Re: The Debt.

Yeah but is following BWFC websites a bit like watching Father Ted without the humour? 'Didn't Father Jack once have a trial for Liverpool'? said Dougal. 'No, he was once on trial in Liverpool', replied Father Ted In a way that's true enough. There was quite a bit of wit and some wisdom in the Wand...

Re: The Debt.

Trying to be objective about this, I suspect Davies gave plenty of notice that his financial support had reached its limit. The issue appears to be despite knowing this Gartside didn't have a plan to reduce our operating cost to a sustainable level that didn't involve loans. Sounds like Gartside wa...

Re: The Debt.

Personally I blame them for the situation we're in right now. Whose fault do you think it is? :conf: That's not really answering the question I raised is it? But if we are changing the subject should Eddie Davies never have supported the club with his personal fortune OR should he have withdrawn su...

Re: The Debt.

What the fcuk has the chairman, board & owner been doing for the past few years - the whole club is a shambles, they need to be held accountable. Unsuccessfully trying to adhere to the supporters over-egged expectations for too long probably. Right, so if the dad of a family goes over the top and s...

Re: What sort of football club can the town of Bolton suppor

And here is the nub of the issue. People in Bolton want a successful team. Yet they don't want to pay anything towards it. Club is broke. It either relies or handouts from a rich owner or tries to generate more revenue. More revenue probably means prices going up. People talk about wanting us run s...

Re: The Debt.

So you are just aiming to squash any flickers of optimism then ? FWIW my gut feeling is a deal will be done and admin will be avoided. At this moment I'm lets say apprehensive, about our likely new owners Nah. Just trying to be realistic. When you look back a few years we were punching above our we...

Re: The Debt.

Kevin Davies has just tweeted.... What's the chance of the fans/local companies raising a few million in return for shares/ownership? #fanstrust Ermm aye because the quoted requirements for keeping the club afloat for a year is £25M. To actually do anything useful is probably adding another 15M on ...

Re: The Debt.

Nice to see Garty has gone when the going got tough! Hope i'm wrong but I think his illness was just a smokescreen as he knew what was coming! and if so...shame on him I think you are totally wrong here. I hope I am, does make you wonder though! I'm also wondering whether its just coincidence that ...

Re: The Debt.

I am generally aware that Accounts don't always paint the accurate picture, but one which is good enough to satisfy the Auditor The state of the Club now is we have less debt than when he took office if we can find a buyer We have 200 additional management and admin staff 13 additional players The ...

Re: The Debt.

Well it could've all happened 14/15 years ago, when ED joined the board and we were £33m in debt, without a pot to piss in...and according to the Accounts struggling to find any long term investment. So yes, still happy that someone was barmy enought to throw shitloads at it. Heard that when ED bou...

I suspect when you take into account any sale money for the club, the compounded interest on the ED loans, potential tax efficiencies of the year-on-year losses and the huge "debt" write off, plus whatever happens to the money between Bolton/Isle of Man/British Virgin Islands, Eddie and his kids wo...
