Annover note from the Chairman - Oi

Evenin' everyone Ken here,

Now as you've all been made aware the evil supporters trust and Bolton Council, (those commenters in the Bolton News WERE correct after all), have ganged up and got most of their way in protecting the stadium from my clutches but I still have the hotel and car park to turn into a shining beacon of money making goodness. Still there's no real comedy in this so I'm going to move on and accept the decision like a grown man. However, come the glorious day we ever have another meeting I'm putting a whoopee cushion on all of their seats.

We had an internal discipline matter to deal with early this week with the news that Gary Madine had been a bit nawty whilst home. Once we slipped on his Hannibal Lector style mask and club straight jacket, (remind me to get that repaired there's a lot of wear), I gave him the gold standard Ken shakedown. The muttering and gahrupmphings I got in response tells me it won't be happening again any time soon. Just to make sure I send him down to the club basement where he will be punished by watching re-runs of Dougie Freedman interviews until either his eyes bleed or we run out of tape.

Meanwhile I ring Arsenal to see if we can't get some of their filthy add on cash early as we'd budgeted for Rob Holding to be playing all the time for Arsenal by now. Happily they are willing to oblige on the proviso that we take on a member of their office staff who is homesick for the North West. Normally I'd say no but the fee will enable us to buy enough lottery scratchcards to get us a decent profit.

Whilst I'm waiting for my new Arsenal trained office staff member I must remind you all that the club shop remains open for the purchase of all things Bolton and new in stock this week is the "I've been glassed by big Gaz" t-shirts a bargain at £23.50.

As I gaze longingly over the car park I realise that Dangerous Darren is in deep conversation with a strange looking girl clad in red. Oh good god no. It can't be - Darren only converses that deeply with people on the same level as himself - and isn't that an Arsenal crest she's sporting? I've a feeling this will not end well.

Cheers Easy.

Ken.
