They haven’t said they don’t have the money can someone show me where that’s been said? 
 

what’s been said is they are not yet in a position to pay them as they are still agreeing the figure which they hope to do this year. Admin is a complex business and there will be costs and claims in there that fv will be disputing and rightly so. This isn’t unusual. 
 

 

Quite. They (fv) have kept their counsel. It's others putting out rumours and suggestions.

I've no concerns about their ability to pay the bills. Not their desire to put us on a sustainable footing.

    A Derby winner still in training over fences at the age of 42, ridden by an 85yo amateur jockey who’s yet to ride under rules? I just don’t see it.

Doesn't stop cunty reporters putting 2 and 2 together, and getting 5.

Wish they'd do some proper work, rather than making stuff up.

Have people forgotten how the takeover was partly  funded? And that the money they put in iirc was via loan notes and is repayable I’m 30months as such any club owner would be prudent to be looking forward and taking that into account 

plus we never believed well I didn’t that there was pots of cash available so I’m not sure what anyone’s getting uptight about. 
 

folk need to chill the fuck out and let them do what they are doing.  They’ve done a wonderful job so far so why don’t we just let them get on with it instead of the hysteria starting again 

They're getting uptight because they're concerned that we might be about to fall back into financial difficulties. Those concerns might well be misplaced but it's not a surprise that people are particular sensitive about it given what we've experienced in recent years.

People want drama in their lives. They crave us in the news. 
 

if I don’t understand something I try and find someone who does to help me understand. I don’t launch full scale panic without getting the facts or as close to facts as I can. 
 

people who get uptight about shit like this should stop reading the press and come off social media as it’s only going to end in people wetting the bed

To be fair, the "this year" referred to in the statement meant 2019, not 2020. 

People read that and then read that it's still not settled and they're going to start panicking. But then I suppose that's one of the reasons FV are so reticent to comment on these things publicly.

I hope we're challenging as much of the £660,000 fee owed to the "football consultant" anyway.

That will be harder to challenge than the administrator. It depends whether the consultant is classed as a football creditor or not. But we will only find out if it turns nasty anyway. 
 

I maybe have too much faith in the current owners but I believe if we had some issues due unexpected cos or something then they would release some form of a statement as I believe they are very mindful of what we have already been through in the last few years. Let’s hope I’m right anyway 

I can’t see such experienced and successful business people buying the club without having the funds in place to run the club, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they were looking for investors to take us forward or a even a potential buyer to sell the club too and make a quick if not big profit. Time will tell. 

We're in good hands.

If FV had come in promising Premier League and UEFA cup within x years I'd be concerned.

They never said they had millions to pour into BWFC,  and further investment was always going to be the main priority.They have done everything they said they would, and Kenyons involvement just goes to prove it.

Sleep easy lads, lasses and others.

In Aunty Sharon we trust.

If Kenyon came along and said we've got an American consortium interested in buying the club I think FV would do a quick flip and move it on for a quick profit.

Yeh maybe, but i'd like to think they'd try and make sure we were in good hands though.

Hope so, I do think they will sell it on in the next 12 months.

You need to get this idea they make be looking for a quick profit right out of your head

Sharron brittan is comfortably wealthy

She doesn't need to own a football club

But, she wants to

This ain't a cash cow for her, it's a life experience

Exactly

If some loon wanted to must 500 million in

Other than that, everything SB says is that it's her dream and she wants to show folk there's other ways to run football clubs

I agree, reckon Sharon wants to be in for a while at least. I suppose having a Bolton fan alongside helps too.

A silly offer may turn heads I suppose, but it's hard to see why that would happen. Perhaps if there's an upturn once embargo has gone.

2 things...

1. the story emanated from the Daily fucking Mail

2. the word speculation.

Maybe so, but if someone came in with good money she’d sell, I have absolutely no doubt about that and it wouldn’t take a fraction of that amount just a 2/3 million more than she spent on the club and she’d be off.

Disagree completely. From the way she talks and the things they're looking to implement, this is a long term project.

She's not some loon like Bassini

I don’t think talk of investment in our club is healthy, we can’t spend it on players or wages so what is there to get excited about?  Sharon said they have a three year plan, I can understand getting investment then, but what is the point now?   I’m not a business man and never will be, but I’d of thought whilst under a embargo we are limited to what can be spent.
