(Even if they build a statue of you) Good luck to his son Worked with a bloke once, he was my boss, he was a nice fella and very capable. For eighteen months or so, he started making daft decisions and doing strange things, colleagues couldn't understand what was going on and grew intolerant of it. Until he was diagnosed with a brain tumour, three months later he died. This is a true story, does this sound familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnywhite Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It is news and the newspaper is just doing its job the debt was restructured during the lock down and there paying it back monthly to creditors I don’t see it as criticism just letting people know the facts . Anderson didn’t want anything to do with paper because he didn’t want anyone knowing what he was up to FV seem to be happy to answer the questions stops people guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Aldo Raine Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) It sounds quite reassuring to me. It was clear that we hadn't yet paid off the outstanding secured creditors as the charges were still registered on Companies House, but it was also clear that repayment plans had been agreed. This latest statement, issued after a request for comment from a national media organisation, just reinstates the current position and confirmed that the agreed plans and deadlines are still on course to be met.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 31, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2020 All seems fine to me. Factual reporting, no edge nor opinion. FV seem to have a handle on everything which is reassuring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to pay the tenner back in 2 years time. If I don’t pay it back to hit me with a penalty a year later so ONE full year before I’m due to repay you as agreed would you expect the local newspaper to run a story on it? Yes or no? also another twist. Do your mortgage company advise the paper each month that you owe them a payment that month and what the penalty is if you don’t pay it? No didn’t think so.

Why ask in the first place? That’s my point. Why ask and why print a story on it? Nothing has happened.

Marc505 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Think its come out as a result of something The Athletic have released this morning which has angered a few Bolton fans for the tone of the tweet that announced it. I cant read the article in full though as I'm not a subscriber. *edit Edited August 31, 2020 by Marc505 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one fail swoop they show the club theyve got their back and are supportive. if the club had made a statement in response to an article would it not be on the website?

masi 51 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 These should have been paid first before any football creditors. If you only receive 35 % of your money you should not have to wait two years to get it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex_midlandwhite Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Strikes me the BN saw that the Athletic had researched and put out a well written story and they thought we better get a headline and quickly cobbled together story so that it looks like we're in touch.

LeggyMountbatten Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Not the first time that Matt Slater and The Athletic have put out negative articles about FV. There’s definitely an agenda there. Wouldn’t surprise me if Bassini was feeding them info. The article is full of errors like the Coventry draw being the high point of FV’s ownership when the takeover hadn’t even gone through when the game was played. The rest of the article is an unnamed source said this or an unnamed source said that. Not very convincing.
