boundaryblue80 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Isn't it about time we had some? How much should we know? How secure is our future...with a "loan" outstanding? This isn't so much a Tom Eaves post (or I would have put it in that post) but an overall topic about a severe lack of transparency we're getting. Especially regarding the leaving of the main investors of the club...why are certain "Elected" people not asking some serious questions. I'll copy my comment in tonights Chron rather than re-hash it.... "....hiding a fee that Bolton haven't been too quiet about is again the same old "clear as mud" policy from a Boardroom that came in promising transparency. More importantly though, why is nobody asking about this loan to the departed Two Amigos? How many "undisclosed fees", TV appearance monies & cup runs will pay them off? More so, when this loan is paid off, who owns what? Will Corney and Directors own the lot? Where would the Micah money go if he was sold tomorrow & we had (for example) £2m coming our way? Into this "undisclosed" black hole? Would we be free from this loan to Blitz and Gazal? When it's paid off, if Failsworth still hasn't happened, will the rest of BP land from Brassbank be transferred back to OAFC? Nobody's asking the real questions...while the clear as mud policy lingers on & directors leave!" I highlight the Richards scenario as many people keep saying that they want him sold so we are a little bit more flush...but I don't see a penny staying in OAFC. I'd imagine it would go to paying off this loan....As things stand, we owe a non-specified amount, to some people who no longer run the club....doesn't fill me with any confidence at all. So when we question the fee received today...I'd rather know where it's going to go more than what the fee is (although I wouldn't mind knowing that either.) Is it towards next seasons budget? Towards the Failsworth fund (as T2A that have left won't be chipping in now)? The youth set-up? This loan to T2A? At what point will we have paid off what we rightly owe T2A and turn into being asset stripped without realising it? Who's getting to the answers?

drphibes Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Maybe Barry Owen could look into this for us all ? I for one am more interested in how much we got for Eaves and where the cash is going than hearing quotes about Hughesy who is no longer with us.

ghostofcecere Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Great post BB80...... These are EXACTLY the type of issues our representative on the board should be informing us about rather than entering into petty squabbles with other members. Over to you Barry......
