Not looking good for Bolton now.

Bolton seem to be heading down the same track as Bury after 2 consecutive 5 nil defeats.

Quite. Contrition isn't a word found in their vocabulary it seems so I too have no sympathy for them. Unlike poor Bury, Bolton and their delusional supporters are now reaping what they've sown. Just maybe Bolton's demise is the wake up call a lot of other profligate clubs living well beyond their means need to bring some sanity back into football governance/ownership.
Looking at the Bolton debacle, one is tempted to ask whether their geographical location also counts against them: are there too many teams in the north west, especially the Greater Manchester area? I wonder what they were expecting their fans to pay per third-tier game before ticket sales were suspended.

Bury to Bolton? 6.5 miles!!
Manchester not much further away. Numerous Greater Manchester (and beyond ) clubs within an hours drive.
Sad if you are a 'real' supporter but those stats make it easy for non Bury/Bolton supporters to just shrug. :sad:
Bury made an example of to threaten Bolton.
Bolton's administrators said they're going to wind it up starting tomorrow morning, so not sure they're going to make it to the deadline.

They had to do that as it was what they did for Bury. The Bury expulsion will sure concentrate the minds of those at Bolton who now realise it will happen.

I agree. In fact the cynic in me can’t help but wonder whether (partly) the EFL followed through with the expulsion of ‘little’ Bury to try to boost the chances of someone saving ‘big’ Bolton. But in reality I guess it’s just a matter of timing of where the clubs were in their respective meltdowns. Who is next in line? The Championship must be stuffed full of potential candidates.
Sincere apologies to anyone offended by this but if I was absolutely forced on pain of death to pick a team to get the Bury treatment it'd have to be Franchise Dons - a definite case of poetic justice.

So, are the EFL gong to let someone buy Bolton for a pound because the club are under threat and the EFL haven't got time to do due diligence? That's what they did for Bury. Theoretically I guess Steve Dale could make an offer for Bolton? :facepalm:
It's called due diligence for a reason: do it at the right time and do it thoroughly!! :furious:
