Only 14 contracted players left though and some are 3rd year scholars. What does that mean, exactly?
2nd year scholars? Brockbank? Earing? Turner? Taylor? Buckley (not sorry if he's gone). Who else is missing?
That million the preferred bidder has promised to put in wont go far.

I think the £1m is just to pay wages and ensure the club runs solidly until the new owners properly get hold of things Westy. Great news though and we can now hopefully look forward to better times and hopefully better footballl too with Parky's replacement.

Looks like Football Ventures then!
No Bassini - thank goodness.
Also - Whites63 - you'll be happy. The Times are reporting that Parkinson is out and David Lee to be new manager.

David, if that's true about Parky and David Lee, then happy would be an understatement. I'm in two minds about Parky as a man. On one hand I totally respect the way he has conducted himself through all the hassle he's had to put up with but on the other, he could easily have walked into a job somewhere else, especially after our promotion year. I was also disappointed when he completely disappeared during the players strike. At the end of the day though, it's his dreadful excuse for football that I couldn't stand any longer and I'm sure if DL does take over as the Times quotes, then I can't wait for next season to come. Personally I'd change the name of the header from "The end is near!!!" To "The Beginning is here".

Personally I'd change the name of the header from "The end is near!!!" To "The Beginning is here". It's certainly what the Times are saying. Main points from them are:- - Football Ventures (Basran, Brittan, Thomas, James) taking over - Parky will be asked to leave - David Lee a strong contender for the job Along with you, I will be celebrating if next season - however hard it will be on minus points and few players - we have a manager who tries to play positve attacking football. We also may be able to keep our season ticket base if the manager goes.

Personally I'd change the name of the header from "The end is near!!!" To "The Beginning is here". Im sure you know my views but for the third time in a season Parkys squad have turned on him and gone on strike. His squad, and many of his favoured players have cleared off. On the week we were relegated Parky didnt do his interviews sending out Parkin instead. Yet hes still there? The amount of times he came out post match and said "ill take responsibility" one thing saying it and another actually doing it. Parky is entitled to moneys owed and to a wage as per his contract so i dont blame him for stretching this out but i cannot have that Parky is all about integrity and i do not think he has Boltons best interest at heart. How could he? Not a single player improved in his reign. Dwindling crowds. Whats worse is PP could probably have told his agent get me the Bradford job and he would have been happier and we sure would have been. But today if Carlsberg made football rumours....

I tend to go with the Times article mentioned by David OM. I did think it rather strange for DL to come out with such a strong comment with Parky still in place. I suspect that he has already been approached once FV were pretty sure they had succeeded in their bid for the club and maybe the article was to see what the reaction would be from fans about it through bulletin boards and fan sites. From what I see people have been entirely positive about it and in fairness a good many of us thought it should have happened well before now. Hopefully it will be confirmed tomorrow along with new professional contract offers for our young stars. I would have liked to see Doidge back too but with the transfer embargo that's now impossible, something else to hold against Anderson. Whatever happens, I'm just glad the situation has been resolved and we can look forward to the long road back to where we should be but in a more prudent and responsible way than previously. As long as Parky does go I'll be first in line for my season ticket too.

Jack Dearden on the podcast said there is absolutely nothing to worry about, deal will be finalised either during the weekend or early in the week. Not Anderson type talk. No bassini. Just a formality.
Just consider how long buying a house takes and think about how more complex a football business is. So a few days delay is only understandable. Weve waited since Feb. Lets not panic now.
