Is wanting a 'supporters trust' with a couple of hundred million to spare asking too much?

Not just you. Exactly my view.
... and mine. A bunch of sanctimonious know-nowts who feel they can influence things. No sooner than it's set up they'll be at each others throats setting up 'the Supporter's Trust of Bolton', 'the Bolton Trust for Supporters' and 30 odd other versions.
what did Eddie ever do for us... well.. errr.. the acquaduct? sanitation? roads? irrigation? :D
Much, much more important, a kettle to make a brew :wink:

Here is a good reason why we are hastily arranging the public meeting.

So, you're planning to bid for the club ?? Good luck with that one.

We want to be ready for the worst case scenario.

We understand that those who are very wealthy in Bolton are willing to back a fans trust bid if administration happens.

So they buy the club for a song after the assets are sold and people lose their jobs?

Nice.

A vague "very wealthy people are willing to back fans" is good enough for me Bruce, yer cynical old sod.

I'm in.

Now for Worthy and his mate with the big house on the coast and the job's a good un.

You are twisting what we've said.

If no one buys the club it will end up in administration anyway.

Nope, still sounds like utter b0llocks to me, but a great way for a couple of people to get their 15 minutes of fame. Crack on, good luck with that.

Actually he (Mr Nero) recited poetry whilst Rome burnt. Maybe it's a mass attempt to compose some epitaphs. :mrgreen:
