Thank fuck

With all the money that is in football and that Bolton are a famous old club. The FA should find the funds to get preserve Bolton and put the club in a holding trust until a suitable buyer can be found much like the government did during the banking crisis. This is an extreme situation that requires extreme measures.

Sadly the FA have no obligation to save any club let alone one that’s been run as badly as Anderson has run Bolton.

Nice sentiment but  I don't think they care.

Evostick league a better option ?

Don’t think we will drop to that level, fully expect local consortium to buy us in admin and try to run the club in a proper fashion. I’ll be 100% behind a local group, with a sensible business plan.

Fanciful whimsy mate.

maybe in the amateur days of the 20’s & 30’s But not now.

i still don’t think it’ll come to that anyway. A points deduction and a few years bumming around the lower leagues is most likely.

Me too, so long as certain characters are kept out of the way

Don't be shocked if the sensible business plan sees the ground sold

I do hope you are right that would be a cracking out come - if bassini gets his deal done he won’t last 6 months.

im still convinced bassini is in cahoots with Anderson to get us to 8th May and liquidation. This is getting very very very murky for me now.

LSV is readily accessible for me.

For me that’s not sensible plan, if we have to rent it back. Unless you mean sold, developed and we play elsewhere.

Talk of the stadium value being 15 million

Just saying

I’d rather watch us in Leigh than at the Uni Bol under bassini

its just so insane that he can be this close to buying the club given what we know and what we’ve seen. Every sinew in my body says it just can’t be right he can’t have the money no one would back him ..... so it must be a smoke screen must be

If we didn’t own it I’d only consider having the council as a owner. 

It doesn't matter what you would consider, unless you've got a few million
