Apparently Bolton players can walk this week if not paid. According to Alan Nixon Sun
Bolton are due a Premier League payment on August 1. About 375k. That goes into the pot. Do they get paid to play this weekend? Would they play? They won’t get back pay until there’s a takeover. But if NOT paid those who put in notice can walk at end of week.
Surely the administrators will ensure that contracted players are paid something as a priority to ensure they cannot just walk away.
They need to be paid up to date (in full) to keep their contracts alive and Bolton don't have enough money to do this.
If Bolton are getting a Premier League payment of £345k and it is reported they owe one player £500k in unpaid wages, i'm not sure how he or any other player is going to get what is owed. I don't know, but I assume the club can't pay everybody it owes and if you want your money in full, you may need to be as high up the list as possible. Still being an employee of the club may put you higher up the list.
Bowyer should nonchalantly ask Roland to cough up the unpaid £50k to speed up the transfer. The old bastard would probably have a seizure on the spot 😀.

£50,000 doesn’t even cover half of what Oztumer is owed by Bolton.

Great. Tell him that afterwards to finish him off.
Problem for Erhun and Josh is the fact that if they cant leave the club before the window closes then they've surely got to stay @ Bolton until January
After all no other club will be allowed to sign them as they'd have been contracted players when the window closed

An excellent point, and one I assume they will be making.

I agree in theory but I think something will be done. There will be uproar if a precedent is set here that you can not get paid and be ‘blackmailed’ or forced into staying to get your money.
I hope his notice period expires before next week in which he moves he moves on and his pay dispute becomes a retrospective albeit ongoing matter. If it doesn’t, something will need to be done as this cannot surely be allowed to happen.
If he gets his Bolton thing “sorted” eventually, presumably we can sign him up after the window has closed as a free agent? Might get him just in time for Jonny’s first injury.

I wonder if this would then be the next Bosman type "unfair football employment" case? Potentially I can see a challenge to the transfer window rules preventing Bolton players from playing for another club if Bolton hold on to their registrations until after August 8th

You need to be a free agent when the window closes, if you're released after, tough luck.

Cheers. I hadn’t realised that. He’s basically stuffed then. Hope his lawyers sort something.

Registration, no idea, would seem not.
Not paid for 5 months, forced to stay, can't imagine they'll be giving their all come the first game of the season.
Can they not just refuse to play until they're paid?
