    A £143 million loan from a wealthy benefactor

    underwriting their debt. Looks like they are going **** or bust this season before their parachute money runs out.

    Hope its bust.

    They'll just add it to the massive debt they already have and the footballing authorities will just sit idly by as usual and do nothing. They trying to buy their way back into the premier league. Fair play, yeah right.

    They have a very rich owner, who just keeps underwriting the losses. Great to see FFP alive and well

    Aren't they meant to be signing Beckford today? Either way it looks as if Craig Davies' days there are numbered.

    Just what I was about to say. Beckford is having a medical today, according to the BBC.

    Numbered like Buttercup at Norwich? Numbered like Vaz Te at West Ham? Seems leaving us you eventually end up with numbered days.

    I hope it spells the end for Craig Davies and he ends up somewhere like Walsall(no offence to Walsall).

    While it's harsh I can see his point. It will take for a big club to go bust before other clubs start acting more sensible.

    Re: A £143 million loan from a wealthy benefactor

    Why would he leave? Two years left on his contract. He doesn't even have to work for a living. Turn up for training, look interested - will suit him down to the ground.

    Re: A £143 million loan from a wealthy benefactor

    They can't force him out, he has a contract. He could ask for a transfer to go and play football, but I don't think that is his main motivation.

    Re: A £143 million loan from a wealthy benefactor

    Not going on about the huge debt they owe but more phil gartside.

    The bloke is an odious ****.

    Proper helmet.

    Wanted a closed shop premiership consisting of two 18 team leagues.. Mostly cos Bolton were skint and couldn't afford relegation.

    I can't stomach him. The ****.

    Aye.
    Just think, they could have earned 10 times less money on a short term contract at a club forever scratching around the bottom of the second tier in front of 7,000 fans.
    Awful career moves, leaving for a wage/contract that sets them up for life at a top flight club.
    And now their days are numbered (says who?) they are possibly going to fall through the divisions.
    Give me ******* strength. The hypocrisy on here is hilarious.
    I expect Stonesy will be next?
    Why not look back at their achievements for BFC fondly, then move on?
    A lot of our players can't win. They show ambition and leave, and that's wrong apparently. Or they stick around and it's because they are average and lack ambition, apparently.
    And your posts on DATM are cringeworthy, pal.

    Re: A £143 million loan from a wealthy benefactor

    I can see his point though. They are spending money they they are incapable of generating, on top of an existing huge debt. If they go bust, then they'd fully deserve it through their own reckless approach to finance.
