Question about a fan takeover

Re: Question about a fan takeover
But there's a new TV deal! For the first time in about 2 years. This will surely be the one that results in clubs turning profits rather than transfer fees going up and up again.

That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.

Ha. Yes. Wages won't go up and instead agents will be pleased clubs can make a profit or reduce ticket prices.....Prufrock wrote:But there's a new TV deal! For the first time in about 2 years.

I agree with most of what you say, but we're in our fourth season in the championship and will be fortunate to see a fifth.SmokinFrazier wrote:we're an established Premier League team

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

I'll know it's all a figment of my imagination &/or early onset dementia when I see Diouff getting a mention.

that BN article claims:
The Bolton News understands that Sports Shield’s bid – which was formally submitted yesterday – is self-funded by its two directors, Holdsworth and Michael Collins.
we've all been busily assuming Deano is the no-money fixer... but it seems he's one of only 2 cash-splurgers... (if the BN's source is to be believed.. etc...)
and - stelios - back at Bolton??? what's not to like? he could be player-CEO!

Re: Question about a fan takeover
If that sports shield Twitter that Iles is referencing is legit, then we all should be incredibly worried that such an outfit might end up running our club.thebish wrote:bobo the clown wrote:The half-time food would improve ... if be a little lukewarm.officer_dibble wrote:A greek takeover!

^^ which, to be fair Insane, is more or less your permanent state so should suit you admirably.

Re: Question about a fan takeover
Aside from signing Ched Evans, how could things possibly get worse? Taking a punt with someone else's 20 million with a chance of pulling in ten times that, is a decent punt in anyone's book.

Re: Question about a fan takeover
Some cursory searches on Sports Shield this morning except for the amateur-looking Twitter account.
1) Company set up in July 2015. Deano is majority shareholder and only director on the Company check websites. No sign of this Michael Collins.
2) Their website is snazzy but nothing else - two golf days and an application form for a commercial mortgage.

Re: Question about a fan takeover
I agree. This doesn't look like financial saviors, more like chancers overstretching themselves. If it's self-funded, where's a it coming from?BWFC_Insane wrote: If that sports shield Twitter that Iles is referencing is legit, then we all should be incredibly worried that such an outfit might end up running our club.
Seriously worried.
If there was no chance of administration under ED, there's plenty with this lot.

either way... we're minted!
