When do you think a deal will be done

No bidders have passed the fit and proper test.

NIXON.

You've just made that up pal.

Nope.

Well somebody has allegedly stumped up the money to pay the players - or have they?. If we go into admin, will they lose that money?

BN said we should have heard something by now. We haven't so I'm going to the gym and I'll expect answers when I get back!

My feeling now is there'll be no deal at all and we'll go into administration before a buyer can be found. I don't have any facts to base that on, I'm not itk as they say but from where I sit it's becoming more and more obvious that Birch wasn't playing games when he said no one met the criteria and that the money wasn't there or proven to be available. I think (and pray that I am wrong) that we will go into administration on either Thursday or Friday.

You couldn't be more wrong, thankfully

Boggers, you claim to be in the know every day and post your assertions that news is coming. And every day it turns out to be the faecal matter of the male bovine. Why don't you do yourself a favour and stop making yourself look like a plank with your utter garbage?

You need to start spilling some beans Boggers.

I won't lower myself to your level.

Boggers, your accuracy level with your comments couldn't get any lower without help from a JCB.

Peter, you're notorious for being a negative ninny.

And now you've resorted to petty name calling.

In all fairness, there isn't really anything to be positive about at this moment in time.

No boggers, I'm simply asking you as so many others have done to either prove you know something or stop filling this forum will junk in a bid to make yourself look important. If you want to be taken seriously or shown some respect then earn it either by saying you AREN'T in the know (which is what I believe) or provide some tangible evidence for your claims, all of which are so far proving to be utterly and totally wrong. In other words put up or shut up. I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one who thinks you really are making more and more of an idiot of yourself with your grossly inaccurate assertions about what's coming out of the club. Honestly, are you Nixon in disguise?

List my grossly inaccurate assertions.

Good luck

It doesn't really matters if Boggers is ITK or not - it only becomes 'real' when the club announces something.

People are free to believe Boogers or not but there is no point getting het up over whatever he posts.

I think we might need an upper-class insult of the year award.

That's the poshest way anyone on here has ever been told they're talking shit.

Bolton now available for £15 million according to the DM...

Prospective buyers of Bolton Wanderers can have the struggling Championship club for just £15million.

That is the amount fixed by owner Eddie Davies and Trevor Birch, the financial adviser recently installed to oversee the sale.

But Davies insists the amount must be deposited in full before he allows a change of ownership.

It costs £30million-a-year to run Bolton and lifelong supporter Davies wants to guarantee the club has enough funds to run until the end of the season – hence the demand for £15million (half-a-season) up front before he gives up control.

Beyond that, Isle of Man-based businessman Davies doesn't want any more money and is prepared to walk away having written off £185million of his personal fortune.

Birch is continuing to hold talks with interested parties that include a consortium fronted by ex-Bolton striker Dean Holdsworth, another group that includes another former player Stelios Giannakopoulos and a third set of bidders from North America.

However, nobody has yet agreed to pay the asking price in one instalment and until that happens, the club's future remains uncertain.

Davies is not putting any more of his own money in, the players have not been paid for November and held talks with the PFA about it. Administration is a last resort if a buyer can't be found quickly.

Even so, Davies' desire to leave Wanderers does seem to represent a great opportunity. Besides the club, the new owners would also get the stadium, training ground, academy and hotel.

Loyal Bolton fans will be desperate to avoid asset-strippers getting their hands on the club at a low price and using it to make profits on its property value rather than run it as a football club.

If Bolton can get through to next summer, they will be able to make big savings with high-earners like David Wheater who is on £20,000-a-week becoming out-of-contract.

It is possible they could also sell midfielder Mark Davies in January who has 18 months left on his contract and is valued at £1million.

Publicly, Birch has refused to discuss the price tag on the club, saying: 'I wouldn't want to compromise the current negotiations, but Eddie is making it very attractive.'

Utter male bovine faecal matter.

So let's just get this straight then (because it's quite important for future reference):

Boggers is calling bullshit on Trevor Birch.

The man brought in to specifically facilitate the sale of the club and whose picture pops up by way of a definition when you look up the phrase "In the know" on on-line urban dictionary sites.

Roger that - duly noted.

I'm calling the article bullshit, actually.
