Got to feel sorry for the fans. They have been through a succession of false dawns over the years. Hopefully there will be some sort of last minute rescue in place.

They didn't seem to give a shit about anyone else when they were riding high in the Premier league and their chairman Gartside wanted to ringfence the top flight.

Carey 6 Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 shite for their fans. Am I right in thinking we’ll lose 4 points if they don’t fulfill their fixtures for the rest of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted March 19, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Looks like takeover or liquidation are the only options for them now, the guy that was looking to take them over (Basran) sounds a bit like a family that took over a club not too far away, in that he talks the talk but never actually seems to be able to back it up with any real investment If they get liquidated Anderson will get less money back so it will be in his interests to flog the club EFL rules indicate liquidation is not just paying 3 months running costs but also paying off secured creditors and at least 25% of unsecured creditors, this is rumored to be in excess of £10M as it currently stands There are whispers that there was another un-named group looking at the club, with all the above it may open up to a cheaper purchase for them?

Given there are not too many games left I expect the EFL and the PFA would step in and 'finance' them through to the end of the season in the hope that something more permanent could be done over the summer.

Anyone got time to work it out..? It would only change placings between Forest & Sheff Weds. It would leave us 3 points behind 6th place, instead of the current 2 points. It would move us slightly further ahead of the chasing pack though. Villa, Boro, Forest & Derby have only played them once though, so they’d lose that fixture from their “games to play” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcredandwhite Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I feel sorry for their fans. It must be horrible. When we beat them 6-0 2 seasons ago, I was in the Attyeo stand right next to them. Football fans can sometimes be as cruel as schoolchildren regarding pisstakes. Not on that occasion - we were magnanimous on that occasion. Absolutely NOBODY in the City area shouted abuse at them or taunted them - their fans threw their Bolton shirts at the players in disgust. It was sad to see - of course I was pleased with a 6-0 win but I felt for them - as I do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely had the last laugh though with his premier league assists and scoring recor.... oh hang on! - he's at Rochdale. Funny I thought Daddy said he was far too good for a Championship side like us? Back on topic - I feel sorry for the Bolton fans - I remember going to school that day in 1982. I hope they get a reprieve somehow and still have a club of some sorts to follow, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact we were trend setters after Accrington and Bradford PA. Bristol Rovers tried to buy our ground and all our players were sold cheap.

Bolton Wanderers is a proper football club totally immersed in the fabric of English football.....it cannot cease to exist, it isn’t right. 13 minutes ago, Vespa Red said: Does that mean our FA Cup result will be wiped out?

Davefevs Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Unless a special exception is made (should BWFC cease to exist), none of these players were out of contract at the end of the window, so would not be allowed to be registered to play this season. No exception was made for Doidge earlier this season, so can’t see any different happening here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
