One and only Wanderers lol

[Dragonwolf]

Bolton Wanderers set to be issued winding-up petition filed by HMRC

 

[Rufio]

I would feel sorry for them, but then I remember McGinlay.

 

[Direwolf]

Would'nt want them to cease to exist perhaps they can 'wander' about in the wilderness of the lower leagues instead.

 

[topcat99]

This situation seems to roll around every 6 months.

Wonder if HMRC are running out of patience

 

[1972 i began]

Agree with Direwolf.

 

[JadeWolf]

Can't wait for Nieve's vlog live from the courtroom.

 

[wwbug]

Perhaps they can resurface as Bolton United ( 2019) and then we can all be happy.

It won't happen but their relegation to Division 1 looks to be nailed on as they might have to release players to keep the bills down.

 

[Pessimistic Wolf]

I work in Bolton and have done very small bits of work supporting BWFC's Fan's Trust as part of my job. It really is a tremendously messy situation, chiefly due to an appalling owner who won't consider reasonable bids because he disbelieves bidders's proof of funds, but cannot afford to run the club himself. BWFC has had some great financial support from the EFL to keep their creditors off their backs, but unless it gets a huge cash injection from a new owner, the club (and by extension, the town, because BWFC's relationship with the town is not unlike Wolves and Wolverhampton) will really suffer.

I know a lot of Bolton fans through work, and am young enough not to think of McGinlay, so have no ill will towards them. From a footballing standpoint, don't really care about the success of the club, but liquidating it would be a disaster for the town and horrendous for the fans.

 

[Willie Wolf]

Wycombe...

 

[topcat99]

Are local businesses starting to boycott working for the club Pessimistic?

Bad situation when that starts to happen ( think Pompey)

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Has the tax man ever wound up a club? This thing seems to happen around football somewhere every year but the clubs seem to survive somehow?

I don't know about the tax man winding up clubs, but Newport County and Aldershot both went out of business with a few years of each other. Whether that would happen to a 'bigger' club remains to be seen.

 

[Titch]

If they go bump, they will just start up again in the lower league's and that's fine by me

 

[Incognito]

Nah they should come back as Notlob...

Not sure the ins and outs, but HMRC was heavily involved with Rangers.

Trotters Independent Taxdodgers?

Pay as you earn tax they went after Rangers for.

Refused the CVA so basically, they reformed as a new club.

 

[rincewind]

I will recover from the depths of despair this news has caused me

No, they haven't.... and "petitioning for a winding up order" effectively means nothing. It literally means they've been told they need to pay their taxes. The process takes forever, and if any money is coming in in the meantime it will be forever postponed.

Likely outcome is Bolton will probably enter into a Time To Pay arrangement and gradually clear the debt over time.

 

[The Professional]

Wycombe...

The flaw in the title.

 

[AndyWolves]

I feel sorry for the newer bolton fans who don't remember McGinlay and how he used to wheeled out every time.

I do remember so find it impossible to feel sympathy for a club who acted with so little class & decorum. It'd be like us wheeling out Muscat every time we played Norwich

 

[wolfgar]

There's really only one Wanderers obvs, but I do know a few decent Bolton fans. I was at that playoff horror show. I haven't forgiven them, but I hope they sort this out personally

A bit like FFP, a load of huff and puff and **** all happens?

Must have been the whoosh you heard as it went over your head. I will explain for you, it relates to their 'song'

 

[Deleted member 3518]

Only Bolton fan I know is @HowfenWolf, now an ex-Bolton fan thank God, wish them nothing but the worst.

 

[Deleted member 4152]

Hope they dissapear

 

[JOSWolf]

Should have loaned the ****ers Gladon!

 

[Pagey]

Hope they get it sorted personally, the fall all out for the whole area would be ****.
If all our "rivals" went we'd have no one left to play.
Yes McGinley was a ****, but look where we are compared to them, time to move on me thinks.

TIT FC.

I like it.

I hope so this is true. Let the whole inbred hillbilly town suffer.

Yeah, precisely.

Just take a look at the Gazette if you want to see how often this happens to companies.... literally thousands of new petitions per week.
