To a football club yea - it’s like someone buying Boeing and then saying right I want to make baked goods

In fairness I'm sure a training ground might make for plenty of housing, and car park for a commercial venture.

I don't think it would happen though- maybe they would never get planning permission to do anything else with it.

Perhaps they want to relocate the stadium back to Bolton

When Asda and Sainsbury's merge, they won't need all the buildings- back to Burnden then.

Our fan base. Fuck me. Every fucker wanted KA out. It’s happening 

now it is happening people are now flapping about them either selling the ground from under us or Facebook turning us into the new Man City and if they don’t they’re cunts with motives that should be questioned 

honestly, fuck. My. Arse. What a rabble 

We seem to be in a better position than we were yesterday. Where everyone wanted us to be. Now fucking chill out

Spot on

But it is the hope that kills you and im quietly hopeful because yesterday i was despondent 

Aye. I have no concerns about motives other than to make Bolton great again.

Warbies out might be heard again if Mark doesn't make a go of it. 

Not every fucker wanted KA out so don't claim that for people, what a lot of people want is an owner who has an unlimited amount of funds to spunk on a team in the hope of ending up in the PL.

£27m worth? I get the land thing but I’m sure when business people buy football clubs it’s MO will remain football

I’m pretty sure everyone wanted a chairman who as a bare minimum could run the club with financial stability assured. That clearly isn’t Ken. So by default..

Am I right in thinking the car parks will return to the club ownership?

How much of the infrastructure isn't protected by the Supporters Trust?

None of it is protected, they just get a chance to bid. If some proper cunt came in with good money we would have no ground.

Question was asked, no point hiding from the truthful answer.

So the ACV wasn't put in place to protect any sellable asset being cashed in? I must've misunderstood their reasoning then.

My mistake, forgot our previous chairman ran the club that way.

Nobody will return until PP stops picking the team. If we start getting 10k home fans actually turning up from next season it will feel like a big crowd.

Your a right bundle of joy 

MickyD the ACV doesn't work that way, the people who put it in place have the right to try to buy but no guarantee the sale goes to them.

Well no he didn’t did he but that’s a different conversation.

And where we are today is totally different to that situation 

personally I wasn’t arsed about Ken. Whether he or anyone else was doing it. As long as the club was safeguarded as much as possible. Forgive me for speaking on behalf of the people again but I would assume that’s the case for the majority of supporters? As it became more obvious by the day KA wasn’t able to provide that we wanted someone in who could. No more no less

The acv only covers the ground and doesn't prevent it being sold for housing

So it seems. Got to ask then; what's the point?
