When do you think a deal will be done

Big day today, Boggers.

Hope that you've been right all along, mate. (Honestly.) 

I mean that most sincerely, folks. (TM Hughie Green)

I'm hoping (based on your previously faultless intel) for a big reveal pre-kick off which results in the 28,000 in attendance erupting into a frenzy of Post-Davies delight and we batter the twats 5-0.

And if / when it happens, I shall be at the head of the procession out of Horwich waving my "Let the good times roll!" banner as we march down Chorley New Road to a new dawn.

Ooh, I feel good!

Thanks Boggers.

Boggers never fails to deliver.

Deal done and announced by Monday with Deano's lot leading the race according to Iles today.

Should be in place by Christmas.

Deanos still a bit short of money

Ive heard the new owners are from China.

Hmmmm.......

Some dodgy character from a company based abroad trying to divest Bolton fans of their hard-earned cash by conning them and telling them a load of lies.

Got a familiar ring to it that......

What  has Martin ever done to you?

Where is Martin these days?

Hope he's ok.

Just to give people a little hope, read this from the bbc about Reading. In truth they were probably days away from Admin but won't admit it

Article in the Independent - well worth a read if you have a spare minute or two - comments on Davies unpopularity with the staff, very critical of Coyle signing of Andrews (what he was paid anyway) and the new contracts given to Wheater, Mavies and not stated but obviously done at the same time, Knights TWO YEAR contract (I still can't believe how stupid that was) and Kevin Davies extra year (even though everybody knew his legs had gone!).

Dean Holdsworth's Sport Shield Investment Group edges ahead in three horse race for ownership

The winner of the boardroom battle at Wanderers should be revealed by Monday.

In what has boiled down to a three-horse race, Dean Holdsworth’s Sports Shield Investment group appears to have the edge over two rival bids looking to buy the club from Eddie Davies.

A consortium led by ex-Wanderers midfielder Stelios and another from the Middle East have also been negotiating heavily in the last couple of days, with each being asked to provide indisputable proof they can cover the club financially during the due diligence process.

Davies is in a hurry for the preferred bidder to complete the next stage, which would see all accounts and legal documents opened up for examination. After that, and provided there were no further hitches, the formal sale would be announced – with the hope of a new owner being installed by Christmas.

At least one of the groups is expected to be in the director’s box for today’s game against Cardiff City.

Wanderers are sailing close to the wind financially but money put down by the preferred bidder should mean the playing staff will receive their November wages and that close to 300 staff around the club’s various site will be able to breathe a little easier in the run up to the festive period knowing the threat of administration has been staved off.

Though there are signs that worst could be over in the takeover struggle, on the pitch Neil Lennon’s side have plenty of work to do.

The Whites remain cut adrift in the bottom three and have won just once all season but the manager remains adamant that his side can still turn a corner.

“We are a different prospect at home and I genuinely believe we are not playing that badly,” he told The Bolton News. “I keep telling the players they have to believe in themselves that this is going to change. No-one will hand it to them.”

The wave of unity which has spread around the club over the last week will most likely make a strong atmosphere against Cardiff – and the club moved to help boost numbers by offering free upgrades to any ticket which is likely to be un-used this afternoon.

No bidders have passed the fit and proper test.

NIXON.

But Boggers said........

Not quite what Nixon has said to be fair, he said nobody's put the money up yet and he's getting bored of people talking. Time to get serious is the message, suppose we'll find out if anybody is in the next 48 hours.

You've just made that up pal.

I've said all along that the Far East consortium are the front runners. That's still the case

Just so long as it's not Holdsworth and The Ant Hill Mob.

..and I've said I believe you all along Boggers but you still haven't answered my question about who these guys are. 

Do you know anything about them? Anything at all?
