mikeroyboy Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I wouldn't have a clue. Know nothing about him other than what I read on here and the Chron. I do feel they found they had bitten off more than they could chew when the housing market went belly up. It's only a feeling but I think they are only still here under an affordable sense of loyalty. I choose to give them the benefit of the doubt and respect them for it. If the facts change I will change my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the facts change I will change my mind. In my opinion I would say there is only one left with regards to any interest in the football side but all three are here for business and it's loss making. if the one left was a millionaire, why would we have we been taken to court twice by HMIRC in 12 months. on the back of the latest one shortly after we took a £350k loan out for the daily running of the club when the previous month to that, we spent our EFL handout of an equivalent amount. We are a loss making business, which the current chairman admits. How deep are his pockets, or what's left he has to sell to the other two is another matter. I would say it's our landlords who own all the cards, Edited May 11, 2017 by underdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put in a planning application for 600 apartment units on land backing on to the Cumberland Drive area. The locals objected (on numbers and height I seem to recall) and the application was turned down. By the time it was toned-down and resubmitted the housing market was in recession and the plan shelved. Developing the land was at the forefront of rescuing the club. They were stuffed at the first hurdle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 From the separation of ownership of the club and the OEC it's not obvious that Mr Corney has any direct business links to Mr Blitz and Gazal. He certainly must be a multi-millionaire in his own right several times over to be able to fund the club to the tune of over a million from his own pocket.

He certainly must be a multi-millionaire in his own right several times over to be able to fund the club to the tune of over a million from his own pocket. From the start the plan was to redevelop BP. The land would provide the means to do it. It has always been clear in mind what the plan was. Failsworth was another hurdle where they hit the bracken big time. A long and expensive process that unseated the rider into the brown stuff. The council ultimately taking the wrap for the long winded failure of the planning process. Corney obviously has access to a limited amount of funding but the scuffles with HMRC and alleged dealings with 'last resort lenders', (my impression only from what I read on here) indicate funds aren't free flowing. And not forgetting last seasons ST giveaway. We also don't know how much his last two novice managers have cost to jettison. From a business perspective the guy is an ox. I do hope him and Sheridan can muster something out of this coming season. We are all due a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot of Bolton fans probably brought along their free carer. On a serious note what sometimes happens is away tickets are released in blocks so they may have paid for an initial allocation before a second was released.
