Site Supporter Steejay Posted March 30, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2020 None of us know what the plan will be to finish the season. However, we're going down anyway, so I wouldn't retain any of the senior players that we don't plan to have next season. Let them go on 30th June, or whatever it is, save the wages & play the youngsters again. Who cares if we get battered, it's a shitshow of a season anyhow, whatever reason.

We're going to need to help keep the club alive. I’m not sure it’s worrying. I’d be more worried if they hadn’t come to this decision. I bet Ken would of loved furlough, I bet he wouldn’t of passed it on. Unlucky ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky ken More the statement itself with them saying this is the hardest thing they've had to navigate and the warning of job losses. We're arguably in a more vulnerable position in many ways - we will need a complete squad rebuild before next season as we have about 4 signed on for a critical season. And if we limp through it could be a very rough ride. Not surprising and we will absolutely not be alone in this. As a business I'd hope we've enough scale and scope to survive. On the pitch....it looks a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New owners who aren't here to bankroll. Large staff. Large running and operating costs relatively. No squad for next season. Its not a great position. In the plus corner our owners will do what they can and are professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members burnden Posted March 30, 2020 Members Share Posted March 30, 2020 Dear Season Ticket Holder, We are contacting you in relation to the final season ticket Direct Debit payment. We have received a number of enquiries over the past week and therefore wanted to contact you as soon as possible with regards to your final instalment. The Club is awaiting guidance from the EFL in relation to the recommencement of the football season and we hope to be able to clarify this position further in due course. Therefore, in the circumstances, the Direct Debit payment, due on Wednesday 1st April 2020, will be collected as scheduled. The Club appreciates that this is a very difficult and uncertain time for us all during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we wanted to thank you for your support and patience during these unprecedented times. Rest assured that we are doing all we can to safeguard the Club so that we can emerge from this crisis and rise again. If you would like to contact the Club regarding your payment, then please do so by email to ticketsales@bwfc.co.uk. The Club is operating on reduced staff and we therefore ask that you bear with us regarding a response. Please stay safe and we hope that you and your families are well. Yours sincerely, Bolton Wanderers, Ticket Office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference that is suggesting a club is seconds from ruling type of thing. We could lose our historical pyramid over this. I’m not one for the football family but I even felt gutted for Bury when they went bump. I think it would be extremely pedantic to be grilling what percentage occurred before and after the virus. It may be time to give amnesty to get the house in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know of clubs who were being reported as being "very close" to going the same way. So if they'd actually gone the same way a few weeks ago they'd be getting their -12 and whatever other punishments the EFL hand out. Now they can blame the whole shebang on Corona the folk involved in mismanaging the clubs get to walk away unpunished? Doesn't sit right somehow.

In reality the 'football family' didn't give a shit about us when we were struggling to put out a team at the beginning of the season and many clubs/ fans would have seen Bury as one less relegation places to worry about. We had the points deducted and transfer embargo applied for a crook owner so if clubs cant get through this without administration then fuck them.

Macc and Southend are struggling but don’t know if any others who were weeks a way from admin. Clubs have £0 revenue coming in. It’s a unique scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked clubs being arsed about us as it meant we mean something to many and I’d of been more upset if teams/fans rallied round for us. If Macc went in admin I’d struggle to raise an emotion. Like I said above each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
