pretty much what you've read already

The big shock besides the price has to be 30 interested parties have had a marketing email if there is a buyer in there they'll need deep pockets to keep us playing for a few seasons after buying in a new first team the clock to the new season is ticking down.

If I'm a buyer I would like to know are we in embargo again, what further punishment coming for not fulfilling fixtures?

posted on 23/5/19

Well we are in a full embargo until we come out of admin what the EFL will decide at it's next meeting even that old wise fortune telling woman in the tent on Blackpool prom struggles with seeing anything from the EFL.
As we are Bolton Wanderers you can bet that the sale, coming out of admin and preparation for the new season won't be as easy as what has been seen elsewhere in the past.

The top-line fee takes into account that interested parties also want to buy the Bolton Whites Hotel, which is currently in the hands of a different administrator.

To me, that doesn't say categorically that the Hotel price is included. Until the other administrator confirms that that is the case, it leaves the door open for changes to that price. It could have been agreed already but it's just a little bit too ambiguous to say if that is the case.

I hope that it does include the Hotel as any further increase in price would not be favorable for finding an early resolution for the sale.

Hotel staff have been paid their wages for April, even though they are under Admin, but Wanderers wont be paid all theirs

My 10 bob bit not good enough now?

The goalposts moved. The hotel could be split from the sale of the club. All needs to be one package for me like originally intended income from the hotel going into the club. I certainly won't be using its facilities if this actually happens which I've always expected would.

Administrator fall out as the hotel issue returns to fight another day. So how much is it now for the club and a hotel in the meantime rooms are available at the asylum for those thinking of buying either.

I don't think the goalposts were moved, as I said, there was a possibility that people were reading something in the story that actually wasn't there. In other words, it wasn't spelled out clearly what the situation might be. The administrators would have served themselves and the fans better if they had defined the situation in a much clearer way.

We have two interested parties that have paid £25,000 to view the financial details. That in itself doesn't mean that they will go ahead and proceed with a bid but it is encouraging. Fingers crossed that at least one of the parties has enough cash and the will to secure the clubs future.

I want my £25k back

Swie, would you not be interested in coughing up the
£25,000 just to have a look, 👁 get some inside info and report back the facts on this site, and put us all in the picture.

Beevers has gone to Peterboro

Still no official word on Olkowski or Ameobi from the club yet.

posted on 24/5/19

I'd imagine we'll hear of a few more players signing somewhere else before the club is sold.

posted on 24/5/19

It's an odd situation isn't it. The football club company owns the shares in the hotel company, but the hotel company owns the hotel itself (I think that's the case - a separate property title was carved out of the stadium site so that the hotel and its adjacent land are legally separate from the rest of the stadium). If the hotel and attached land were to be sold off by the hotel company's administrator, or handed to a secured creditor, the football club would then be the proud owner of a hotel company with no hotel.

I don't blame players for moving on and finding another club. Good luck to beevers.

If I wanted to waste some cash I might be interested but I'm not in the business of throwing money into a bottomless pit. That's what buying a football club entails unless you really can afford to get a team into the Premiership and there is no way on this earth that I could afford to buy the club never mind run it.

Neil Lennon has been offered the Celtic manager's job after winning their domestic treble.

So it could be
9 + 12 = minus 21 in League 1
But it's the EFL so anything could happen has anybody got the money to lodge an appeal if the worst should happen.

-3 on top of the -12 would be fair considering the circumstances.
