I didn't realise it was Nick Mason, Who stepped in to save Bolton, I visited his house the other week wanted him to sign my Pink Floyd LPS, had a look at his collection of sports cars, Ferrari's, Bughati's and Maclaren, althouth my favourite was a black Rover with its chrome, leather and walnut interior. If I new he was interested in football I would have asked him if he would like to buy his local football team, since he his worth 123million . Think I will be dropping him a line and knocking on his door again.

What I don't understand is why he would be interested in Bolton, he was born in London area and has spent many years living in Corsham, Rovers are his nearest league club.

Bolton are on the verge of 5 signings and expect them to be completed before Saturday. The farce continues. I mean, they kind of have to sign senior players. Of course. The farce lies in the fact several teams have been gift wrapped three points whilst we'll be facing an entirely different side who will be competitve I suspect.

Anyway I don’t know what his link is to Bolton either. You are right he was born in Birmingham moved to Hamelhamstead. I also don't understand why Bolton have not been docked points for the games they cancelled, One last season one this. I think league have been more lenient with them than with Bury. Bolton have had large debts for years at the end of 2017 there debt was 193 million. It appears that it is who you are that counts in football.

Surely the difference is Bolton had buyers with some serious money behind them but Bury had Alistair Campbell's son! Although I'll never understand why Bolton were forced to play their U23 players but Bury were allowed to call their games off.

I don't think the league was ever going to let Bolton fold they kept on extending the time they had to negotiate a deal and wanted them to play their games to keep them in the league. Bury were a little old club that were expendable and could be used as an example to other clubs. Bury had other offers but the league let them fold. It still hasn't answered my question why Bolton haven't been deducted more points for not full filling fixtures.

It still hasn't answered my question why Bolton haven't been deducted more points for not full filling fixtures. They both had the same deadlines. Bury had already been given the 14 day notice, that Bolton received on Tuesday. They had a further extension after that deadline. Bolton provided the paper work, to ensure they could play, Bury didn't. Bury took Truro city's manager and some of the Truro City player's, but as they didn't provide the necessary paperwork, thier games were postponed. Bury say they have a buyer, but they said that at the last deadline, to get an extension, but then the deal collapsed. Don't like seeing any club fold, but they had enough deadlines, the EFL did the right thing IMO.

So the new Bolton owners have taken out a £40m loan which has to be repaid in 3 years.
What an absolute f*cking disgrace

Bolton are attractive only because a newish ground and a Hotel comes with them. I would rather have Bury survived, Bolton have been up to their necks in debt for years

Seeing what's unfolded at Bolton is an absolute farce. To almost be out of business to then signing nine players, a lot of whom are Championship players no doubt on a fair wedge... EFL are a joke.

And a weekend off from L1; so that they can get to know each others names.
And just a thought, Bolton finished 20 points above Rovers best ever finish in L1

It still hasn't answered my question why Bolton haven't been deducted more points for not full filling fixtures. The lack of a points deduction for not fulfilling fixtures is really bugging me. Looking back I saw one club years ago was deducted two points for not fulfilling a fixture. Surely should be at least six points. If only two points for postponing a game is given to Bolton and they win the game when it is eventually replayed they would still be a point better off as they would surely have lost it if they had played it on the original date.
