I suppose it's not as black and white this as it's portrayed. I suspect the players got paid some bonus, but not all of it. Similarly, I suspect Amos got some of his wages but not all he was expecting.

That way players could say "they hadn't been paid"

Tonight and tomorrow will see us welcome in the region of 60,000 visitors for The Killers and Little Mix shows and as chairman, I am very proud that major events such as these have returned to Macron Stadium after a long absence.

This has been a monumental effort by all the staff of BWFC and Bolton Whites Hotel and I am sure you will join me in expressing our sincere gratitude to them for all their hard work and long hours to ensure a smooth and successful operation.

You only need to see the stadium as it currently looks to see the transformation. I’m sure there will be plenty of imagery available over the course of the weekend.

The amount of work that has gone behind the scenes has been truly remarkable. We’ve had to liaise closely with the concert promoters, the local council, transport and traffic agencies, coach and bus companies as well as many other bodies.

Alongside their regular duties, our staff have gone above and beyond the call of duty to put our venue back on the map as a major event venue.

This will augur well for the future and enable us to drive our revenue streams to ultimately benefit the football club.

I know that many of you will be attending these concerts with your friends and family and I hope that you all have a great time.

Regarding football matters, I would like to welcome Pawel Olkowski, who joined us a couple of days ago.

He has a tremendous pedigree and is a Poland international, and we are delighted to have him in the squad for the coming season.

We are also talking to several more players at the moment and we hope to be in a position to announce some new signings next week.

Finally, I know I said I wouldn’t be making a comment on this matter, but in a bid to quell the speculation in the media and social media, I would like let you all know that I have a meeting with the PFA scheduled for next week.

I will of course update you once I have had the meeting.

Kind regards,

Ken

People saying on social media that parking is £20, surely that can't be true.

I'm sure it'll be worth it LT, you don't want to miss the chance of throwing your y-fronts at Little Mix do you.

If people will pay it, then whoever owns the car park (Prescott?) will charge it.  You can also park at the local school, my old secondary, St Joseph's for £5 as long as you dont mind the walk.  I'm guessing a lot of people will just park in Asda's car park.

Tweet from Iles just now - PFA have confirmed a meeting will be held with #BWFC chairman Ken Anderson next week. Representatives from the squad and coaching staff will also be present.

Linking in with his earlier tweet of 3 hours ago - Ken Anderson will meet with the @PFA next week. Hopefully that's a positive sign of progress. #bwfc

From the video after the Halifax match, Parky looks really down. Really pissed of with the shenanigans. Who can blame him?

As I’ve mentioned on previous occasions, I will always endeavour to be open and transparent and to keep you updated on matters concerning the club.
A meeting has today taken place between the PFA and the football club and I’m pleased to say that an agreement has been reached with all parties.
We are still very active in the transfer market and are looking to bring in several new faces before the season kicks off. It would be inappropriate for me to mention any names until the deals are done but what I can tell you is that we’ve put in a six-figure bid for a striker and are talking to a number of other players. As was expected, everything is taking longer this year because of the World Cup, but we hope to be able to announce further signings shortly.
Again, once deals have been confirmed they will be announced officially on the club’s channels.
I would also like to keep you updated on matters concerning investment into the club. I want to make it clear that we have never proactively approached any party or sought to sell the club.
However, not surprisingly we are regularly being approached by third parties interested in investing or buying the club. As I have previously stated, I will of course only entertain any serious bids that will ensure the long-term future and stability of the club.
Recently, we had long and detailed discussions with a Middle East-based group who showed a keen interest in the club. However, they ultimately decided to buy a club in the Middle East.
Another locally based person, who had previously made an offer, once again showed a keen interest. However, when he supplied us his proof of funds, the documentation used was found to be fake and no further discussions will take place with this particular person or his professional advisors.
An Asian-based consortium have also failed to provide proof of funds and discussions have consequently been terminated.
Discussions are still continuing with another party and I will of course keep you updated.
Even in the last couple of days we have again been approached but I want to emphasise that we will only entertain bids that are beneficial for the long-term future of the club.
It was good to see the players in action at the weekend with a victory against Halifax Town and after a behind closed doors friendly with Morecambe this afternoon, which ended up in a draw, you will be able to see them take on La Liga side Girona at the County Ground, Leyland, this Saturday at 3pm. You will need to buy your tickets in advance for this fixture as capacity at the ground will be limited so please click here if you’d like to attend.
Season tickets are still on sale and with just a few weeks remaining before we get the Sky Bet Championship campaign underway, they remain the most cost effective way of watching Wanderers during 2018/19. Please click here for more information.
The season starts on Saturday 4 August when we travel to The Hawthorns for a game against West Bromwich Albion, and throughout the month of August we’ve got some key fixtures to kick off our campaign. We face Bristol City the following Saturday for our first home game, before taking on Leeds United in the Carabao Cup (Tuesday 14 August). A trip to Reading follows on Saturday 18 August before we end the month with two successive home games against Birmingham City (Wednesday 22 August) and Sheffield United (Saturday 25 August). Your support as ever will be crucial as we aim to get off to a positive start.
Stay tuned to the website and our social media platforms over the next couple of days, as we’ll be launching our new away kit. If you thought last’s season’s was great, I think you’ll be even more impressed with this year’s offering!
The Killers and Little Mix concerts took place last weekend and were a massive success for the venue with over 60,000 people attending both nights.
My sincere gratitude goes out to all the BWFC, Bolton Whites Hotel and Bolton Wanderers Community Trust staff who worked tirelessly throughout both concerts and we are looking forward to announcing more concerts in the future.
We are looking forward to welcoming the Rugby League Challenge Cup semi-finals to Macron Stadium on Sunday 5 August.
It is absolutely vital that we continue to stage events of this scale and at the same time increase the number of season tickets, commercial and hospitality sales, as the revenues are essential in ensuring that we continue to make further progress in operating the club and hotel in a commercial and prudent manner as we have strived to do over the last couple of years.
Finally, following on from the recent ‘An Evening With Paul Gascoigne’, Bolton Whites Hotel are delighted to announce that England’s hat-trick hero from 1966, Sir Geoff Hurst, will be holding an evening in the Lion of Vienna Suite at Macron Stadium in November. Tickets are now on sale for this very special event and you can find out more information by clicking here.
Kind regards,
Ken
