Mr Benn Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Remember a time in the 1990s when a group of guys used to come up from Bolton to watch us. They had a soft spot for us. I wonder if they still come. We know more than most how sad it is to go through possibly losing your club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun.lawson Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Here's some background on Bolton. It all goes back a long, long, long way. Phil Gartside was their Chris Robinson/Peter Ridsdale. https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/oct/11/phil-gartside-bolton-wanderers-abyss http://swissramble.blogspot.com/2010/11/why-bolton-have-so-much-debt.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Sailor Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Bit more encouraging for Bolton. Proposed takeover by Football Ventures is down to the final signatures and negotiations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Great news if it goes through. Even tougher on Bury though. They will have to reform but Wimbledon provide a great example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they will be able to recruit some new players before the transfer window closes, if only to take the pressure off the youngsters.

Captain Canada Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Great news but they've got a real mountain to climb just to stay in that division. What a story it would be if they managed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 As I’m happy as I am for Bolton they’re aren’t out the woods yet, they have -11 points in their league and unless they can do something great they will get relegated meaning money is gonna be harder to come across unless these buyers actually want to invest in the club.

Stephen_East Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I see Bolton is going down the Newco route. 1895-formed company to be wound up. Asset sale to a new company. Interesting if the english media have the guts to report what's happened HONESTLY unlike our MSM... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is Rangers failed to get a cva while in administration and were liquidated. Green then scooped up the assets. This company have bought Bolton while still in administration and they haven't failed a cva, from everything I can make out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see anywhere in that document, from July, that says Bolton are liquidated or being liquidated. This situation is not exactly the same as that disgusting institution from Glasgow. Also, the holding company that own Bolton are called Burnden Leisure. They arent owned by a 1895 formed company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange comment given you've clearly not read the document!! There is no way this sale is a purchase of shares in the football club, as we did when we saved our club. "pending completion of the sale of the business and assets..." "the company's employees will be transferred to the purchasing entities in accordance with TUPE upon finalisation of the sale" "despite attempts to rescue the company as a going concern, it was ultimately considered that this could not be realised" "I instructed AON PLC to conduct a review... until a sale of the business and assets was completed" "The Joint Administrators' recommend that the Company should move from Administration to Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation" No question Bolton Wanderers Football Club incorporated 1895 will perish. The dishonesty of the reporting in the media about this fact is another question however... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Only the pedantic would bother about this liquidation/CVA nonsense What matters is Bolton's fans and how they feel and they feel the club will still be Bolton Wanderers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Last 5 league games: Rochdale 5-2 Bolton Tranmere Rovers 5-0 Bolton Bolton P-P Doncaster Rovers Bolton 0-5 Ipswich Town Gillingham 5-0 Bolton One game called off due to Bolton players being knackered and unable to fulfill the fixture. 20-2 overall scoreline. Sitting on -11 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for you Dallas.... https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/00043026/filing-history/MzI1MTAwNTIzMWFkaXF6a2N4/document?format=pdf&download=0 "THE procedure of dissolving a long-standing associated Wanderers company continued today with the publication of an administrators’ report on Companies House. The Bolton Wanderers Football and Athletic Company Limited, which first came to be at the turn of the 20th century, is going through the process of liquidation after Football Ventures assumed control of the ‘golden share’ which confirms membership of the EFL as part of August’s takeover. It is expected that liquidation will begin in the next couple of months. As part of his duties, administrator Paul Appleton, working on behalf of Rubin and Partners, issued a statutory six-month progress report to the High Court which revealed several financial details associated with the sale of the club." Thank god we avoided this shit-show by getting the CVA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voluntary Agreement preserved our history as continuous from 1874. Why eat offal when you can have steak?
