Still a classic

Will it be a sprint or a marathon?

 

I’m jealous. Bastards. It will get to point where every other club in the entire football (91 Clubs) league will have been sold at least once whilst we are still lumbered with the Allams.

 

Bolton have 3 prospective parties who have paid a non refundable fee of £25k to see the books (and who have also demonstrated proof of funds of c£25m), and anticipate it could rise to 5 before Fridays deadline! So as mentioned on here before, sold twice potentially while we've been up for sale.

 

Yes but the Allam’s aren’t the slightest bit interested in selling whilst the golden calf is still giving.

 

Don't you mean Tuc the biscuit?

 

This thread was a cracker until your lame biscuit puns.

 

You’re right.... it’s getting wafer thin now

 

Set of ****s one and all.

It's not about terrorism then...it's about who pays for path maintenance and lighting.

Can't agree? Split the ****ing costs then you ****s.

How many more years of this bullshit from the council and the SMC will we have?

 

What is it that you’re blaming the Council for here?

Only thing they did wrong was assuming they were dealing with reasonable people when they drafted the lease arrangements. That should have been much tighter.

However this current position is squarely the fault of the owners of SMC

 

For clarity the term SMC stands for Small Minded ****s.

You're welcome.

 

It takes two to tango.

If the other party is a **** then tough, but find a way or a compromise.

Hopefully we we will get more detail in paper on costings and the canard of 'terrorism will, exquisite irony, be blown sky high.

 

Nope
I disagree with you on this one
The council can’t compromise as the owners aren’t after any compromise that could be offered by them.

All on the owners this one

 

I'm not in the room - hopefully we will get some detail.

Stubborn unhelpful negotiators?

How about some enlightened bargaining or compromise then?

Some mediation or commonsense?

Like it or not, both partners are in a relationship with each other.Like they are in many other cities with a council-owned football ground.

Very easy to blame the stubborn unhelpful Allams, but have the council just thrown in the towel and said " Sorry not our fault. It can remain closed then."?

Would seem so..

 

All this played out ages ago

The lease allows the SMC to close it.

Only thing the Council could do (because the SMC won’t budge because...it’s the same Council that wouldn’t give them the ground) is try to have it listed as a right of way and they don’t feel they have the power to do that.

SMC would want compensation for use for anything other than clear times like Hull Fair, and also would pass all liability to Council

Original issue was a slack lease, Council’s fault, but now is just SMC at fault

IMHO

 

The Council could always put a gate at their end of the bridge and keep it closed on match days.

 

They could
But they’re not twats

 

Its also what Enob says to Elmo.
