Saw him in the spread eagle on a Wednesday night with the whole squad, they were all arseholed. Funnily enough we lost on the Saturday. I thought there were signs before he got canned that he was starting to get somewhere with the change of style, but the crowd had started to turn and that was that. In retrospect he maybe tried to change too much too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sluffy Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 27 minutes ago, Mantra said: I shall put this as simply as I can: Regardless of those being the most important things to remember, it doesn't mean that there haven't been plenty of other figures and statements thrown around - which makes it confusing. As I said - Howard mentioned Bassini offering 2 million to delay the share recall. He also said this wasn't enough to persuade his men, but 12 million would be. Those are the figures he quoted for the compensation package. 2 million and 12 million. At no point can I recall Howard saying that they'd accept 8 million, feel free to prove me wrong. Your 8 million figure relates to how much that debt was initially worth, which in my mind was separate figure to the 2 million and 12 million Howard mentioned. Now, can we move on from this because this is possibly the most tedious conversation on the whole forum and I don't wish to bore everyone. Now that I've gone to the trouble of explaining the £8m share ownership debt amount, and the 14 day notice period, that you revisit my posts which you found so difficult to understand earlier today and re-read them. You will see I quite clearly talk about the £8m share debt being redeemed in full OR a payment made in consideration of deferring the 14 day notice. There is no ambiguity at all about it. It certainly isn't my fault that you seemed to have completely failed to understand the whole structure of Howards narrative, despite his many constant explanations of it over the weeks he was here.

I asked where the 8 million figure came from. That is a one sentence answer, you could've just said "8 million being the value of the moonshift debt." Not sure why you are determined to continue this discussion. You answered me. I've said thanks. What more do you want? A written apology? Because you're not getting one. It's your choice to write a mini-essay for something that requires a short answer, it is therefore my choice to not re-read your posts for the sake of justifying your points. I do not block or ignore people online as I find it petty, but should you seek another response on this topic, you will not get one from me.

leadfrog1 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Looking at Howards bid (details bottom of 392) we should get behind that, it's the only bid we've seen with people that have a proven track record and the money to back it up. Remembering that we have basically no say in the matter. Whilst being deeply skeptical of the Bassini bid, for multiple reasons, we should give him a chance, should his purchase go through. Whatever owner we end up with it's clear there's alot of work to do, especially given we've only got 8 players signed up to play next season atm.

As for the others they had time in charge but achieved absolutely nothing. I deliberately didn't mention Phillips but Sammy Lee had enough time for the board to see he wasn't up to the job.

barrycowdrill Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 If anyone still thinks Howard’s mob stand any remote chance of getting in they want their heads testing they are not arsed. That’s why she’s fucked off. If the acquisition was sooo attractive they had ample opportunity to bomb Bassini and his mystical money out of the water. Yet it got to the point where she was talking about them receiving money to back away yes £2m is a lot of money in our cotton mill world. But ‘their’ world of deep pockets, bankrolling a football club to promotion etc it’s absolutely fuck all I’m not saying they weren’t interested but they didn’t want to do the hard yards to get us. I said the other day, unless their names above the door, everything else is just bollocks And where are they now? Our witted by Ken & ran for the hills.

Chris Custodiet Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 If it hadn't been for Howard, how many of us would have had any inkling of the extent to which Ken Anderson seems to have put his family's financial wellbeing at risk in keeping BWFC afloat whilst the hunt for a more lasting solution to the club's financial diffficulties continued? Is that what Howard intended, whilst weaving his little web? Probably not. Will he be bothered? Probably not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
