Neil Lennon: @OfficialBWFC "Coaches using their own money to help pay some staff wages"


Bolton's Neil Lennon on the staff who haven't been paid " If anyone deserves to be paid its these people, they absolutely love the Club "

Bolton's Neil Lennon " I've got staff struggling to make ends meet at the minute we've had a whip round, just to keep them on board"

This is scary stuff indeed, makes you wonder if this could be in our future.

I feel for their fans I really do.

Fair play to Lennon for sticking with them a lot of managers would've jumped ship a long time ago.

Maybe dialog with tan is the future and not hounding him out then ? He's made mistakes hopefully he's learnt from them

Has to be. If Tan pulls the plug tomorrow then by the end of February we'd be another Bolton W.

I hope VT is looking at Leicester City as a way forward. Foreign owners who had a rough start but learned lessons quickly and got it right at the second bite of the cherry.

And of course they wear 'lucky' Blue ;)

I also believe that Tan knows a hell of a lot of fans dislike him so much that he could almost be hounded out.

Ceri,

Very scary stuff indeed.
Our debt is virtually all to one person Vincent Tan


He's created most of our debt and run our club so unprofessionally, now all he wants is his money back.

Wise words but too late I fear.Theres always a chance that the actions of a few could screw the club long term.

This is shocking, people have bills to pay, family's to look after.
Maybe the Premier, and I say the Premier because of the riches they've acquired should set up some type of fund to pay people the wages they desperately need. It could be repayed at a later date once the club is back on its feet.

Honestly believe Lennon would have been a good fit for us when he wanted the job pre-Slade

Cos he done a great job at Celtic and is showing a lot of loyalty to Bolton now.
I just like the way he sets up his sides. Lets be honest anyone would struggle at Bolton with the difficulty their in at the moment, and for some reason i still believe he will save them unless they get his with admin and a points deduction

Football has gone stupid.Are we really going to condone what has happened to our game ? People on crazy wages.Fans asked to pay stupid money for tickets/ beer/coke/hot dogs ? Quite frankly the capitalist mantra has blossomed in football f**k the mugs in the arse..they are too stupid to think for themselves. At least the Romans has "bread and games" and it was free!!

This is where financial fair play should be having an influence. Players on Huge money compared to Joe Bloggs. The clubs should be legally obligated to pay the wages from the bottom up, starting with the tea lady or programme seller. They are the ones who are more financially fragile.

After all, the ones partly to blame are the players, manager and board.

Sad to see a club with a rich history in this state. All down to money.

We all know tan has made mistakes, but never mind this could be our future, if tan hadn't bailed us out when he did this would have been us then without any doubt. :thumbup:

This.

I would hope that staff who are loyal to the club are looked after by the league when stuff like this happens.
