KING KENYON ?????

Peter Kenyon is making a last-minute bid to buy Bolton Wanderers after his Newcastle United approach collapsed, according to The Sun.

Kenyon, the former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive, was said to be working with an American group to acquire Newcastle from owner Mike Ashley.

But the newspaper claims he has now turned his attention to another club with ownership problems in Bolton.

The report comes after another group, fronted by Parminder Basran, ran into difficulty after agreeing a £27 million deal for the struggling Championship club.
Whether or not Kenyon will fare better than Basran, however, remains to be seen.

Bolton have been given a deadline to ensure Saturday's game against Millwall can go ahead, according to The Sun.

The Trotters' training ground was closed this week as club staff continued to go without pay. 

Kenyon, who grew up in Tameside, Greater Manchester, is said to have worked closely with both Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle's local rivals, Middlesbrough, since leaving Chelsea.

Nothing will come of it.

SLUFFY, I've already started this thread.

POWER broker Peter Kenyon is making a last minute bid to buy crisis club Bolton Wanderers.

The former Manchester United and Chelsea supremo, 65, has stepped in with a late move for Wanderers - just days after seeing a bid for Newcastle United collapse.

Basran has provisionally agreed a £27 million purchase but they found extras and other financial snags that made them draw back.

Kenyon will still have to offer a price that Anderson accepts and also hope that the major creditor, the family of late owner Eddie Davies, also accept.

The Davies family want the £5 million loan to the club repaid and are also looking for a settlement on other cash now and in the future that they think they are owed.

Seems I was a minute quicker than you Cajun but I've merged my thread into yours anyway.

Cheers!

Let's hope it becomes a very important thread for the future of our club.

But don't hold your breath.

Wonder if the "American group" is Ron and his buddies? That would be a coup and if they have theoretically enough dosh to but Newcastle from Ashley it sounds promising.

It's not necessarily the same group that wanted Newcastle, Nixon reckons Kenyon is a broker and works for a number of money men.

What a load of old rubbish

Any interest from anybody at this stage can only be good, desperate times. Fingers crossed

Perhaps. I read the "was working with a American group to buy Newcastle' and the "now turning his attention to Bolton" as being linked.

This transcript was leaked by Nixon this morning. Doesn't make for good reading really. 

American group : Peter how are ya!
Kenyon: good good listen I've got another club lined up.
American group: oh great Peter who?
Kenyon: Bolton 
Kenyon: hello? Hello?
