A tough one today as Bolton in 23rd place 7 points away from safety effectively 8 with the goal difference host Burnley in 2nd place gunning for an instant return to the premier league. The twin strikers andre gray and sam vokes have 26 goals between them whilst boltons clough and madine have just 10. Got to cut the supply to those two if Bolton are to pick up at least a point today. At least Bolton are at home where 21 of the 25 points have been picked up. Team news. Ben Amos, max Clayton, and now Dorian dervite all out injured long term, Liam trotter and David wheater are getting closer to being fit. Jay spearing and Emile heskey have been passed fit and Gary madine returns to the match day squad after being dropped for disciplinary reasons on midweek. The full 20 man squad for today is moxey, vela, feeney, spearing, Clough, rachubka, madine, derik, Davies, heskey, pratley, Silva, dobbie, Wilson, twardzik, woolery, walker, holding, campbell and danns.

Not much time for FL ratification, actual sale to go through,(paperwork signed and registered) and transfer monies to settle all debt.
Hope there is plenty of A4 paper in the fax machines, and plenty of 50p pieces for the leccy meter!

Will clever Trevor fail and become the fall guy in his first solo rescue job.
Will Ed escape in the secret survival pod will the SS be outed as bad guys. Tune in and find out in the next hilarious episode of Soap

We'll go into administration if it comes down to appearing in court before the deal is done. If Eddie doesn't do that, we really are in the $hit.

It is always possible we will go to court with nothing more than expectations of being wound up I'd then expect us to be sold very quickly to pay everything off to a name on a fax in Trev's back pocket.
This is us so expect anything to pop up between now and next Monday mornings breakfast pow wow. Now where are the numbers for that property tycoon and the oil geezer.

just to go over old ground, that debt that isn't really a debt is now a debt

I saw a rat with a Rentokil man in its mouth.
Funny how with what is going on the club is promoting the ST is now open rather than sorting itself out in preparation for the take over to be completed you know things like everything accounted for in the stationary cupboard timesheets present and correct and full details of all staff employed are accurate and ready for inspection.
Nah let's promote plan B the new Z edition part 3 that's the one with who is planning the Christmas party question in it nobody in the office wants to do it this year after the Nobbys Nuts incident so they are hoping the ST with its wealth of experience in organisation and money collections etc will take it on.
Mind you it could just be common sense to keep on the good side of the ST as their money may be useful come redundancy payments time.

Isaac, as all but one knows the debt has always been a debt. OH!!! hang on a minute isn't it being written off????
OH, I remember now Eddie still wants his snout in the trough.
If he had any other option he wouldn't want to write anything off but events didn't turn out as expected. No we got relegated and couldn't get back up to the top table, when no doubt he would once again start milking the club with excessive interest payments when the time was right.

As you were we go into court owing 180+m to Ed and touching 4m to that nice taxman unless things change.
Dean may need more than Sooty's magic wand to convince me never mind the FL he has enough capital to see out 12mths in whatever league we are in. Don't forget the club will owe Ed 15m as part of the deal on the cards if it goes ahead and the big debt is written off to be replaced by this new one.
Dean and SS can say anything they like to the FL to try and convince them he has plans to raise the funds required he can not show he has enough without further cash injections.
Going by the rule book to stop clubs getting in a mess it should be the men from the League say No. Something has to change a bit sharpish this week.
