I've no strong opinion on SJM's views about what's going on at the club but he's not saying it for cash, he's saying it because he gives a shit.

For what he did for our club he's feckin entitled to air his opinion when asked.

Or is he saying it because it keeps him relevant?

Think everyone agrees he’s outstayed his welcome 

he’s Indirectly responsible for producing the worst football in living memory. Ie; he’s not got the money to sack the fella directly responsible for that

both him and the manager are responsible in equal terms for the state the club is in. On and off the pitch. I can’t wait personally until they both fuck off 

but ones painted as the devil and the other is getting away Scott free at the moment 

Anderson is as responsible for the football as Parkinson

He's asking for second division football on third division .money

I'm amazed you can't see that

However, that does my been I blame Anderson

If we haven't got the money, we haven't got it

Live within our means was the cry

Fact is, our means aren't up to this league

Why he's saying it?

He's saying it cos iles keeps asking him

Iles is a cunt, McGinlay is a bit thick

Why did he not mention anything whilst we racked up 180million debt then ? 

 

I'm not sure the 180m debt has much relevance to anything given it was mostly written off and isn't the reason why we're in the shit now.

But in any case, whether you agree with what McGinlay says or not is one thing (and there are hundreds of pages on that).

What I'm questioning is how people can't bear to accept that just because he disagrees with you, it doesn't mean that there has to be some other angle on why he's speaking out. He's not saying anything outrageous or that thousands of other Bolton fans aren't, and they all just want whats best for the club.

It is relevant though. The person who lost 180million didn’t pay the bills and we nearly went to the wall. That’s where this all started. 

As said before I don’t mind people having opinions different to mine but find it a bit rich when said person has outstanding bills

Cas, PP is responsible for the signings we make. granted that is dictated by the budget he’s given which is why I said KA is indirectly responsible 

If he hasn’t got the funds his task was to find it. Internally or externally. He hasn’t. 

But every other thing linked with or relating to the squad match day to match day and every other day in between is Parkinson’s remit & therefore his direct responsibility 

KA doesn’t get involved in that part just like PP doesn’t get involved in financing the squad

Good point that Barry. Did well firefighting, but his remit was to get things on an even keel and attract extra investment.

No evidence of that during his tenure; only so long that it can go on until folk get suspicious of his real motives.

Balanced enough view bazzer

Yet again today, we have a keeper who might just've been the third best at Norwich

Prob not, but then he makes a mistake that costs us the game

The better you are, the less mistakes you make

I know me and you dont mind Murphy, but watch his involvement in the first last week

It's schoolboy, and then we don't have the quality to force the game

Anyway, it's Saturday night, I've got some cans and a curry on its way

How many Burnley do you reckon would get into the Spurs team?

 Bang on

Heaton and Tarkowski for Lloris and Foyth without a doubt. Spurs only got 3 at the back which arguably cost them the 2nd goal, lack of bodies. Aurier and Winks no better than McNeil and Westwood. Spurs overrated because Kane, Son and Erikson dig them out and yes they are top quality. Burnley underrated but front 2 win far more battles than they lose and nobody has a better keeper.

Nobody has a better keeper? I will have a quarter of whatever you’ve been sniffing pal. 

I'd have said they have greater strength in depth in that position

What about those games recently that they kept winning when Kane was out and Son wasn’t available 

Looks like things are moving.

Not a drill

Hopefully this happens quickly and PP is sacked!

Don’t get giddy just yet. A long way to go. 

Can I get it on record first, that the new owner(s) are sharks, rogues and greedy bastards.

thanks.

 

who are the new owners?

How long does the due dilligence process take ? Or is that like saying how long is a piece of string

Anyway something had to give so glass half full at the moment

Can take months can take weeks. Suspect it’s already a fair way down the line but also this depends how much ken has allowed by way of information so far. 

You would like to think will be done relatively quickly though as our need for funds is urgent and the potential owners will be aware of this and won’t want the points deduction

The Austrians welcomed Hitler like a new god.
