Re: Bolton
He had to accept an offer to stave off the HMRC court case.
That should now be put on hold whilst the sale of the club is finalized.
Looks like it's some venture capitalists looking to buy the club, but can't see much football experience in there.
Can only hope they're as naive as Venkys were when they took over.

Re: Bolton
Many reasons... The belief that they can do better (no doubt a five-year plan to get into the Premiership) alternatively, to asset strip it then sell on the ground or in the belief that they can stabilise the club and sell on for a profit in the midterm.... being just three possible motivesTheFamilyCat wrote:Who on earth would want to buy Bolton?

To us, yes but there are plenty of financiers prepared to buy into the dream at least in the short term as we've seen many times, even here at Burnley we've had a few over the years.TheFamilyCat wrote:Only the second option seems viable
Re: Bolton
Asset strip and sell the ground, lease it back and escape.

Getting worse now and it would appear the potential buyer for the club has cooled their interest.

Re: Bolton
When I worked at LandRover, Solihull they sent the night shift home (around 1200 workers), with full pay, in one building because the grill in the canteen wouldn't work. Union deal says that hot food has to be available to the night shift.thatdberight wrote:Only at a football club would "no food" be reason to shut down operations.

Re: Bolton
Why didn't the management send out for hot food? Yeah, I know 1200 is a lot of takeaways, but it's not impossible when an half hour catchment area takes in the centre of Birmingham.bfcmik wrote:When I worked at LandRover, Solihull they sent the night shift home (around 1200 workers), with full pay, in one building because the grill in the canteen wouldn't work.

Re: Bolton
Maybe we shouldnt believe everything we read on twitter. Maybe it wasnt the owner but someone else at the club who closed the training ground in a dispute with the owner.
Maybe Bolton actually had a match at the training ground last night.
Maybe Bolton is a very political place at the moment.

Even more strife- the catering company (for the stadium, hospitality & the hotel) are threatening to down tools before this weekend pending settlement of monies owed.

I do feel some sympathy for the average fan but not for the club in general.

Best deal in Lancashire get your hands on Burnley FC,
With serious investment a real prospect.
This is a serious post as our lack of serious investment in the team has really hampered our football progress.
After last seasons 7th finish I for one was expecting a top 10 finish not us down in another relegatipn scrap.
