Bolton (sold to Football Ventures)

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

Can’t see them going bust tbh . They are too famous for that bury on the other hand may go

I see it the other way round. Bury are £9M in debt according to the CVA, not sure if this is how it's calculated though, Bolton are £30M. Whoever comes in to buy a football club must surely know they're risking losing most of their investment for quite some time if not forever. There'll be more buyers willing to risk 9M than 30M.

Got to feel for Bolton fans.

If Bury/Bolton are kicked out of the league, how do they correct the places the season after? Will there be an extra promotion space available in the league below?

They’ll make our B team and EDS play in League 1, leaving us with a 13 man Premier League squad

If platini had had his way on debt in his original view on ffp, then, who knows, this may have all been avoided.
But he didn’t, and instead it was bent and perverted by .... well, we all know who.
The blood of Bury and Bolton is all over the hands of Gill, Rummenigge, and their cosy little cartel.

Indeed pal!

Jim Shite has no fucking shame.

Speaking in front of a countdown clock likes it's a transfer day.

Thousands of people may lose their club. Their emotional crutch. Gone. Yet this wanker is gleefully and patronising the club.

I hope people give him pelters on talk shite tomorrow.

Its gone down like a lead balloon on social media - White and SKY getting pelters on things like Twitter for the crassness of their actions.

Sky and the likes of the rags, Arsenal and dippers were the start of the rot for lower league clubs. Taking a bigger share of the money, more live games shown so what may become new local fan's instead stay at home and watch the bigger clubs. Then we have the warped ffp which has proved to be totally ineffective for what it was set up for. Shame on the lot of them.

It also started with the home teams keeping the gate receipts, that was led by the likes of utd

Agree with all your points but you might be surprised at the attendances for lower league clubs pre sky Id wager they were lower than they are now

Just some of the gems off twitter - Bill I Am gets a special mention for his genius idea - a rag maybe but on this topic I like the cut of his antipodean jib

This is one of more ****ish things I’ve seen in recent times. Fuck Jim White and fuck Sky Sports.

Sky should be ashamed of themselves. Behind Jim White is a huge countdown to the death of a combined 250 years of history. This isn’t transfer deadline day FFS. Minutes later they are discussing Alexis Sanchez’s £500k p/w wages. Modern football is disgraceful!

Because the word “deadline” is thrown up, Sky Sports News have actually got Jim White in and a countdown to the death of 2 traditional English football clubs, 1 of which was a founding member of the football league, the very thing that has made Sky billions. Disgraceful.

Jim White: ‘Bolton have made a poor start to league one’ how about praising our fucking kids who’ve gone out and grafted their arses off every week you prick when we’re an hour off going bust.

Well,
@SkySportsNews
have yet again shown that they’re a cretinous organisation, treating the #BWFC and #BuryFC situations like transfer deadline day. Yellow graphics and Jim White galore. The absolute pit of ‘journalism’

Get Jim White to charge people a quid to kick him in the bollocks. They'll be able to buy Messi in January.
