But they've been "Really helpful" according to Iles....what a load of self appreciative balls from the whole fucking lot of them.

Huddersfield got promoted with a wage bill of £22 million, which was 15th highest in championship. Pay for the report. You can read all this stuff. I'm not making it up. Footballers wages are bankrupting the clubs.

Ffs even Bury have 3 players on £6,000 a week. That's from a previous FD there. 

Even Blackpool were losing £100k per week just before receivership.

Fleetwood are tiny and hemorrhage money, only offset by AP’s other income.

The games fucked and is going to implode.   

That Kieron McGuire fella gives some great info on twatter. Chesterfield, Peterborough etc etc all losing big big money. 

Just got back, two things 

Jack Deardon is a tosser

NOBODY in attendance who could  have any influence on our future .

Oh & Less of the coffin dodgers jibes otherwise you might get a straightener outside the club shop.

Speeches for christ sake just what we fuckin need !!

Dearden is a gobshite but he's harmless. That podcast of his is fucking woeful, mind, for a group of professional broadcasters

What the hell is that Rigby fella going on about with him having read "We could go into admin and it would only cost £750k to keep the club running"....unless you know for certain, then keep your gob shut and dont make shit up as you go along.

I don't doubt that you're being truthful. I was pointing out that KA ultimately is responsible for the level of wages.

So much for living within our means.

I know it applies to others, but we were given a fanfare of financial prudence and criticisms of the previous regime by the current one.

I certainly don't see any reasons to be spaffing thanks in his direction.

It's getting fruity

Quote

The fan points out that the trust didn't back the supporters' protest. Criticises the lack of communication, says people don't see them as Bolton fans.

Probably needed an airing of views like this, but probably needed it a long time ago.

Aye not before time. 

They're getting defensive

Quote

 

Mike Smith: "We couldn't back a protest. 

Fan is getting a bit heated.

Maggie Tetlow: "We couldn't as an official body back something that we had on control over."

 

 

So according to this trust goon there were loads of wealthy groups wanting to buy from ED but he refused them all....to sell to DH for £1. Yet now there is nobody at all wanting to buy us with suitable funds.

I believe the latter. The former just is the same nonsense we’ve heard repeated for years. And doesn’t make sense. Also the claim admin solves everything is equally laughable. 

The ST owning any part of this football club would be as bad if not worse than Ken Anderson staying on.

Given the wage bill for playing staff only is £600K then he’s talking rubbish...

Unfortunately if KA decides to respond to this meeting (100% he'll be watching) then that comment alone will gain the full force of his attention, nothing else.

I’m not there but think that is being misread. Think it’s the trust suggesting that there is no evidence of wrongdoing so people should be careful with accusations unless they have that evidence....

Username says it all 

All this talk of what Derby spend, West Brom etc 

Largely irrelevant 

signing players that have inflated our wage bill beyond what we can afford is irresponsible and if it puts a final nail in our coffin then it’s on Ken 

Dont commit to spending more than you have coming in unless your willing to put your own money in (like other owners)

Would our squad be that much worse than it is now? Can’t get much fucking worse surely 

Wasting wages on players your manager doesn’t fancy isn’t a great bit of business either 

Which ever way you cut the cake it’s rank bad ownership from Ken, sure he will find a way of blaming someone else though

Appreciate that you are new but it has been through a zillion times on here.

Eddie - the poster on here, not the late benefactor, went through years of accounts and got it to about £150 million if you exclude rolled up interest. 

Fair enough. As you say I'm new here and don't wish to derail the thread any more than has happened already. I based my comment on a couple of conversations I've had with people who know more than I do but I've not been through the accounts and respect anyone that's put the leg work in sufficient to leave it at that.
