It rather begs the question how they managed to get their wage funding cleared by the FL?

I didn't realise that in all the time that Doidge was at Bolton, FGR were paying his wages. Bolton basically got a free loan for half the season with no outlay!

Ancient rivalries etc aside, this could very easily have been us a few years ago, and we may yet end up there again. The League's "they're just businesses, nothing we can do really" attitude to some of our most ancient clubs is a massive failure of stewardship. Hope Bolton get through this, preferably without Bassini

Bassini deal on the brink, players still not paid, League now talking about the Brentford game being played after the end of the season. I'd have thought they'd be rather more worried about whether Bolton can fulfil their next fixture as well.

I am not sure Ken is really in a position to be issuing deadlines.....

I like the way the EFL have been taking pot shots at the club for not fulfilling it's fixture with Brentford and then not scheduling it this week.  What are they supposed to do - the current owner has all but done a runner and the accounts are frozen with an adjourned Winding-Up order hanging over the business.  The proposed new owner should pass a fit for anything test and the EFL can't sign him off in time anyway, the players and staff have not been paid for nearly two months now, the club doesn't have a safety certificate for the ground, or any players being paid to play the match.

They just seem paralysed by the fear f having to expunge Bolton's results for the season, throwing the promotion and relegation races into potential chaos.  There is a real chance Bolton don't play either of their remaining fixtures as a minimum here.

Power Out.
