Time for a whip round? ====================================== Bolton Wanderers' buyers must have £25m proof of fundsBOLTON Wanderers are up for sale - and potential bidders are being asked to show proof of funds for £25million. A marketing email has been sent out to more than 30 interested parties on behalf of club administrators David Rubin and Partners by valuers Hilco Global. But anyone who wants to buy the League One club will have to meet a set of criteria laid down in the document. The next owner of Wanderers will need to provide proof of funds worth £25m, which will include the necessary funding required by the EFL for two years. They must also put in another £25,000 to see the ‘data room’ – an amount only refundable if the bid proves successful. Any bidder will also have to provide proof to the administrators that they have passed the EFL's owners and directors’ test and had their business plan ratified. The top-line fee takes into account that interested parties also want to buy the Bolton Whites Hotel, which is currently in the hands of a different administrator. Potential purchasers must also sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement for the duration of the sale process. Joint administrator Paul Appleton said: "There has been substantial interest from the moment of our appointment on May 13. Over 30 parties have approached us and we will now begin the process of selecting those best positioned to make a serious offer for the club. "Speed is of the essence in this process and we are advising all those with a serious interest to provide information concurrently to the EFL in respect of their Owners' and Directors' Test in order to satisfy those demands. "Hilco have an outstanding reputation in this market and I am confident that we will soon have whittled down the list of potential buyers in order to find the best purchaser for the club and restore the standing of Bolton Wanderers." Forensic accountants have spent the last week providing a detailed analysis of Wanderers finances, which should make the process of buying the club more streamlined. Although there has been plenty of interest in buying Bolton the formal bidding process is only expected to begin now that the document has been sent out. www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/17657897.bolton-wanderers-put-up-for-sale-for-25million/

Bolton Wanderers' terrible campaign examined in fullOH for that sun-kissed August, when Wanderers had a Rolls Royce on the pitch and a song in their hearts. The 2,600 fans who flocked to West Brom and saw Yanic Wildschut’s last-minute winner had no clue what was to come as they danced at the Hawthorns. This was meant to be a new era. Aaron Wilbraham’s even more dramatic winner the previous May against Nottingham Forest had set the club free from its misery and finally there were new heroes to admire. Polish full-back Pawel Olkowski looked a steal, Josh Magennis snarled up front, Jason Lowe organised and Gary O’Neil defied time. contd... www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/17633556.bolton-wanderers-terrible-campaign-examined-in-full/

Not looking good for Bolton. Anderson is a complete c**t. Bassini looks dodgy too. Just hope they can finally get thru a take-over by someone hald decent. ============================================================= Bolton Wanderers: Legal battle for club explainedBy Ben Ransom - Sky Sports News North West reporter Last Updated: 15/08/19 2:59pm Bolton Wanderers can now be bought after a legal dispute A takeover for Bolton Wanderers can now be completed after a block on the sale was lifted, but you can understand why the fans aren't jumping for joy just yet. "It's been three-and-a-half years of hell really," Maggie Tetlow from the BWFC Supporters Trust explains. "It's been so traumatic for the fans, for the staff and for everybody involved with the club - just a complete and utter roller-coaster." The fact that I was speaking to her outside a court room tells its own story. Laurence Bassini has been in a legal battle with former Bolton owner Ken Anderson Around a dozen supporters joined a sizeable press pack on Wednesday to witness the latest round of an ongoing fight between Laurence Bassini, the former owner of Watford, and former Bolton owner Ken Anderson, the man behind Inner Circle Investments, which up until recently was in control of the club. Back in May, Bolton were put into administration and ever since, the administrators have been attempting to find a buyer for one of the founding members of the English Football League. Ken Anderson has threatened to put Bolton into administration unless Bassini paid him £5m They thought that had happened last Thursday when a deal was agreed and was ready to be signed for Football Ventures to complete a takeover. That was until Bassini filed an 11th-hour legal roadblock in the form of an injunction and prolonged the agony for the long-suffering Bolton supporters. Mr Bassini argued (and continues to do so) that the deal he agreed to buy the club from Mr Anderson in April still stands, and that he paid £1 for the transfer of the shares. On Wednesday, the court heard Mr Bassini's counsel accuse Mr Anderson of moving the goalposts in relation to the deal, when two weeks later Mr Anderson threatened to put the club into administration unless Mr Bassini paid him £5million for the club. In less polite language, Mr Bassini says he told Mr Anderson 'where to go' and his legal team continued to try to press ahead with the deal. But Bolton did go into administration and Mr Anderson's defence explained that the reason that takeover was rejected was because it was always "contingent on EFL approval". At that stage, he says Mr Bassini had not been able to satisfy the EFL's ownership test with regards to fitness or proof of funds. Bassini claimed to have texts from Former EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey Bassini claimed to have texts from Former EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey For his part, Mr Bassini claims to have a series of text messages from the then chief executive of the EFL Shaun Harvey confirming that he would pass fitness and funding. But that evidence is refuted in a letter written by the EFL this week confirming that at no stage had they given permission for Mr Bassini to become the new owner of Bolton. Although this was not a full trial of the legitimacy of Mr Bassini's claim, the legal jousting in court on Wednesday does lift the lid on what was clearly an extremely messy situation behind the scenes at Bolton towards the end of last season. It was a situation threatening the very existence of the club itself. Players and staff went months without pay, and on the pitch the inevitable slide towards relegation from the Championship was confirmed on April 19 when Bolton were beaten 2-0 by Aston Villa. As the situation grew increasingly bleak, the players felt they had to take action. Having not been paid since February, they voted to strike, and the final home game of the season against Brentford did not go ahead. The administrators in charge of Bolton immediately hailed the latest court ruling as "excellent news" after the judge lifted any restriction on them selling the club. A statement confirmed they are now in contact with all parties regarding the potential takeover to "progress to completion as soon as possible, and give everybody connected with Bolton Wanderers the good news they deserve". With just five senior players left on the books trying to claw back a 12-point deduction in League One - boy do they need it. www.skysports.com/football/news/11672/11785936/explainer-the-legal-battle-for-bolton-wanderers

Even the administrators look like they don't know what they're doing. Who in their right mind suspends a match without discussing with the other football league and the other team? ================================================================================== Bolton's League One game with Doncaster on Tuesday called offThe English Football League and Doncaster say they were unaware of the decision before Bolton's public announcement. By Matthew Treadwell Last Updated: 19/08/19 6:27pm Bolton's home game with Doncaster has been postponed Bolton’s Sky Bet League One game with Doncaster on Tuesday has been postponed. The club were put into administration in May amid the backdrop of a proposed takeover by former Watford owner Laurence Bassini from Ken Anderson which turned acrimonious. Bolton have been relying on youth players to help fulfil their fixtures as administrators look to secure a buyer for the club. But amid concerns for the wellbeing of youngsters unused to playing regular first-team football, joint-administrator Paul Appleton has revealed they have had to call off Tuesday night's game at the University of Bolton Stadium. "It is with real regret and a deepening sense of frustration that we have been forced to postpone tomorrow's fixture against Doncaster Rovers," read Appleton's statement. "Whilst the possibility of EFL sanctions is obvious, nothing can be allowed to impact on the welfare of such a young group of players. With so many senior players injured or unavailable, the squad has performed heroically and deserves so much credit. "But after consultation with the club's medical staff as well as both academy and senior football management, it is obvious that to call on them for another match without an adequate break would be detrimental to both their welfare and development which cannot be allowed. "We were able to bring in reinforcements before the match against Coventry because the deal was so close to completion. "Now, following recent events, the legal position of various parties has altered which means a delay in completion. In this situation, it is very difficult to attract available players to the club. "I will be discussing the implications with the EFL but in the meantime, I would call on all parties involved with the acquisition of the club and hotel to end this intolerable delay and secure once and for all the future of Bolton Wanderers. "Further details on reimbursement for any tickets sold for tomorrow's game will follow." Both the EFL and Doncaster have voiced their concerns about the way Bolton handled the decision to postpone the match with just 28 hours notice. "The EFL understands the challenging position the Club currently finds itself in whilst negotiations continue over its purchase," A statement read. "However, it would have expected the Club to have first interfaced with the EFL, giving it an opportunity to consider the application to postpone, and consulted with the Club's opposition, Doncaster Rovers before making a public announcement. "The EFL remains acutely aware of the ongoing risks this challenging and complex situation has to the integrity of the competition." A Statement from Doncaster read: "Bolton Wanderers have postponed this game without the agreement of Rovers or the EFL, and we were surprised to learn of the news via Bolton's social media. "We have a lot of sympathy for Bolton's plight, but we've prepared for this game as normal and fully expected it to go ahead. www.skysports.com/football/news/11672/11789262/boltons-league-one-game-with-doncaster-on-tuesday-called-off

So now we have only 5 senior players, no manager and no assistant manager...
WTF are the administrators doing? In any wind-down, takeover or anything like that, it's fundamental to identify the key people that can keep things ticking over, and keep them on side
Not looking after key people in any business seems like another massive blunder ==================================================================================== Phil Parkinson resigns as Bolton manager Assistant manager Steve Parkin has also left the club By Dan Sansom Last Updated: 21/08/19 10:29pm
Bolton manager Phil Parkinson and his assistant Steve Parkin have resigned from the Sky Bet League One club.
Bolton have been in administration since May and Tuesday's match against Doncaster was postponed due to welfare concerns for younger players.
The club were deducted 12 points at the start of the season and fielded just three senior outfield players in Parkinson's final game in charge against Tranmere on Saturday - a 5-0 defeat.
A statement from Bolton on Wednesday read: "The club has received the notice of resignation from manager Phil Parkinson and assistant manager Steve Parkin and the matter is being considered."
Parkinson was the 15th longest-serving manager in the EFL, having joined the club from Bradford City in the summer of 2016.
He took charge of 156 matches during his time at Wanderers, leading the club to promotion from League One in his first season despite spending the entire campaign under a transfer embargo.
The 51-year-old then helped keep Bolton in the Championship having not made a single signing but his third full season was arguably the most difficult.
Problems with staff and player wages, as well as strikes and Ken Anderson's ownership, led to entering administration in May, by which time the club had been relegated back to the third division.
Parkinson agreed to stay on and assist the administrators over the summer but again encountered problems. As the sale of the club was delayed further, he was forced to field the youngest-ever Bolton line-up for the 0-0 draw against Coventry on August 10.

I'm with Sam on this.
The reaction the team got at Coventry was fantastic for everyone
========================================= 20th August Sam Allardyce questions Bolton's decision to postpone gameWANDERERS great Sam Allardyce has questioned the club's decision to postpone their League One match with Doncaster. The Whites pulled the plug on their fixture at just 24 hours' notice due to welfare concerns for their young squad, who have been thrust into senior action amid the off-field problems at the club. Wanderers are awaiting the completion of a takeover by Football Ventures which had been delayed further by a court order issued by Laurence Bassini, who has been attempting to buy the club. Boss Phil Parkinson named the youngest team in the club's history in their goalless draw against Coventry on August 10, and saw his side thrashed 5-0 at Tranmere on Saturday. And a statement issued via the club's administrators said making the youngsters play again on Tuesday night "would be detrimental to both their welfare and development". But Allardyce, who managed Wanderers between 1999 and 2007, believes their baptism of fire might help them in the future. He said on talkSPORT: "The levels of fatigue will be quite high because they are playing at a level they have never played before. "A crushing defeat at Tranmere would be mentally quite tough on them but when you have to grow as a player and a professional, things like this make you or break you and to stop them playing is a big blow for Bolton Wanderers, having overcome some real problems. "It will put the focus back on them by not playing a fixture that they should have played and I think that is a real shame. "They got a team on the pitch and they were playing and they got huge praise for the draw they got at home against Coventry, 0-0. "When you have got the opportunity to play first-team football, which they never expected, then it would make them stronger and better players much, much quicker by this experience, even though it was a bad one. "If they had enough players they should play the game, if they didn't have enough players then that is a different story. "The welfare of what is my concern. "There are mental strains but that is what you have to conquer as a footballer and if you are good enough you're old enough."

As said, I'm with Sam on this one. People are too scared of being seen to be not politically correct. Least they could do is ask these 17-18 year old players if they wanted to play and what they think about it. Fair enough if as a group they said they didn't feel up for it. But if I was a 17 or 18 year old player, I'd be relishing the chance to play and the opportunity to give everything for my club. It could also lead to a big break thru. These are not little kids, they're young adults. Give them some credit. Particularly those who are actually 18 and legally adults. ================================================================================================== COMMENT: Why future-thinking Sam's comments are out of date SAM Allardyce was way ahead of his time guiding Wanderers to success in the Premier League era but his comments on Tuesday night’s postponed game against Doncaster Rovers looked decidedly out of date. The man who brought Bolton – and so many others – kicking and screaming into the 21st century with his use of sports science took a dim view on cancelling the game to protect the welfare of young players who had been fast-tracked into the senior set-up. Phil Parkinson’s administration-hit team had just three fit senior players – Remi Matthews, Luke Murphy and Jason Lowe – plus 24-year-old James Weir, who had missed more than a year of football before being pushed into four back-to-back 90-minute games at the start of this season. "When you have got the opportunity to play first-team football, which they never expected, then it would make them stronger and better players much, much quicker by this experience, even though it was a bad one,” he said of the potential impact of a 5-0 defeat at Tranmere Rovers. "If they had enough players they should play the game, if they didn't have enough players then that is a different story. "The welfare of what is my concern. "There are mental strains but that is what you have to conquer as a footballer and if you are good enough you're old enough." Big Sam used to hand out a ‘Bible of Excellence’ to his players to ensure they remained in top condition, recovered correctly between games and maintained the highest possible standards. His research was meticulous, and the results were there for all to see. To suggest the 17 and 18-year-old players simply had to roll up their sleeves and play a fourth game in 11 days conflicts significantly with that ethos. When Allardyce ruled the Reebok roost examples of young players moving up from the old youth team or reserve grade were not exactly plentiful – but the graduation of Kevin Nolan at the tail end of 2000 and Ricardo Vaz Te in 2004 are perhaps our best shot. Each was phased into the team steadily, with a strong and experienced group around them. Which youngster could fail to learn when you have top pros like Jussi Jaaskelainen, Per Frandsen, Gudni Bergsson, Anthony Barness or Jimmy Phillips around you? Compare that to the uncertain first team environment the current mix of 17-year-olds Joe White, Callum King-Harmes and Sonny Graham or 18-year-olds Ronan Darcy and Eddie Brown are now stepping into. Are we really saying that in the name of fulfilling fixtures, a club in Bolton’s situation should have to risk the welfare of teenagers? Of course not. Even the EFL acknowledged the challenging situation faced by Wanderers, and morally-speaking, the club’s decision to postpone the game was correct. Had the issue been forced to the fore by a major injury we would have wasted no time in questioning the club’s attitude to safeguarding. There has to be a line drawn, however, and that is why I expect the EFL to think hard on what precedent has been set here. This situation is a unique one – but the way football is heading outside the Premier League, you can bet your last parachute payment it will not be the last time this happens. Bolton were allowed to start this season in administration, a risky strategy no matter how close the administrators said the club was to being sold before the Wycombe game on August 3. Once that game was played and the club remained unsold, the EFL had the opportunity to take the same line as they did with Bury – but declined to do so. A countdown clock was started 12 days ago at the Shakers which expires at 5pm on Friday and signals the end of their stay in the Football League. A quite frightening thought. Wanderers, meanwhile, were told to press ahead, play the kids if necessary. They drifted through their opening few league games, raising question among League One owners and managers about what it has done to the integrity of the competition. The decision to postpone Tuesday night’s game with just over 24 hours’ notice was done with eyes wide open. Yes, the club pointed to guidelines in the Premier League’s much-vaunted Elite Player Performance Plan to back-up their argument, but they knew they were never going to get the EFL’s blessing at such a late stage and must have realised what an inconvenience it would be to fans of both clubs. www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/17852385.comment-future-thinking-sams-comments-date/Read more: bigmango.boards.net/thread/2022/bolton-wanderers-thread?page=4#ixzz5xJVmmxE3

Are your neighbours Bury doing any better? Hard times in that area. They're doing worse. Haven't managed to play a match yet.
The way things are going a merger might be useful and they might be able to field 11 players between the 2 clubs

Bury's plight with EFL explained: How has it come to this?By Alan Myers, Sky Sports News Last Updated: 21/08/19 5:08pm Bury face expulsion from the EFL if owner Steve Dale is unable to prove they can pay off creditors and show adequate operational funding by Friday. But how has it come to this? The Shakers have been given a 12-point penalty in League One and are yet to play a league game this season, after failing to meet multiple deadlines over the past few months to clarify the club's financial obligations. Meanwhile, the EFL have expressed their constant dissatisfaction with Steve Dale's plan to solve the club's financial problems, meaning that the club could disappear from the Football League if they do not meet the requirements of their insolvency policy. Here, Sky Sports News reporter Alan Myers looks at the club's plight since Dale's takeover and what would happen if they would be thrown out of this season's League One... How did it get to this point? Current owner Steve Dale bought the club from previous owner Stuart Day for £1 in December 2018 and, following a period of due diligence, explained that the club's financial situation was much more dire than he had previously realised. According to the EFL, in December 2018 Dale started to fail to provide proof of source and sufficiency funding, including not being able to pay the players and staff, and this has happened repeatedly in the following months up to the start of the season. The EFL continue to request this proof of information which has led to the current situation of suspended games and ultimately, the notice of withdrawal of its share. What can happen to Bury? Bury already have a 12 point deduction this season as a result of an insolvency event taking place, relating to the approval of a Company Voluntary Agreement (CVA). In addition to this, the club have also failed to fulfil their fixtures so far: five league games, including Saturday's fixture at Tranmere Rovers, and one Carabao cup tie at Sheffield Wednesday which could - if they remain in the league - carry further possible points deductions as a result. With regards to the Carabao Cup, due to their first round game against Sheffield Wednesday being suspended, the league subsequently awarded the tie to Bury's opponents and effectively threw them out of the competition. If current owner Steve Dale does not provide the league with the relevant information, in particular proof of source and sufficiency funding, the club's EFL membership will be terminated and Bury will no longer be part of the English Football League. The club would then be free to make an application to the Football Association to re-join a league competition further down the English football pyramid from season 2020/21, but it is unclear what the procedure would be if Bury do not apply to re-join the competition for next year. However, the EFL are continuing to talk with the current ownership in an attempt to achieve a resolution ahead of a Notice of Withdrawal deadline of Friday August 23. What could be the impact on other clubs in League One and beyond? Should the club's share be withdrawn, Bury's record from this season would be expunged as they have not played any games so far, thus there would be no issues with points already gained or other teams affected directly. League One would then consist of 23 sides rather than 24 for the remainder of the campaign, and as a consequence and the number of relegation places at the end of the season would be reduced from four down to three. However, four promotion places would remain from League Two ensuring a full complement of 24 teams in League One in 2020/21.

A disgrace, when I consider the amount of money in the premier league, these days clubs would rather spend 50 million quid on some overseas player we have to google, Kevin Keegan would still be languishing in lower league obscurity these days.
Wage thieves like Michael Owen and Sanchez quite happy to sit on their ass and pick an obscene amount of money, get rid of agents, nothing more than mama sans prostituing their clients to the highest bidder.
What hope do we have when our football grounds are nothing more than a tourist attractions for wealthy asians to visit and take a few selfies to upload on their faceache site.
Tossers like Gary Linekar picking up two million quid a year from the taxpayer, a blood sucking leech, a parasite.
Such a shame, where and when did it all go wrong?

Looks like excellent news for Bolton: ================================================== Bolton Wanderers takeover by Football Ventures completedEFL confirms club are out of administration and notice of withdrawal from Football League has been withdrawn Last Updated: 28/08/19 7:13pm Football Ventures have completed their takeover of Bolton Wanderers, the club's administrators have confirmed. The EFL announced on Tuesday night it had given Bolton's administrators 14 days to either sell the club or prove they could fund them for the rest of the season. The club would have been withdrawn from the Football League if they failed to meet the deadline, but that situation has now been averted. Bolton's joint-administrator Paul Appleton described the process as "one of the most complicated administrations I've been involved with". He added: "I'm delighted to say we have finally reached a satisfactory conclusion with the sale to Football Ventures. "At times, some of the hurdles appeared insurmountable and the frustration felt has been immense, not least by the supporters who have had to endure too many weeks of uncertainty." In a statement, Football Ventures said: "Throughout this lengthy and complicated process, we have remained focused on completion of the deal and nothing else. "At times it has been difficult to keep our counsel, but we took a decision to remain on the sidelines even when further damage was being inflicted by delays outside of our control. "Our thoughts were always with the club staff and supporters, and we worked tirelessly behind the scenes to find an agreement and prevent even more stress and uncertainty for those who have suffered far too much over the past months. "Now we are excited to begin restoring this magnificent football club to its rightful position, securing its future for the fans, the loyal club staff and the players. "It is now imperative that we commence the process of appointing a manager and strengthening the team with the right players to take the club forward." Appleton also reserved special praise for the Eddie Davies Trust, the PFA and the EFL, saying: "I would like to pay particular tribute to the Eddie Davies Trust and their legal team who, throughout this whole process, have been willing to do everything in their power to ensure Eddie's incredible legacy was maintained and not sullied. "Even at the 11th hour when other parties were content to renege on their agreements, the Trust realised the very existence of Bolton Wanderers was at stake and were willing to find a compromise to save the club." Appleton hit out at former Bolton owner Ken Anderson, accusing him of "hampering and frustrating" the deal, and warned there will be "difficult times ahead". However, he thinks Football Ventures "will run the club for the good of the supporters and the community as a whole", adding, "for everything the fans have had to endure, they deserve nothing less". Bolton began the season on minus-12 points after being placed into administration, and manager Phil Parkinson and his assistant Steve Parkin resigned earlier this month. Following Football Venture's takeover, the EFL has confirmed Bolton are no longer in administration and that their notice of withdrawal from the Football League has been withdrawn. Debbie Jevans, the EFL's executive chair, said: "These past few months have undoubtedly been challenging and, at times fraught - never more so in the past few days - and I would like to thank all parties for their efforts in achieving the desired outcome. "I would also like to place on record my grateful appreciation and thanks to the players, former and present management, staff and supporters for their patience and understanding in allowing us to get to this point. "Everyone at the EFL is now looking forward to working with the new ownership during the 2019/20 campaign and beyond." www.skysports.com/football/news/11672/11796365/bolton-wanderers-takeover-by-football-ventures-completed
