And Bolton late paying wages too (again). But it's OK because serial bankrupt Bassini (back from his 3-year ban for financial wrongdoing) has lined up a takeover bid for them.

Club staff also threatening to strike at the weekend, which would mean even if they get an extended stay of execution on Wednesday, they would be unlikely to get a safety clearance for ha game in time and would fail to complete the fixture.  Surprised Jed hasn't raised his head on this one.

If only they'd go back to losing matches as well.

Bolton now had a prohibition notice served on them, means they can't use the stadium until they sort out safety issues (presumably ensuring they have paid stewards etc)

(Bury) The last action is a Loan being secured against their Football League income!  That might suggest they raised the funds to clear whatever was going to end-up with a Winding-Up order, but using their FL income sounds pretty drastic as a security.  Using future income rights and not an asset is worrying and would probably hint at having no assets left to secure against.

Served by a players Agent it would seem.
The money they secured in March is from a bridging loan specialist, looking ropey.

Not strictly correct, from the local reporting it suggests that they can hold the games but they will have to be essentially behind closed doors affairs.

There is also a suggestion that this might put the club in breach of contract with season ticket holders.....

But never fear, its not Kens fault OK!!

The first part about the buyers or non-buyers is reminiscent in some ways of Holt in his Friday Statement heyday; the bit about the "well, I might not have paid them but it's only a few times, and only a bit late and they're all shit anyway" is breaking new ground though.
