 I don’t see it that way at all. We’re in the middle of a highly charged situation being fans of a Club that most have followed their entire lives. I don’t think it’s right to disregard the pessimism or challenge of anyone’s viewpoint at this stage whilst we have this existential threat looming.

As for Howard, I don’t really think that posting a couple of obscure documents and calling a few things right necessarily equate to compelling justification for people to lap it all up.

Everyone will be pleased as punch even if some semblance of his story comes to fruition but remember the old adage about things being too good to be true.

 

Exactly, and rightly so as we all know things like this just don’t happen to Bolton Wanderers. I think it’s a case of us all just clinging onto anything positive at the moment

Never mind trying to change the subject at 5 o'clock in the morning, Mounts, I want to know if you've done your homework yet.

This topic is more important to some than Brexit.

Hey Deane, why did you drop the 'R'?

Do folk still want “Howard’s boys” to ride in like shining knights now we’ve seen “it’s” true colours?

Seeing as folk thought he was a decent sort and representative of them 

 

What’ve I missed? Or is it the assumption Howard’s lot will take a pay off to let Bassini in - that’s his true colours?

i see some criticism of Howard as things haven’t gone as he predicted - surely that’s down to a fluid situation with variables like adjournements badly addressed letters etc coming into play?

And has he / she now fucked off?

Badly addressed letters my left fucking bollock!

And yes Micky......this is more important than the Brexit shambles to the faithfull. 😂

Whatever happens in Brexit affects us all along with every other person in the country (and, dare I say it, the rest of Europe and parts of the rest of the world) Whatever happens in BWexit affects just us as Bolton fans (notwithstanding that there are also Bolton fans in the rest of Europe and the rest of the world)

Howard ....

 

This is from a someone that is involved with the Insolvency and Business Restructuring practice of a fairly well known form of Chartered Accountants.

“There is no automatic right of setoff in administration as opposed to liquidation which means that BWFC would still be pursued by the administrator for the 5m debt irrespective of it being owed 13m. Unless it can pay that 5m then it will force BWFC Into administration”

We could still be forced in to administration.

There is a real issue with human nature where we can’t bear to see other people hold more knowledge than ourselves. It probably stems from a poor upbringing, that cotton mill chip on ones shoulder perhaps?

It was this comment that wound a few up - myself included.

Stick to the narrative "PR Man" and we'll all get along just fine. 

At the end, when KA sells to Bassini for millions in profit, Howard will walk off like

When it turns out he's Lee Anderson all along

Unless MJ has a say regarding the car parks being used for match day and has to give his permission the only other thing was that he paid the wages which I can only assume that FVW are back in

In Howard we trust or Howard we don’t trust?

I think we are thinking on similar lines

#NoHowardDo

I think it would be really naive for everyone to dismiss Howard or what he has said. The majority of what he has said has come true. The problem for me the last week or so has been every time he has said something he hasn't painted the full picture which has lead to the many questions from others. He said his buyers could reclaim the shares next week which again got everyone's hopes up, only for a few hours later for him to tell everyone that KA can still liquidate the club. At the minute I feel like a puppet

To be honest I don’t care who is right or wrong I just want this over with

Bassini has provided proof of funds according to Talksport. Interview with him after 10

 

 

The I of the FIBS is on his way back to report to a new boss, @AdamLordNQ. Anyone know what NQ stands for other than not qualified?

I expect he'll also be looking forward to meeting the next BWFC chairman. Maybe they'll get along like a house on fire.

I thought that was the plan, funded by Howard’s bunch?

otherwise someone else either needs to buy, find admin or the club is liquidated

Fuck know how this will end up - but if the end result is that we find ourselves sold like Watford were then happy days. Just need not to implode in the meantime.
