bolton are in the mire.

Maybe this story highlights starkly the need for Norman S to be sensible in his budgeting for Port vale? A number of fans who constantly complain about the lack of money should think hard and long about encouraging the chairman to add to the club's debt--be warned the consequences can be dire as Portsmouth and now Bolton can testify to!

slightly off topic this but it made me laugh,,, a random quote off the Bolton site,,,Julian ***** was all over the pitch everywhere, it was as though we had 11 ***** on the field.

I wonder if his mum had to circumvent a swear filter when she gave birth .a random quote ragged by admin. dubious minded humourless so and so's.

£180m in debt,how on earth did they allow it to get that bad?

Downright bad management--that's why we should be thankful that Norman isn't likely to get us into too much debt--much as that frustrates quite a few people on here!

All started going pear shaped after we spanked them 5-0 in the FA Cup semi final.

 

Famous old club hope they survive although that level of debt is crazy for a club of their size.....

 

We only ever got to the FA cup semi-final in 1953/54 and we lost 2-1 to WBA!

It may be a long time ago, but for me it seems just yesterday I was watching on our recently bought Phillips television that famous Blackpool v Bolton FA Cup final of 1953.

 

For both 'Clubs today it's a different footballing challenge.

300 staff at Bolton may not be paid this month,that's an awful amount of staff for any football club?

Not really, they might all be stewards/kiosk staff/bar staff etc..

Phil Gartside is the Bolton Chairman. I know he is ill at the moment and I can have sympathy for his personal situation but I have no sympathy whatsoever for the problems he has helped to create at Bolton. He was the man who wanted the Premier League to be a closed shop with no promotion or relegation then later he decided he would rather have a two tier Premier League with no relegation from the second tier but bringing in Rangers and Celtic. If Gartside had his way the romance that is Bournemouth this season could never happen and Bolton, despite their ludicrous financial management of recent years, would remain in Prem 2 no matter how badly they performed on the pitch. Madness.

When the chairman has a mindset and logic like that then it's easy to see why Bolton have ended up 180m GBP in debt. Famous, storied club, hope they survive.
