Administration and recovery

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Is anyone able to shine any light on the reasons why the administrators have been able to hold onto player registrations, despite refusing to pay the players concerned? Shirley that's a restriction of trade and goes directly against the Bosman ruling from years ago?

It's looking that by close of play today, we might have new owners. Owners who have mortgaged the hotel (The club's only asset) taken a huge dividend each whilst putting a small percentage back into the club to pay interim running costs and who know nothing about football, whilst already incurring a huge debt to the PFA, having no operating capital of their own. What could possibly go wrong.....................

Succinctly put.
Everyfxckingthing. Shysters Ltd.

A stand to me would mean standing up for a cause other than himself. Not just cos he wants to leave. Doesn’t care about the club or fans or his teammates. Just himself. To me that’s not principled just selfish.

Correct. Tis still a stand nevertheless.
Look, he's a useless lump. But he's been fxcked about, relentlessly. No doubt this morning's pep talk would have gone down well in North Korea, but sometimes enough is fxcking enough.

...and has the dotted line been fxcking signed????
Has it Bollox.

That Hummel kit: bwfc.co.uk story says they will wear it tomorrow whilst deciding what to do for the rest of the season. What does that mean - have Hummel essentially lent us a raft of generic white/blue training tops and ironed a Bolton badge on for tomorrow? Presumably they will want to know the details of the takeover before agreeing a proper longer term deal? Does that mean if the takeover goes ahead and they agree a deal, we might end up with a different kit designed for us (hope so as the one on the web site is cr@p)

The only thing I could think of is that in a transfer two things transfer. Player plus their registration which is a club owned asset. I wondered if they'd effectively said you can go if we get transfer fee...

That, I believe, is what Paul Appleton is stating.
Paul Appleton, the bloke who has brought in 'experts' to run the player side, and over the course of less than three months racked up more debt, on a day to day basis, than the previous three administrations, all of which is secured. He's a fxcking charlatan.

This is all totally unreal. My primary school team was better organized than we seem to be. At least the absence of the centre forward could be explained by detention rather than just not turning up. And we knew the team the day before.

[Harry Genshaw]

Ameobi and Olkowski were said to have left after their notice expired and then both pitched up at new clubs quite quickly afterwards.

Maybe Magennis didn't have a firm offer from anywhere else so there wasn't another party pulling from the other side when the administrators refused to accept his notice?

I wish he'd stay and be playing tomorrow but I can't blame him for refusing to. He has no emotional connection to Bolton and he's been fecked around by the club for months. Now they've been paid I'm sure some can just get their heads down and crack on. We shouldn't be surprised that some are a little more bitter about things.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Ooooh look. It's ten minutes past five.
Nobody has signed on the dotted line.
Administrators are still running us.
Game tomorrow is still on.
Players for tomorrow are another matter entirely.
We haven't been liquidated.
The EFL haven't disposed of us.

Makes you wonder really, doesn't it?

[Worthy4England]

If he wants away, I'm fine with that. He won't rank anywhere in the list of Bolton strikers I missed after they left.

Magennis has refused to play full stop, but it seems that he might not be the only one refusing to play as things stand right now. The club coach is still outside the stadium and has been for a number of hours.

seems as though our torture is enduring
will this shite never end ??

Is that a Hummel coach?

[nelson66]

With a deal so close to the line - are the players really helping things by refusing to play ?
Surely they have hung around because they see themselves having a future at Bolton Wanderers -- why kick a dog when its down ?

This business about a deal being close to the line?
What do you mean by that?
What DEAL?
FV are either buying the club or they aren't. It's black and white, there is no fxcking deal. You either buy. Or you don't.
At the moment, they aren't.

[nelson66]

the deal that FV are cutting with the administrators thats been rumbling on for an eternity -- or do you think its not happening ?
and of course its a deal - there is not a set price - its a negotiation

[Bruce Rioja]

Magennis can suck my bollocks.

In his last 36 games for us I've seen as many talking 4ucking animals as that c*nt's scored goals. I've been shot through the 4ucking head as many times.

Go on, 4uck off you shit c*nt.

Presumably the latest in a long line of broken promises. I wouldn't be happy being treated like a mug. I'm.not going to slate Magennis until I know a bit more as well.

Seems Bruce isn’t taking LLS’s sweepstake adjudication well...
