Gonk Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 The last update from the BN was June 22 when they changed the name to Bolton Stadium Hotel in readiness for joining the Radisson Individuals later in the year. It had been delayed previously, my guess is it will still happen, but is probably taking a bit longer to do the refurbish before launching. https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/20230823.bolton-wanderers-announce-bolton-whites-hotel-will-receive-new-name-part-rebrand/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn the business side around to show a profit . Then it’s ripe for a takeover. Debt free club with good facilities and big fan base should look more promising than when Eddie and Ken sold prior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've come from virtual oblivion in the blink of an eye, whilst in a pandemic, to be on the virge of a second promotion. No reason that the same process can't continue to achieve positive outcomes. I agree wholly, that Sharon staying on should allow that, but if new owners want to wang in some dosh and maybe reach the promised land in their time frame, then there may be a conflict of interest.

Dr. Feelgood Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 The next level, whilst far from beyond us, is quite a step up. Wages are, in relative terms waaay higher. A bunch of clubs playing with parachute money. Lots of recently ex-Premiership players. That doesn't come cheap and whilst Sharon is wealthy she's not utterly loaded. She said, in one of her interviews, that if we went up we'd need new investors. She'salso said that she'd not sell to people she didn'ttrust. I suspect she has people in mind.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 16, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2023 She may be building a group of investors already with that in mind. As we are discussing elsewhere, extra money is no guarantee, and may just add extra pressure. We've got a decent manager who has said himself that he enjoys working within a sustainable model. Wouldn't bother me at all if we were in the championship for a few years making gradual, but honest progression. Still creates wealth.
