Re: January 2022 Transfer Thread

I doubt there'd be anything for Rob Holding. I understand that KA did agree a sell-on clause but later negotiated an additional fee from Arsenal in lieu. A case of 'needs must' at the time. So you're saying that the information in that BN article is incorrect then? Sorry I hadn't read that article....

Re: What are you reading tonight?

You were right about Mark and Ian Goslin, Bruce. They are Bob Goslin's sons and grandsons of Harry Goslin. Here's Bob's obituary in the Bolton News. https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/3626999.former-police-chief-dies-after-illness/ No mention of Bob's part in averting a disaster at Hillsborough in...

Re: What are you reading tonight?

My brother came up the other day and loaned me his library book, "Wartime Wanderers", the fascinating story of how the whole team of Bolton players were marched down to the local Army recruitment office by team captain Harry Goslin as soon as World War II was declared in September 1939. They all se...

Re: What are you reading tonight?

I often receive books as chrissy prezzies. Sadly none this year so I've ordered both of Dr Peter Duffy's books, Whistle in the Wind and Smoke and Mirrors. I don't know Peter but I know a few people who do. He was hounded out of the NHS for blowing the whistle on malpractice. It seems to happen to qu...

Re: Who do you believe?

Now we know that it was a 'ruthless businessman' that trickled another £92million into BWFC after he'd departed the Board of Burnden Leisure and another £7.5m after he'd 'sold' all his shares, we need someone to explain the difference between a steaming pile of horseshit and a Rhodedendron 'Daviesii...

As for a Professor of Economics thinking that Marc Iles is a ' go-to football financial analyst ', words fail me, they really really do. P.S. At least viewings of the Sharon interview have now passed 5,000. Lets be grateful for some sm...

Re: Who do you believe?

The reason ED got nowhere near the Sunday Times Rich List after 2008, Bruce, is quite simply BWFC. The Times had him down as being worth £100m in 2007 and £98m in 2008 but you have to remember that these figures are ESTIMATES based on information that might easily be 12 months or more out of date.

Do you like talking to yourself ?

I don't think that anyone else is interested in your posts on this thread.
With all due respect, I don't post for the attention of those that 'don't think' but for those that do think.
I'm sorry if that upsets you.

Lest I forget, Eddie Davies never did appear on the Sunday Times Rich list again after 2008 and you don't need to be a professor of anything to figure out why.

Re: Who do you believe?

Having read a few more of Professor Andrew Lee's tweets I am unconvinced that he fits the mould of the dotty professor. The levels of dottiness and eccentricity that I have in mind usually take years of refinement and he seems to be too young for that. Nope there's something else going on there and ...
