^ There's a 12yr old lad who sits half a dozen seats from me in the east lower who has such a high pitched voice it makes my ears bleed. Every week I wish his voice would hurry up and break! Actually though he's very knowledgeable and shouts at and cajoles the team from start to finish every week, which is great. But last week I got a reminder he is only 12 when he shouted "Referee! You're rubbish......and you haven't got any friends!"

To paraphrase Johan Cruyff — 'If you wanted to understand, I would explain it better.'thebish wrote:the argument seems to be that lots of it is compound interest - it probably is - and that ED shouldn't have had that for some unspecified reason, or summat, plus an unspecified "errrr.. summat dodgy" quotient = ED has fleeced us blind. get it now?Worthy4England wrote:I don't need to read again. I've read before. You didn't substantiate it then and you haven't now...on interest you'd need to lay off what we paid on it against what he would have got on it had he invested elsewhere.

Read again. "Closer to £15m". Covered in previous posts on here, which I think you responded to at the time, here are a few nuggets: Uncontestable elements include compound interest and management fees. Various other means quite possible and technically legal. More dubious grey areas also available. Anyway, ED's pre-bwfc and current takeover-period business form don't indicate he would be cheerfully haemorraging cash under any circumstances, fan or no fan. Well done, you've successfully lured me into repeating myself somewhat, at a late hour!
I particularly like the cover all of "more dubious grey areas" that should account for any gaps in the maths.

Anyhow - Marc Iles suggesting deal is complete but might not be announced today as mark of respect for the families of the victims of Burnden disaster...
Edit: so one for the "clearly not breaking today" news thread

Sports Shield changed the structure of their bid in recent weeks, giving a higher share allocation to Anderson’s Inner Circle group. Bruce Gordon, who had previously been a major investor in the bid, has stepped aside.

Re: Sports Shield - New Owners (Probably)
Iles seems to be suggesting that sports shield restructured the bid to attract further investment and Gordon stepped aside to aide this. He's saying it is a good thing, rather than the initial line of an investor dropping out.Worthy4England wrote:Sports Shield changed the structure of their bid in recent weeks, giving a higher share allocation to Anderson’s Inner Circle group.

Re: Sports Shield - New Owners (Probably)
Heh! It's not quite that bad but there is what you might call a coded criticism in there. Course, it could just be bigging up the squad members, but notably not the manager...BWFC_Insane wrote:Statement from Deano.

In case you can't access the link:
Bolton Wanderers Football Club and Sports Shield Investments are delighted to announce the completion and sale of the club from Eddie Davies.
On behalf of Sports Shield I would like to thank Mr Davies for his dedication and contribution to Bolton Wanderers over many years. We are of course pleased that Eddie will remain as honorary club president of Bolton Wanderers.
We would also like to thank the staff, fans and club sponsors for their continued support during what has been an incredibly difficult period for all involved. Securing the club’s future was of paramount importance. This is a great day for Bolton Wanderers Football Club and Sports Shield.
We very much hope that we can build on the continued support of a club steeped in history for many years to come.
We will not give up the fight of maintaining our Sky Bet Championship status. We believe we have a group of excellent players to work with and we hope that today’s news will give everyone a lift, both on and off the pitch.
The performance and atmosphere against Ipswich Town was excellent and we hope that the fans will join us for an important game at the weekend against our local rivals Preston North End.
Up the Trotters!

Says we have a good set of players. Doesn't mention the manager or coaching. Inference is that he doesn't think we should be where we are with the players we have.TANGODANCER wrote:That's just you hoping, Insaney. Nothing in there that even hints at it..BWFC_Insane wrote:Statement from Deano.

He's hardly going to say "the players are a bunch of useless overpaid wankers. Now go out there are keep us up and save me a few quid in doing so".
He probably is making arrangements for some P45s, but I don't think that statement is a clear indication of him getting rid of Lennon.
