But the narrative must remain that Lemsagam is the villain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest crimes, increasing the wage bill and digging a few people out. He's got a way to go to get on terms with the last lot and their charge sheet.

He's certainly got his own downsides (interference, #frenchlads), but from what I understand he's trying to rectify things in terms of getting the financial side of the club sorted out. Corney was a crook, AL definitely doesn't seem to be as bad as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 5 hours ago, Bobledgersheart said: We almost certainly have. I know of a contractor on the stand who "pulled out" many months ago as he was owed money from the previous regime and there was no prospect of him getting paid. It's no coincidence that major parts of it are unfinished. I'd imagine hes not the only one, unfortunately if the Tax man and the staff arent being paid then subcontractors or suppliers are going to be an after thought at best. 4 hours ago, deyres42 said: But the narrative must remain that Lemsagam is the villain... Only for people who look at things in a bi polar manner. The majority of us are reasonable balanced people who will acknowledge problems caused, but give him a certain benefit of the doubt, and allow him to put things right over the coming years.

Bristolatic Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 3 hours ago, boundaryblue80 said: I'd love AL to come out and say something like...."I arrived last summer, the club was virtually bankrupt. The bank didn't want to know us. Corney was wanting me to pay the wages and I didn't own a thing. I wanted to buy the club and if I didn't pay something, there wasn't going to be a club to buy. So an agreement was put in place that I paid the wages of players I brought to the club, and Corney agreed to pay the players he'd brought to the club." We know Corney didn't have a pot to piss in. From things I've heard the past 12mths, I'm fairly sure the above won't be far from the truth. And that is the most plausible explanation I've seen thus far.

Clifford Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 17 hours ago, Ryan said: Rumours then. Was expecting something more substantial from you, Smiley... One of Wellens' mouthpieces states Davies allegidly threw a fit with AL in Jan because he blocked a move to Coventry where his wages would have been doubled. Wellens wanted him to leave but AL stated he was his favourite player. Davies came in the next day allegedly holding holidays tickets stating that was all he was interested in. I would check his stats post the last week of Jan and see if you see any down turn. Instead of £3k a week at Cov he is at Mansfield. Axe to grind. Move on.

Can anybody tell me where Mike Keegan has written a piece on Bolton Wanderers because he has tweeted that it’s his job to report on any club where it is run very badly. So I can’t find an article anywhere Mike. Expecting you to release the dirt on them soon. Can’t Wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latics22 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Does no one else find it a tad concerning that AL didn’t even know what he was buying? He had to have a trust rep inform him he was actually buying the squad not the ground? At what point was this revelation appear? Did it reduce the price? I find it extremely weird.

We had a couple of fans who work at the club in various roles, at the AGM. I know Lee asked the question about wages and I don't remember as I had my head down, doing the notes anyone speaking up to say they had not from a non player angle. I know one was a turntstyle operator and another from the community trust. Maybe they didn't want to say anything which is fair enough As as far as I am aware match day staff are the first to be paid as without them, Matches cannot go ahead. i know the club switched back accounts, I'm amclutching at straws with regards to an oversight but you really need to take this further with the club. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
