I don’t think he has been employed by the club yet though has he? Trust should be making club and owner aware of the man and his behaviour. Nah, I’d like to see how this one pans out.

underdog Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 3 hours ago, sjk2008 said: I'd be interested to know if the Trust intend on doing anything about some of these claims that Birkett is coming out with? There are also screenshots available on Twitter where it appears that the director who left the other week - Mark Lund (?) - states the reasoning for his departure was down to the way the Trust are actively seeking to oust AL from his position, and that's not an approach he agrees with. Another one where a trust director (or former) has stated that he/she has been asked if they want to help set up a phoenix club. Both provided by Chuckle (I think). TBH. We can't respond as he has cut us all out of the group he allowed us in. Right to reply I suppose. I have no idea if they are personal views of Director spoke/typed in a friend to friend response to Kevin. Until we are allowed to understand what the evidence is then we can review it and respond At the end of the day, We are all fans and our concern is the club and people who work there. This should be the focus in my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 5 hours ago, TheBigDog said: As I see it, the recent ‘momentum’ was not all encompassing. There was a clear difference between those who made the decision not to renew season tickets and/or boycott games as opposed to those who, whilst unhappy, made the decision to continue their support. This was reflected in the reduced number of home fans in attendance on Saturday - down by 750 to 900. The fact that we had an 18 day break between games also played a part in calming things down. This did allow the Trust to organise a fans meeting to gauge fans views and draw up a written statement. The next significant milestone will be if/when we get a response from Abdallah to the Trust letter; specifically the nature of that response. The ‘bitching and the odd grumble’ will always be part of this forum. As you point out, the level will rise if results are poor. To not renew your season ticket while still attending home games is going out without a whimper. Anybody who is doing that should have some backbone.

As well, those who have not yet renewed for next season have still paid for this season so they can support the team without putting any more cash into Abdallah’s pocket. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody who is doing that should have some backbone. Rubbish...I like many others are awaiting the response / outcome of the trust letter before committing to a ST. I’m still going to the matches when able to do so but the events of the last few weeks have given me serious doubts as to the credibility of our owner and whether or not he has the necessary skills and motivation to run our football club! For me, AL has to set out a clear plan and the direction he wants to take this club. It doesn’t have to involve spending shed loads of money I just want him to be honest and upfront with the fans. It has been one disaster after another since taking over and the Scholes debacle was probably the finale straw for most of us!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might well have issues (in fact, imagine if he hasn't?). That said - with the amount of abusive & threatening behaviour in person and online, fuck him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can Bassini be allowed back in to football so soon after his previous problems though!? The other interested parties have apparently ‘wandered’ off on account of another £10m of undeclared debt that has appeared. That could of course be tactical, but it is becoming very very serious.

Wasnt it a 5 year ban from football ownership he recieved in 2013 so I assume he should be clear to takeover now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latics22 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Clubs as large as Bolton don’t go bump, some sap will buy them. It’s unfair to think what advantages they have had, money spent they didn’t have. They should be forced to minimum league 2 like rangers!

whittles left foot Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 If Bolton look as though they are going to be relegated anyway, is there not a case for a potential buyer waiting for them to go into administration and then buy the assets cheaper like Ashley seems to be doing with most of the High St?

So there may be people interested that he doesn’t even know about. That’s Bolton fans best hope probably. It would be cheaper for the buyers too.
