RIP Mr Davies their own Sir Jack I suppose.

Bloody hell talk about timing no wonder it's all up in the air, I think Gartside passed away around the time they were last being threatened with admin or something.

Wrote off 171 million in loans and left 15 million in, hell of a contribution but odd he left it in such an odd situation after all that commitment.

RIP fella.

Nah, Vince is sinking a ridiculous amount of his own money into this XFL nonsense. Can't see him being interested buying a (real) football team, let alone Bolton. 

I thought that went under years ago. There was a 30 for 30 documentary on it.

Yeah, he's bringing it back in 2020.

Just reading through the whole thread it's striking how the level of debate on the site in general has deteriorated since 2014, but hey that's progress.

Bolton won't go out of business, clubs like ours always survive. But if they go into admin and subsequently get relegated its party time for them in league 1

Lucky swines!

Don't be shy, start a debate then? Incidentally, I don't think that's true, but to each their own....

I think there’s still some excellent debates on here, just seems to be less of them these days. An increase in traffic doesn’t seem to have led to an increase in contributors.

Hopefully for him he won't go down the WWE route like last time with daft fake stories and so on, and actually does it as a sport. Still, the NFL establishment will use their monopoly to kill it off.

We've been too polarised for too long. Too much point scoring. Too many positive/negative debates. It'll take a while for the board to settle. And so many people no longer attend matches on the regular basis they did before. People like me who don't attend don't comment as often.

I’m in the same boat I haven’t been for over a year so I’ve basically become a lurker. On Bolton’s debt I do think it’s when rather than if they hit another financial hurdle they’ve no other assets they can sell or mortgage
