Sports Shield ready to walk away from Wanderers takeover talks/ ST bid to buy club

When questioned about the plan, Hurst said earlier that the plan is (and I'm trying to remember his exact phrasing so forgive me if it's slightly off because I went dizzy as my jaw smacked against my keyboard when he came out with it but the gist is correct):

Await a response to their letter to ED asking to be made preferred bidders.

Look at the books once this is granted.

Spend "a few days" formulating a business plan. (As you do.....)

Present it to the 30 or so local businesses who have expressed an interest in "helping in some way" (not pledged any funding mind, merely expressed an interest in potentially helping in some way).

Secure said funding.

Submit it as a formal bid to ED for approval.

Take ownership of Bolton Wanderers Football & Athletic Club.

And all before the club's back up in front of the Beak in a couple of weeks.

It's chaos and if it wasn't so potentially dangerous for the future of our football club, it might actually be funny.

You negative ninny. We get promoted from League 2 by finding committed players with an ounce of quality.

It's not impossible.

Breadman, I really get the feeling this takeover (or lack of it) has taken over your life. Chill my friend. What will be will be.

Whatever happens there will always be a place for you in my Chorley box.

Is that supposed to make me feel better....?

It should do, it's not an offer I give out willy-nily.

Hol-eee-shit!

Bread this deserves a thread of its own don't you think? 

Incredibly good news if it's true and might just stop that idiotic group pretending to be a Supporter's Trust in their tracks.
