Ken’s claims of “ The letter was received 7 days after “ @Howardroark

If your boys get the shares tomorrow will there be a club statement @Howardroark

This thread has now got me on the verge of shitting my pants with anxiety or shitting my pants with excitement.

If we go under or get Bassini when we could've been owned by a company worth 5 BILLION, I might just end my life.

Smoke and mirrors. 

There must have been a change in sentiment to allow you to drop that agreement in here. 

Either that or the file name is a red herring.

Yes

Aren’t they going through Walker Morris , don’t they have things to back your boys up @Howardroark

Well I imagine it was couriered or franked

Howard...for once I have some info for you but you need to delete some messages

I just think we are now that close to it happening tomorrow that a leak of name doesn't really matter.

The deductions or things you point out I believe is Howards way of saying you're getting closer mate.

Royal Football fund appear to broker deals for Dubai billionaires.. like city.

Just now, Howardroark said:

Yes

So is tomorrow D-Day for your time on here and for BWFC then?

Either your rich as fuck bidders get it tomorrow. Or they don't. And you and them greet us with open arms - or you bid us farewell and good luck.

Give us a percentage chance that Ken gets his 7 day extension. I know you don't know the full ins and outs, but judging from what you do know, what are you going with?
