Anderson's backstory was not encouraging. In September 2005 he was disqualified from being a company director for eight years after his firm Professional Sports International Ltd, and seven other of his companies, went bust. The official Insolvency Service notice stated that Anderson had failed to ensure his companies paid VAT, then failed to cooperate with liquidators. At PSI, "Mr Anderson diverted/sought to divert PSI's funds by depositing them into a personal bank account in his own name and invoicing in the name of another connected company."
The notice stated that the Official Receiver had obtained an arrest warrant against Anderson when he failed to appear to be examined about one company's finances. "However the Tipstaff [court officer] was unable to arrest Mr Anderson,"

Think we all knew.
Ken is a crook no doubt. Being angry at Ken is natural but you leave your garbage out on the floor and youre going to attract rats and thats where the bigger blame lies.
Eddie should have given the club to a Boltonian if nothing else. I dont understand why he wouldnt help a supporters trust who clearly have more money than Kens magic 50p.
I dont understand how the FA can pass him fit and proper and not review that.
Hes now talking about more investors which to me suggest hes lost the deal.
I dont think anyone is at all interested in starting a match thread this week. Another blow.
Let at the end of a tunnel is an oncoming train.

Like you OM, I can not understand ED letting Anderson into the club, although in his defence, he probably expected to be around to keep a check on him. I suspect it was never meant to be a permanent thing anyway and was only until KA found a proper investor to take us on. Ken was effectively seen as a "free" administrator to Eddie. Things have obviously not gone to plan with Eddie passing and buyers few and far between. All the time the financial situation worsens and the chance of a buyer diminishes. Let's just hope this proposed sale does go through otherwise I really do fear the worst for our club.

Asked Iles about the players being allowed to terminate contract over non payment. Said 2 weeks and they are free to go.
If the accounts are frozen that wont happen so im guessing that payment will either need to be from Kens personal account - may happen, depends how close he actually is to a deal. PFA(still confused what happened in November) or asking for someone else to do it. Who would - I do not know?
All in all then theres good reason to suspect it wont get done. So who would stay and who would go and will be be able to complete fixtures. Categories i think are:
Wanting to move to a better club? Pawel Olkowski at a push. Early form suggest hes good enough at this level at least. None of the other players are worthy of a championship club. Marc Beavers may link up with Rangers as rumoured in the past.
Wanting to get out because they havent had a chance? Mark Little, Oztumber.
Happy to stay? Remi Matthews(just signed so assume he loves the drama) Gary O'Neil, Marc Wilson, Jason Lowe, Clayton Donaldson and Taylor. The soon to be retired basically.
The had enoughs anywhere else will do? Wheater, Vela, Ameobi.
And the rest i'd consider to be floaters. Could go with the majority or stay and hope it gets resolved and as bad as it is Bolton is still the highest level and best "payers" for thier quality - Alnwick, Hobbs, Murphy, Buckley, Noone, Magennis.
Ive excluded loans as they may not be in the same position.

You've also missed out our young players like Connel, Politic and Hall OM or is there a different system for them? They would be the ones I'd miss the most because they would hopefully form the basis of our team next year, unless of course the takeover goes through this week when all bets are off. An update on the position at least would be acceptable, the silence is deafening.

An update on the position at least would be acceptable, the silence is deafening. Missed those out as I dont know what the terms are. Are they first squad or development players. Is it the same ruling and Politic may be getting 100% wages from Neville and Co so may not apply. Also has hall played for us a few minutes, meaning he cannot play anywhere else. So it would be return to Accy or stay. Know which manager id go with.
