True Blue Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Hope it's not a stupid question, but with the current 11 points that Bolton has, will it be taken off from that? So now they will be bottom with -1 point?

Dave Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 I'll never forget that sinking feeling of us being put in to administration. It seems like very similar circumstances here as we were heading in the right direction on the pitch with a small squad. What i will say is from the points direction the most fantastic team spirit was created. We saw leaders emerge in Sean Derry, Clint Hill, Paddy McCarthy and Alan Lee. We saw players like Matt Lawrence, Johnny Ertl, and Calvin Andrew morph in to good players that gave 110% every game. Then we saw legends be created in the likes of Julian Speroni, Danny Butterfield and Darren Ambrose. Easily my favourite team of all time that created some fantastic memories. There is hope, and I'm sure there's enough characters at Bolton to produce something similar. Hopefully this will lead to a localised consortium taking control of the club. In modern football that is the way forward.
Honey Honey Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Administration over a £4m loan? Fuck me.
Smiley Culture Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 They just seem to lurch from one disaster to another. It’s got to be pretty depressing and demoralising for their fans and probably begs the question, how much longer can they continue like this?

Pig on the Wing Posted September 11, 2018 Author Posted September 11, 2018 Apparently it's not over yet. Seems Ken might be sliming his way out if this monumental shitstorm, and I have no idea how. His initial offer was to pay off the loan with... you guessed it... Another loan! I'm guessing he's gone cap in hand to the other Directors, namely Brett Warburton - (buy more loaves of Warbies today guys), and Eddie Davies (again, seems to be the saviour). It's a fucking shambles.

Fairy In Boots Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Some players earning 5mill a quarter and down the road a founding member of league football is in administration because of 4 million pound. Speaks volumes about how perverse this sport has become. Fuck all will change though

Why should the earnings of a player at, I presume, Manchester City or United be used as a comparison to the debts of another club? There’s literally no correlation between the two and footballers at the top level shouldn’t be vilified for this. Bolton’s, or more specifically, their owners, failings shouldn’t be turned into a Footballers earn too much argument. It’s effectively the “Soldiers should get Footballers Wages” argument people used to have on Facebook. Top Footballers shouldn’t have to give hand outs to clubs who are mismanaged anyway. It then just becomes a free for all to go by the “boom and bust” mantra, knowing full well that there are no consequences for such poor management.

Can't disagree with anything you've said there, but it does highlight the massive, massive disparity between the haves and have-nots in English football. It says it all that fans of upper-middle clubs the size of ours are praying for charity just to stay afloat, let alone compete outside the Prem!

I was referring to the level of financial disparity that has arisen in the game not that players earn fabulous wages. Im effectively a socialist when it comes to football though, wage caps, ring fences ticket pricing, subsidies etc I’m massively in favour of.

Not entirely true, the market inflation caused by clubs like Manchester United etc has been going on for 20 plus years. This causes the rise in wages which increasingly sees clubs at the bottom end struggling to keep up. Don't get me wrong, the fault is Bolton's and their owners but football's increasingly corporate, mass wealth atmosphere will start killing off clubs at a fast rate soon.

Until a mythical buyer is found, this will repeat and repeat, as the club is only now just beginning to break even.
Administrator Stan Posted September 16, 2018 Administrator Posted September 16, 2018 Sorry to hear about this @StefBWFC. Never nice to hear about clubs getting screwed over by bad businessmen who have made terrible decisions over the years. Hope you can recover from this.

Looks like the owner has put it to bed for a while. Still there's no security and the owner hasn't got a pot to piss in. We're screaming for cash...
