Separate matter, but Bolton, who used the Covid Future Fund, withdrew the max £5mn available and rather than pay it back, they've diluted it into an 8% share holding for the Future Fund bank, which is basically the tax payer. Bolton Wanderers have been nationalised.

Bolton have spent a lot in transfer fees this season, so makes me feel a bit sick from that perspective that this is probably from them gaming the system.

One would assume that someone at the bank (which whilst govt funded is independently run) feels there is potential to achieve a return on their investment by taking shares, they have been converting these small loans into shareholdings in hundreds of companies they invested in.

8% of total holding is hardly nationalised.

"It was heard it occurred after Ranford had drunk between five and 15 vodka red bulls"

That's er... quite a range.

I’ve have the displeasure of encountering him in the past. As far as I know his ties to town only go as far as Power’s former head of security, I forget his name, the one who got cited (along with Power) for abusing officials. They are best mates. So I expect he’s had Power’s ear on occasion.

One way or another he’s a thoroughly distasteful little man.

That Dolphin guy still lords around the County Ground as though he is a prize attraction at Seaworld. He owns platinum security IIRC.

He does indeed, a long with an older fella who is always in the boardroom on match days, that i had assumed was Jason Ranfords father, but perhaps not.

Whatever he does, he seems to be involved with trouble.

Few assaults here and there & a bit of fraud before right.
Renting property from landlords then renting out the property he was renting. Taking the rent as ‘landlord’ and giving the actual landlords sob stories about family dying as to why he couldn’t pay rent.

yeah, he doesn't seem to be the most pleasant, but I guess that's between him and the law.

As long as its not a formal association with the club...Which it seems not to be

Gave up waiting for the club to contact me about ST refunds, despite several emails to ask what was happening. So decided to call the ticket office and they processed over the phone.

The stupid thing is that I’d have been happy with some credit on future home tickets, so I could take my Dad, but have now been given money back.
