But some interest in bailing them out https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50338348
Fingers crossed for them.

I think it's actually the EFL trying to help them out, after all, they must lose money every time a game is played in that competition.  There is no way any club returns more revenue than the cost of putting the games on, and as for away games, I doubt the players walk.

Which would be a tacit admission that the competition is no good for the clubs they are supposed to be representing?

If there was ever a Cup you would welcome being banished from, it would be this "cup".

Football League disciplinary committee finally meeting to discuss what punishment Bolton should get for failing to fulfil fixtures last season. Just as they were getting close to 0 points too.

It needs to be meaningful to stop sides from just downing tools and not playing the last game or two - should be a minimum 6 points in my view, maybe 9.

They also failed to fulfil fixtures this season as well. Which should be another charge as well

Yeah sorry I phrased that badly, the hearing is about the fixtures this season and last, being considered as separate charges but in one hearing.
