Re: Spotty's Seriously Sub-standard Second Rate Transfer Thr
I think Clough's worth to us is greater than what his actual market value would be, if that makes sense. To us not only is he our greatest/only goal threat, selling him would be devastating for morale and he'd be impossible to replace (not least because we wouldn't replace him). I think the jury is...

Re: Bedsheets, Pitchforks and colours nailed etc.
Reid was looking to move as we looked unlikely to be an established top division club. Arsenal offered us £660k, Wolves offered £600k but better wages. They'd not long sold Steve Daley for £1m (wtf !!) & the Arse were in their George Graham 1-0 days so not quite the attraction they became. Reid fan...

Re: Bedsheets, Pitchforks and colours nailed etc.
None of this would've happened if we'd given a contract to Alan Ball. And not let Peter Reid go to Everton for a paltry 60k.. :crazy: Just to show ca plus change. Lady luck shakes her arse at us . Hot player property, lots of teams waving £s; not sure if it was just the press or Reidy himself (or b...

Re: The Debt.
All sounds familiar from Reading - days from admin, dodgy bidders I can imagine EDs reflections on BWFC ownership and funding might be pretty similar

Re: The Debt.
Nobody goes around not selling a club because the potential buyers aren't going to invest in a business... that's plain nonsense. Sellers don't sell because buyers can't afford it. Therefore either Eddie is after a price more substantial than the £1 Kevin Davies quoted or the debts are more substan...

Re: A happy No Non Sense new year! - Huddersfield (H) 02/01/
Prince's confidence has gone. Completely. I'd suggest his head has too. what does the phrase "his head has gone" actually mean? He's lost his cool and continually panics. Doesn't think clearly on the pitch. He still has the pace and makes some great recovery challenges. Trouble is he has to because...

Re: The Debt.
It could all be perfectly legal and entirely reasonable due diligence. But that doesn't make for good chitchat in the stands and bars. I wouldn't have thought we'd be appointing people to sell assets if we were in due diligence with anyone. why not - could form part of deal with preferred bidder (f...

Re: Bedsheets, Pitchforks and colours nailed etc.
I would argue that Lennon and BWFC had a considerably better squad than Birmingham,he let Kellett and Davies go and signed Madine and Dervite? Very astute! GUILTY on signing Madine. NOT GUILTY on signing Dervite. (although he does pick him to play from time to time). On paper, letting Davies go and...

Re: A happy No Non Sense new year! - Huddersfield (H) 02/01/
But certainly I don't see him being better than anyone else we've got in midfield which shows that he probably isn't the wunderkind he was being billed as. And I don't see him as being any worse than anyone else we've got in midfield, a midfield which includes players costing, or valued at millions...

Perhaps we should have gone down the ebay route.

Re: A happy No Non Sense new year! - Huddersfield (H) 02/01/
after a bit of sunlight from the blackburn game and a fantastic opening 20-25 mins when we should have been a couple of goals to the good, the gloom and stench of relegation once again descends. We looked like two different sides. First 25 mins sharp, high energy and pressing, the remainder they ret...

Re: The Debt.
assuming the firing gun for the sales/ leases only started when TB appeared, the speed has been phenomenally /unbelievably quick and it makes me wonder whether they are in principle to one /all of of the interested parties. Whilst we may indeed be simply doing a fire sale type measure on our part, f...

Re: The Debt.
I honestly think we are screwed and the thought crossed my mind, probably totally wrong but could someone not be buying up fire sale assets fairly cheaply, wait until the very last minute then appear as some part of the consortium taking over when in theory there is bugger all left for the creditor...

Re: The Debt.
I don't buy this bullocks about the training ground! You really think we can't compete for a prem place anytime soon because of a training ground! It'll be because we're shit! The training ground hasn't contributed to anything good for the last 6 years! We can't compete because we have been badly r...

Re: The Debt.
As Lostock is a Category One academy we must spend £2.5m per year on it so I'm going to assume everything needed for the first team to be there as well? If possible it's surely worth considering that they can merge two sites into one considering the cost savings We downgraded it to a Category Two t...

Re: The Debt.
Let's all be honest about this. Selling off assets is going to aid survival. However, it will mean that we are never able to return to the top table. I suspect we are going to be rattling around the bottom 2 divisions for many years IF we survive. I still maintain that it is most likely that we wil...

Re: Sports Shield Investments Ltd
Why should Warburtons invest? I don't get it. They are a Bolton business but I don't see any reason why that obligates them to chuck hundreds of millions away trying to support the football club. Normal business sense and football business sense dont go together. There are 1001 reasons why normally...
