it can't really be both - admin in (LESS THAN) 48hrs and also raising some cash from selling property!! can it??? :conf:

If that's so they've taken advantage and held us to ransom.

It's £2m down, rising to £3m if he's good. Has been since the weekend. They haven't dropped their bid, which is actually reasonably high given he's relatively unproven, relatively injury-prone and relatively weedy.

(Disclaimer: I love Zach. But if I were a Brizzle fan I'd be thinking we were being generous rather than opportunistic.)

I agree. He's hardly the Messiah. He shines out like a diamond in shit with our lot though.

If he was thought to be the Messiah then trust me, the figure on the table would be 10 times what they are offering. They know they would be getting a very talented player who will definitely help take them up the table if he accepts.

Aye, but how do you feel about it as a Bolton fan?

I think it's ridiculously low, but what can you do. The lad clearly has talent, bags of potential, and a great eye for goal.

Even that's a bit strong. If you said maybe help take them up the table, then ok.

realistically - how much are you reckoning we could reasonably have expected to make on Clough??

he has made a total of 20 appearances for a very poor championship club...

2mill plus up to a mill extra with add-ons is as good as we could have hoped for at this stage...

Look, I am Panic-fanny-in-chief, and even I have always had us down as capitulating into voluntary Administration this coming weekend. So stop fanning fanny fan's fainting fits.

that's a uniquely american expression... in films they often ask - "do you want eggs?" or "I'm making eggs" or summat similar... I can't imagine anyone in the UK ever saying, "I ate eggs." :D
