Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

Sorry, you'll have to talk me through this.. Companies who don't post operating profits don't pay taxes? Are you sure that's the case? Because I can name a couple of examples of businesses that couldn't afford to pay their taxes because they were losing money......
Well a) Operating profits aren't the basis for tax calculations, it's net profits then whatever adjustments are necessary for tax purposes. b) Corporation Tax is paid on profits so if you don't make a (tax) profit then you don't pay it. Obviously businesses pay other taxes. Employers NI, VAT (although they essentially just act as a tax collector in that respect)etc so that might what the businesses you mentioned were struggling to play? Also, profit and cash aren't the same thing.

I can tell it's the close season. Do you know why?
Anyway I'm sunbathing - well sitting in a beer garden with a bit of sun. I am not dressed in any form of football kit.

Good for you, fella. I unfortunately am working from home today in preparation for the new job plus I love closed season as there is so little football worth stuff going on that even SSN has to treat 'Mourinho having a poo' as the biggest story ever :lol:
Pfffft.

This may be a weird question, but it's hard for me in Serbia to understand that, so don't be mad :lol: Why is the rose of Lancashire there, and were not on the other badge?

The rose was part of the Bolton badge for many many years. When we moved to the Reebok and into the premiership the club decided to change to the ribbons badge. Lots didn't like that badge and we have now gone back to a badge similar to the old one and got the rose back :D

Understood. Now, probably a little bit offensive question...is Bolton in Cheshire or Lancashire? :oops: We studied it's in Cheshire, and now there's a Lancashire rose, it's confusing for me.

It's not offensive.

Technically Bolton is in neither. It is in Greater Manchester.

There will now probably be a long and boring argument about this.

Not at all. Bolton can't be in Greater Manchester as Greater Manchester doesn't exist. Bolton is in Lancashire, hence the Rose.

No argument.

Well, to be fair ..... not a strength of mine, as I know .... but the change of sponsor may well be reason to have a small delay.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Probably running around trying to find any Bolton player who isn't currently on their holidays to be the the kit model.

Ha I knew it.

It very much does exist by law. And in fact services are provided on a GM basis. Fairly clear cut I'd say. Like it or not......
