Is a buyer is the only hope for BWFC?

'Bullery' is the word you're all looking for.

If you want to see hate read the death threats and the wishes of cancer that's been posted on social media towards the Anderson's.

Hate is not calling a self obsessed sixty odd year old nutjob in regards to KA, Brexit, the Conservatives, etc ad nauseumly spouting spurious shite and anger at any anybody who disagrees with him - a joke and laughing at them.

Christ he's been telling me for the last three years that Anderson's going to asset strip the club, pawn imaginary assets, going to bankrupt the club, Ron Billionaire is going to buy us out of Admin, believes Boggers made up purchaser is a true story, and half a mountain of other nonsense - then finally I assume the penny drops with him that he really has no idea what is going to happen next and finally asks others what we think (on something that isn't even the most obvious and earliest outcome for the club!).

I bit my tongue and refused to post when I first saw the thread but cracked when he posted the absurd comment in the extreme that KA is worried about the bad publicity ffs!!!

Yeah, I'm sure that really makes me a hater!

Jog on.

A lot of your “discussions” with wander end up as personal insults.

A lot of his "discussions" with me end up as personal insults too - often started by him also I may add, when I've posted something pro-Anderson in his view.

I don't moan about his insults, nor him about mine.

Hardly even insults 'insufferable tool' is that really on the level of 'fuck of you slimy fucking cunt' that I've just read a tweet in respect of Anderson?

Personally I find your avatar portraying the clubs owner as a North Korean dictator far more insulting than anything I've ever said about Wanderlust.

Hardly in any position to call out someone else for being 'hateful' really then?

Pot and kettle come to mind.

You really find an image of Ken as Kim Jong Un offensive?

I think the hair suits him. Takes ten years off him. If only Lee would sort his barnet out.

I find it offensive to Kim Jong-un!

My avatar is for a laugh.  I also created the one portraying Anderson as the wolf of Wall Street for a laugh.

My post is in jest so there's no confusion.

T.R.O.Y wrote:You really find an image of Ken as Kim Jong Un offensive?

More offensive than calling Wanderlust a tool - definitely.

Kim Jong Un is a dictator who has ordered people to be killed in real life ffs!

Even KA's not that bad.

And I was clearly laughing at Wanderlust.

So why the need for the hate comment?

Because you follow him around and get stuck into him constantly.

Just read the comments on this thread.

It's my honest opinion that Admin would likely be a total disaster for BWFC for two reasons.

Firstly it's incredibly unlikely we'd survive the immediate 12 point deduction for this season, that would ensure relegation and a subsequent significant loss of income for next season. Which brings me neatly to the second reason.

We'd be unlikely imo to find a buyer or sort out the creditors in time to come out of admin by the beginning of next season. If we are still in admin at that time we'd suffer another points deduction (again 12 points) and that would make it exceptionally difficult for the club to get back up to the championship.

Finally, it's far from certain we'd find a buyer at all. We don't have the fanbase or commercial pulling power of say, Leeds Utd or even Portsmouth (both of whom went into admin TWICE) because of where we are in relation to the likes of Man Utd and Man City. It's entirely possible in my view that if we do enter admin investors will take one look, decide the long term future of the club is unworkable and walk away. To have any chance of finding a buyer who can take us forward it's my opinion we must still be a 'going concern' and show we have at least some chance of reaching a point where income exceeds expenditure on an ongoing basis.

Someone hand Sluffy a new spade, he's broke the other with  all the frantic digging.

I think that part of the point that I was trying to make is that as long as Anderson continues to run the club into the ground, losing money hand over fist, we are heading that way anyhow Peter - at least I can't see it ending any other way without a buyer, so the question is would it be better to do it now on a voluntary basis or wait until the financial position has worsened to the point that there is nothing left?
After consideration, a CVA would leave Anderson in control, whereas administration would take it out of his hands so I know which I would prefer.

And especially for Sluffy's benefit...

I heard from a reliable source that in a previous negotiation, Anderson was so obnoxious and greedy that the buyer walked and commented that they would rather buy us from the insolvency practitioners in administration than have to deal with him. Whether or not that particular ship has sailed we can only speculate, but whilst Anderson remains in control I feel that administration is an inevitability sooner or later.

WD40 has always worked for me.

Anderson allegedly negotiating with a buyer again last night so I was wondering if the rising discontent amongst the fans and the continued evidence of lack of quality on the pitch will in any way soften his stance as regards price/payoff?
Whilst the prospects of administration and relegation loom closer and closer the former would present both opportunity and threat to both buyer and seller, so maybe the dynamics of negotiation have changed a bit and we might actually get a result before Anderson finds another discredited car salesman to pass the club on to?

He's always talking to potential buyers he says, but like most things that come out of his mouth recently i won't believe it till i see it announced officially.

You know on the apprentice when it gets to the end of the day and they've still got loads of ice cream left and they start running about local business trying to flog it for 5 quid.

Now imagine trying to sell a football club in that way.

An absolute possibility.
