Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 15, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2023 There was something in the BN pages about it. Anyway, fuck him. I don't care if he looks out for our results or not. He treated folk like shit, none of which was necessary, irrespective of how much the club was struggling. His leach of a son did likewise. I also reckon he pressured Eddie to an early grave too. Whatever folk thought of Eddie, he was Bolton through and through and didn't deserve it. Cunts.

Traf Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Ken turned out to be a massive cunt. Serious question, though, what do you think would have happened to our club had Dean Holdsworth not persuaded Anderson to jump in at the very last minute? I don’t recall there being many others trying to save us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give Anderson some credit for pissing off some players/individuals with whom we had unsustainable contracts and screwing Forest and Cardiff over. His last 6/8 months though were appalling and far outstrip the good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 16, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2023 Both right there. Of course there weren't many takers, so despite reservations, we had to give him a chance. He sadly didn't achieve anything other than to sully our name, and virtually get us bankrupt. Cunt.

Traf Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I think there’s some misunderstanding here. I’m not suggesting Ken was right. I just sometimes wonder what might have happened had he not got involved and kicked the cam down the road a few years before others finally came involved.

My point is ED and co are to blame for Ken as the terms laid out were only entertained by tyre kickers. Still doesn’t make what Ken did right though.

Site Supporter desperado Posted September 17, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2023 I think the issue with owners, managers and loyalty is, it’s easier to call in retrospect than it is at the time. Anderson turned out to be an absolute twat, probably the biggest cunt to ever be associated with our great club. 99% of us are not in the know and have little idea what’s going on behind the scenes. At this point you have 2 options. Be positive, back and support the current regime. Or immerse yourself in doom and gloom always looking for the negative angle. With Anderson, plenty on here, including me at first, took the view of Ken against everyone else. Why? Because we wanted bwfc to exist, we wanted bwfc to win games, we wanted our club to compete at the level we were at - there were no alternatives. In retrospect as @Lt. Aldo Raine says we’d have been better off going into Admin earlier. But at the time the ST, the “No-Ken-Doers” and “Az it been doners” didn’t fill me with much hope. Thank God for Sharon and FVs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall there being many others trying to save us. Everyone seems to forget this. Holdsworth bought the club for fuck all. Persuaded Ken to join. Gave himself a 4.5 million quid broker fee or something then fucked off into the distance with a pocket full of cash leaving Ken to deal with all the shit. Ken, although a nob was swindled a bit, had nowhere near enough in the bank to steady the ship with players still on massive contracts and when folk were marching round the stadium calling him a cunt he said "fuck you all, I'm not putting another bean in". Bit like the bloke at Sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
