Sports Shield - New Owners (Probably)

[BWFC_Insane]

Holdsworth’s persistence finally paid off in February. He had been dealt a huge blow when joint funder Bruce Gordon pulled out of the deal – frustrated at the lack of flexibility being shown by seller, Davies – but was then aided by a long-time associate, and former football agent Ken Anderson.

Solicitors worked around the clock to provide the Football League with the paperwork and assurances they required, alongside the massive amount of due diligence still to be done.

Whether the deal, rushed through in an effort to save Wanderers, conceded too much to former owner Davies is unclear. He retains £15million of debt in the company and is guaranteed payments at Championship level or above for five years.

Bit harsh to call Neil Bonnar a fan (although he is) - he's the BN's head of sport, been there for 20+ years...

Just when you thought that we had put our money problrms behind us, our sources at the club have indicated to us that our beloved Bolton Wanderers do not have the finance to pay the players wages this week, although fortunately did ensure that club staff did get paid.

We have been informed that the finance shortfall is due to the fact that Ken Anderson hasn't come good with the finance promised, when he joined the SS consortium, to buy our club.

It is believed that Anderson needs to provide the necessary funds today in order to ensure that the players receive their wages on time.

There are also rumours of an unbridgeable rift now between Holdsworth and Anderson, with their working relationship effectively being non-existent.

Obviously we'll update this when new news becomes known, but it sounds like another fun chapter in the recent tumultuous history of our great club is about to be written.

I agree. Hand on heart though, do you not think there might be some element of truth to the story?

Rumours have been around for quite a few weeks than Anderson hasn't brought his money to the table - money he promised the football league he would invest. And that is why they were rumoured to be looking for more money to bridge the shortfall. Of course they are only rumours, but the smoke seems to be building.

Hopefully LOV jumped the gun and the situation is still salvageable somehow.

Don't know about jumped but they're always dodging it.

They do post some shite up but it's also clear that they have a source in the Sportshield camp and they broke the Dean Holdsworth thing before anyone else. Sadly I would be surprised if it's untrue because to me it all makes sense and I've thought for ages that these chancers were merely postponing administration. I'm inclined to believe the opposite of anything that comes our if Anderson's mouth.

Well, if KA hasn't come up with his money yet as alleged, how come he has so much "talk"?

Them as can, do. Them as can't, talk.

So Iles reckons Holdsworth may ask the FL to investigate what has happened to Anderson's money. Whereas Anderson says there is no issue.

All sounds hunky dory then....
