I knoe this is the wrong section technically, but complete madness! Bolton's game vs Brentford tomorrow called off, as players refuse to play due to not being paid. What an embarrassment. Could take a big turn around for Bolton to be competitive in this league next season. Seems the owners are a shambles. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48067603 |

They will get bought out, spend their millions, win the league & in 10 years be back.
It’s always the same clubs doing the rounds

Surely they should forfeit the game then? Following the failure of Bolton Wanderers to provide formal confirmation of its ability to meet its obligation to fulfil its Championship fixture against Brentford FC on Saturday (27 April), the game will not go ahead as planned. Earlier on Friday, the playing staff at the Club issued a collective statement confirming that they had decided not to fulfil the remaining fixtures of the season unless they received monies owed to them. As a result of these disappointing developments, the League has been forced to suspend Saturday’s fixture and under EFL Regulations, the Club is now deemed to be guilty of misconduct and will be referred to an Independent Disciplinary Commission. The EFL Board will now consider the matter of determining whether the fixture will be played or not. No further comment will be made at this time ———— Let’s see if anything happens, doubt it. |

They’ll come down next season and stroll our league just like last time.

Surely they should forfeit the game then? Failure to fulfill the fixture is an automatic 3-0 defeat and a fine for the club, isn't it?
I thought Bassini (who boasted that he is a "multi-millionaire") has taken them over. Not a good start under the new owner.
I've got no particular like, or dislike of Bolton, but yet another club who've managed to dodge the tax man as a result of living beyond their means.

If the players aren't being paid, then it's possible the staff who are vital to hosting matches, ground staff, security etc. are also not being paid? In which case it's more likely this is the reason their game has been postponed.

Sky Sports reported last night that the club has not been taken over yet they also said that Bolton could be thrown out the league ! Why cannot Bolton play there reserve/u23 team instead ? |

I reckon some of our players have been on strike, since last August.

In which case it's more likely this is the reason their game has been postponed. I think that was the case a few months ago when a game was nearly called off due to 'regular' staff having not been paid. From what I understand this time it's about the players who haven't been paid for months, the club has already had a big loan from the PFA to cover the December players wages. I think the EFL should reserve judgement on the punishment until the season has ended and the clubs ownership has been finalised. I'm not sure it would be fair to fine the incoming owner or have next seasons team (and supporters) having to cope with a points deduction whilst the previous owner who has caused all this mayhem walks away scot free. |

I suspect none of them have been paid either Henbury. If the first team say they won’t play then they will expect the stiffs and yoof to fall in line in solidarity. |

They've two fairly meaningless games to play, Brentford and Notts Forest, so I doubt the EFL/FA care and will just award the games 3-0. It would be nice if Bolton started next season with a points deduction, assuming we're still a Div 1 side. |

Even so they should just guarantee all the money, get the games played, and treat Bolton as an administration case. |

Oztumer has not had much game time this season - usually on the bench. Strange that a player with his talent cant get into a struggling side.

I bet if we had him here, despite everyone wanting him, as soon as we lost a game everyone would be complaining that he wasn't digging it out on our 18 yard line. |
