He didn`t say height, It may be that they`ve taken advantage of one of those internet offers. It`s amazing what clauses are included in a player`s contract these days.

Sky just interviewed John McGinlay who has been banned from commentating for Radio Manchester by Anderson due to him being critical of the owners. JM is going to try and get into the match and see whether he`s allowed to or not. It`s all getting very Oystonesque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Boton’s woes continue. Wages not paid, everyone’s been given the day off today and apparently the training ground is closed due to lack of any food and possibly fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham (50 but better GD),and Derby (51) would go above us. As you were with those currently above us with WBA and Boro gaining 3 points on the top three.

Davefevs Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Expunged....now there’s a word. Imagine Bolton did go down the tubes the League Table would be: Norwich 35/69 > 33/63 (won both) Leeds 35/67 > 33/61 (won both) Sheff Utd 34/64 > 32/58 (won both) West Brom 35/60 > 33/57 (won one lost one) Boro 34/58 > 33/55 (won one) City 34/54 > 32/50 (won one drew one) Derby 34/51 > 33/51 (lost one) Birmingham 35/50 > 33/50 (lost both) Nottm Forest 35/50 > 34/47 (lost one) Hull 35/50 > 33/44 (won both) Villa 35/48 > 34/45 (won one) Brentford 35/48 > 34/45 (won one) etc. So as above City go 8th on GD, but a game in hand over Brum (7th) and Derby (6th).

I've just been reading about this and it's starting to look more and more likely. Imagine us losing out on a play off spot because of Bolton going under, what a kick between the legs that would be.

Somebody always comes in for it on the cheap once it's gone into administration and its creditors have accepted a CVA at a penny in the pound.

Whitchurch1966 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Nixon on Twitter says that the potential buyers have not gone away, they are just not ready to sign, sounds like a stand off, someone waiting for the other to blink. I would think the EFL would step in to help them finish the season whilst in administration anyway, PFA pay wages etc. They would want to avoid the disruption of a club doing pop mid season at all costs.

This was partly pedantry but also because a league club has an instrinsic value that most league clubs don't as in a decent revenue stream: TV money, relatively high crowds inlcuding being in the cups, merchandise sales. If I buy Bolton for £1 it will come with a decent revenue stream. If I buy a non-league club then it generally won't; though there are exceptions in these days of automatic relegation out of the league rather than re-election such as Torquay.
