When will the takeover go through? Council / Citizen Housing agree new Heads of Terms 26 June

DD will take 12+ weeks but that's a less pressing issue now decoupling is on the table

Oh…12+ could be 200…you have lapsed into politician mode…take the pills:-). Never add the plus, minus is great- maybe <14 weeks?

If anyone wants a pint I’m in Liverpool

What stage are we talking here?

I wouldn’t move it from the fridge- warm bubbly not good. At least you’ve bought it so moving ever closer :-)

There have been too many ups and downs to celebrate anything for me until it's done but I can't reiterate enough my thanks to Mr Cowan, Ms Firth, Sir Stanley, all staff and players and the consortium for even getting us this far.

I still maintain this is all part of a grand plan and look forward to hearing the big reveal

It will be less than 200.

 

[Cricko]

Some money will have to be decoupled from napsters wallet....

More chance of you getting that semi.

 

[kentblues]

It will be less than 200.

I guess I walked into that one- most unlike me…

Anyway of honouring Cllr Cowan at first home game of the season. VIP for the day or similar?

There may a few issues with conflicts with this, particularly if it was done by the club

 

[kentblues]

Any ideas what shade of blue the new kit is?

Red

 

[Holy Joe]

It will be less than 200.

I'm gonna book mark this post but hope I don't need it

Nice, my favourite

"Treating" (one of the electoral definitions of bribery) only counts if I'm buying you a drink

Legend!! I love the fact that you laughed at the thought of @Napster buying you a drink despite I suspect you've never met him. If you ever do you'll realise what an unrealistic proposition that would be.

@CllrDanielCowan Just two words for finally taking this by the scruff of the neck and dragging it [almost] over the line.

Thank you!

Agree - but maybe something along the lines of the club having certain matches where they provide the council with a meaningful number of tickets for disadvantaged kids and their parents/foster parents/ carers. Such schemes have a strong social care dimension and perhaps that sits well with council objectives? Only an idea after a few G&Ts so don’t shoot me.,,

I have much better hair than this bloke. I once featured on the "politician's hair" twitter account.

Main thing here is that you have better hair than Rat Martin !

Anyone around Bolton area today up for a pint ?

 

[Chrisb]

I ------- love this club, when you clearly don't.

We've agreed Heads of Terms (the principles under which we will test a proposal through due diligence).

The club still need to work with COSU on completing the sale but this is a positive step.

Many thanks for the time and effort that has been put into this - so many of us are grateful to finally see this saga coming to an end and for some of us (myslef included) this has been a LONG time coming.

As my local councillor I can assure you that when the local elctions come around I know which box I shall be ticking.
