KEN Anderson has produced a 12-point clarification of matters in the boardroom in a statement posted on Wanderers’ official site.

The chairman detailed a number of ongoing matters, claiming he is “relaxed” about his on-going negotiations to buy Dean Holsdworth’s shareholding.

He confirmed that interviews had taken place for the new head of finance position to replace Stoke City-bound John Pelling and that auditors Deloitte will be instructed to file overdue accounts for the financial year 2015 this month.

In an unprompted announcement he also confirmed that he had provided “additional funding” for the club in December and indicated that he would do so again this month for ongoing salary and PAYE demands due in the coming weeks.

His list of points read as follows:

1. Both Dean and I are directors of the football club.

2. The shares (excluding the five per cent holding held by supporters) are split 60/40 per cent between myself and Dean.

3. I am Executive Chairman and have a hands-on daily involvement with the management team and everyone at the club and hotel.

4. Dean is effectively a non-executive director.

5. Dean is still trying to organise the refinancing of the BluMarble loan to Sports Shield.

6. The club does not have a loan from BluMarble - it has a loan from Sports Shield. The terms of the club loan are different to those of the BluMarble loan to Sports Shield.

7. Dean and I did reach an agreement on me buying his shares, but there are one or two issues because of the BluMarble situation that Dean still needs to resolve. I am relaxed about the current shareholdings. As I have previously stated, there is no rush for me to become a sole owner (alongside the supporters’ shareholdings).

8. The club are in discussions with other lenders/investors about replacing the Sports Shield loan on better commercial terms.

9. Deloitte have been requested to submit the accounts to Companies House this month.

10. Paul Aldridge interviewed two candidates over the weekend as a replacement to John Pelling, the Head of Finance, who is off to Stoke City shortly. Both applicants are known to me and have also been interviewed by myself. We expect to make an announcement shortly.

11. I have met with several people who I believe will strengthen the board in the future and l hope to be able to provide you with further information in due course.

12. I personally provided additional funding for the club in December and have had to do so again in January. Unfortunately, Dean has declined to contribute any personal funds.”

Anderson added: “Hopefully, this information will be helpful to all our supporters and will mean that we can now all focus on the field activities in the immediate future.

“I truly believe that we all need to continue to get behind the team and management in the run-in without the financial and boardroom distractions of recent months.

“I can assure you that all the staff at the club and hotel are doing a great job and giving their utmost to get us back where we belong.

“We have a great team of people behind the scenes who never cease to amaze me. Your recent support meanwhile has made it all worthwhile and long may it continue.”

While the timing of Anderson’s clarification was a surprise to many, Whites fans have generally welcomed the chairman’s transparency.

The terms of the loan from Sports Shield BWFC to the club, as outlined in point number six, are subject to a confidentiality agreement and both Anderson and Holdsworth have declined to comment further when approached by The Bolton News.

It is also understood Anderson intends to change the public record at Companies House, which lists the shareholding between himself and Holdsworth as 50-50.
