Well this aged well. Don’t we all look like nice reasonable people. Tut tut.... Bolton lived beyond their means so **** them.
pot, kettle, black. We look rather silly now.
The karma fairy is dumping loads on some of these guys

Listen mate, as I'm not Inspector Clouseau, I've no idea if you're a genuine Tic, or a Trotter.
If it's the former, then maybe I should owe you an apology ................... cos I think it's the latter ................ in which case, nah, don't bother with the morrow .......or any other day.

There was some pretty nasty stuff written on here when we were going through the mill and to be fair we were something of a laughing stock but now you can perhaps appreciate the other side of the coin. Wanderers were backed by a lifelong fan in Edwin D and at least he did the decent thing and wrote off most of the debt which he personally built. He also stepped in to save the club with a last minute £5m loan to pay HMRC during Anderson’s time but sadly died shortly after on holiday leaving Anderson to cause his mayhem. Yes we spent way above our means but what a period that was. You didn’t spend big but you did spend and the club was having to be supported too so you can’t claim to be faultless. Hopefully your debts and running costs are low enough to encourage a buyer to take them on and I genuinely wish you luck on that. I don’t want you to be another Bury so despite the hacking you gave us I hope things turn out positively as they seem to have for us.
But again the two cases are poles apart. The only thing in common is poor owners.There was some pretty nasty stuff written on here when we were going through the mill and to be fair we were something of a laughing stock but now you can perhaps appreciate the other side of the coin.

Think Bolton are in for a very good season Warren looking at some of the players you've signed. I know there's a lot of frees but they must be on top whack league two wages. Does it concern you where this money has come from and are you signing all these lads prior to salary cap implementation? Not intended as a dig, genuine question.
Gives hope for us in twelve months at least (maybe, hopefully, who knows)

I know what you mean so we should all be congratulating Barnsley for their great escape.And on the topic of any nasty stuff written on here about our situation last year, look it's football, there are rivals and everyone loves to chat shit and no one wants to have to take it back and many Bolton fans would look at this as karma or whatever. I don't see it that way.
End of the day, there will be insensitive comments, that's life you're going to get offended, whether it's Wigan, Bolton or Barnsley, whoever the fuck you want.
I think everyone can take abuse about an actual game of football in return for dishing it out when the time is right.
What people are less tolerant of is relishing the misfortune of others (i.e. administration) and I think that's down to people not understanding the tenuous line most clubs are treading on and that this situation could happen to any club outside of the established elite.
People want to rile up their rivals but when it comes to the very existence of a club, where people's jobs are on the line, people's passions. It's easy to see how it all becomes toxic.
I think everyone could do with being a bit more empathetic about other clubs but that's not going to happen because it doesn't matter until its your club thats in the shit.
So on the topic of trust - How open was Stanley Choi when he came in? Was there plan to develop, was he just gambling on getting promoted and if it didn't happen was this always his plan? I don't know.
This won't be popular however if IECs only objective was to gate crash the prem why invest in the academy (and the big tele ?)None of us know for sure .....as the shithouse never actually set foot in the place....not once.
It looks like he thought he could achieve Premiership and the money it brings with a certain outlay....when he realised it was more expensive than he thought and that after dropping a relative fortune (small in comparison to many Championship clubs) we were relegation candidates rather than even play off ‘possibles’ ....his arse dropped....and he then set about constructing this elaborate “bullshit sale“ of the club linking it to an absurdly usurious loan to try and get money back ...(we think)...Whether that loan is any longer in force is the subject of some extensive and agonised debate ....the Admins seemingly think not.... but opinion on the subject is divided ?
I know what you mean so we should all be congratulating Barnsley for their great escape.
