I suppose it’s no consolation but at least they were there relatively recently. 2012?? Feels like an age ago since they came down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football Ventures consortium buying the club and settling the debt within the next 14 days if rumours are true. It's not football ventures. Football ventures are the original consortium which pulled out due to Anderson d*cking about and inflating the price. This new buyer is the one who approached Moonshift (Eddie Davies company/estate), who Anderson owes 5 million secured loan to, plus an apparent 3 mill unsecured loan to (which he is reluctant to provide accounts to show it went into the club). The mystery buyer is still unknown, but has shares in a major club, and deep pockets. They are known to Football Ventures, but they though this buyer had no interest.

billyblack Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 5 hours ago, shandypants said: For the sake of the fans, my hope is that the club is saved or, at worst, goes into administration. Bolton will be hit by a points deduction if they go into administration and there will be some unfortunate businesses/organisations that won’t get paid what they are owed (if an administration exit package is agree) but at least the fans will still have a club. Your argument that Bolton getting kicked out will solve the general problem of clubs overspending is too simplistic in my opinion. There is no silver bullet - the issue of overspending in football is complex. There are four main drivers that fuel overspending as far as I can see: Player salaries Player transfer costs The financial rewards of participating in Europe’s top domestic leagues (particularly the Premier League) The financial rewards of participating in the Champions League Whilever the above are left ungoverned, unrestricted and largely ignored then the issues that Bolton currently face will continue. Simplistic yes, silver bullet no. It wont take one long club going out of business, it would take a few, however if it started to happen other clubs should take note. Its unfortunate but no different to any other business, be it footba or not. Football shouldnt be an excuse for bad business management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 It'll be Milan. Has stake in a club already in Slovenia. Knows Paul Aldridge already at Bolton.

I know, it was a joke FFS Seriously I don't think it is Uncle Milan though, apparently it is someone who was linked originally but Anderson dismissed it as b*llocks, and it seems to be narrowed down to a Russian or a Turk from what Bolton fans have narrowed it down. Plus, this mystery buyer has shares in a major club, and well, Slovan aren't exactly major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
