I can't really help it if saying what I think upsets people. If people choose to post then they have to accept that others might disagree with them.

I have never seen you or anyone else here as 'the enemy'. In your case, I generally feel disappointed at the superficial and poorly thought out nature of many of your posts.

Go on then, MT. What is the advantage? If Bolton go bust, the points that clubs have taken from them will be expunged. If they don't, every team in the division will get the opportunity to play their kids.

I think MT is making the point that every team who has played Bolton so far has had to play a collection of mainly kids for them to get a team out, however, if their takeover goes through then even though they will still almost certainly be relegated, they will be able to sign maybe only out of contract players, but experienced players who could/would make it a very different game to just playing against the kids, as the teams who played them early benefitted from.

The thing is WanChai that either the rules were different back when we were in trouble, or we gave solid assurances to the football league that we were capable of fulfilling our fixtures and also financially viable.
As has already been posted, we never had a match called off, either by the football league or just ourselves deciding we didn't want to play ,like Bolton.
Someone picked up on when I said a couple of weeks ago that I didn't want any team to go under, and they said they couldn't understand that, but my point is that by all means kick em out of the league because if ,for whatever reason, they can't fulfil their fixtures, but I most certainly don't want to see any team go bust, especially teams with the history that both Bolton and Bury have, but if they have to play their football in non league until they can regroup then so be it, but at the moment our division is being turned into what could become an unfair joke.

Millers 05 were not finacially viable.

Under Millers 05 and Denis Coleman we were allowed to play in a stadium that was unfit, with no facilities and porta cabins for changing rooms.

Not every team, Coventry drew 0-0 when they played them

If you have read my reply fully WanChai, I said "

I'm not trying to be clever with you as I post and read MM most days and respect your opinion, so I assume back then that we were allowed to play in a stadium that was unfit , with no facilities and porto cabins for changing rooms?

Ah don't be like that kerr. It was only a bit of soft on my part hence the smiley. In fact, I have been nodding in agreement with many of your views lately.

You challenge what people say at times, as is your right but it can come across as being a bit pedantic but the nature of the "beast"
that is yourself makes it more understandable. You wouldn't be the kerr we all know and love if you didn't. Note I have put beast in inverted commas by the way.

Enjoy the sunshine sunny Jim.

How rubbish must the have been on the day

Further to my previous statement and to clarify absolutely the position, Football Ventures (Whites) Limited (FVWL) are the only bidder to have satisfied the full criteria of the sale process and that remains the position.

Despite persistent but false rumours in the media and on social media, FVWL are the only party to have met these criteria including, but not limited to, providing proof and source of funding and having satisfied the EFL's Owners and Directors Test throughout the Administration, dating back to May 13.

I hope this clarifies the current position.
