    Only a 1-0 win? I thought the default score was 3-0.

    Maybe they've looked at Brentford's forward line and decided to scale it back.
    I wonder if the Brentford players will get win bonuses  :)
    they should use the win bonuses to pay for all the fans that paid for tickets and travel to go to a pre season game

    Minus 12 according to that article plus whatever they get for not fulfilling the Brentford game.

    Christ didnt realise that the deduction had increased

    Imagine they'll start the season on around -20 points

    Wonder if we'll go after Oztumer again

    Going to be a grim season for them next season, they'll do well not to go down again considering that 50 points was needed to stay up this year. With a 20 point deduction, that's 70 points needed to stay up!

    Surely they could have picked a different photo to accompany the article? One where the Chairman isn't beaming!

    Bolton paid his consultancy company £650K (from memory).
    I'm not surprised he's smiling.

    I don't have a problem with agents paid for by players, or even by clubs for sort out complex transfers.  But when Leeds paid an agent about 3 million quid for finding a buyer for Harry Kewell you know something is wrong. 

    Is that Liverpool?

    Yes

    Would you like to buy HK?

    Yes

    Thanks 

    £3 million please Peter.

    You couldn't make it up. 
    What might a complex transfer be? I genuinely can't think of anything in the football word that's very complex; you're moving one person from one club to another. It's not rocket science and it's not Brexit.  Sure there may be a chain of buyers/sellers (cue a house buying analogy), but I can't see for a minute there'd be a complexity anything like many normal business operations - say for example hiring some ground-workers to sort out the drainage on a training pitch.

      Upfront certainty. Magennis was their top goalscorer with 7. he only got 10 for us last season so I doubt he'll be much better next.

    ........or the season after, and the ones after that.

    You should get a lawyer who likes the spotlight to sue to block the takeover due to the money he owes you. He will pay you off right away just to make that go away.

    Bolton Wanderers: Club appoint administrators following unpaid £1.2m tax bill

    So they will start the 2019-20 season with -12 points?

    At minimum - there should also be a misconduct hearing for failing to fulfill their fixtures. Could well end up with an additional penalty - unless they just fine them. But fining a club with no money seems a bit pointless.

    Didn't Middlesbrough get deducted 3 points when they failed to fulfil a fixture due to injuries?

    Ultimately it ended up relegating them when they could've just played the under 18s and got 0 points instead of -3.

    So at a minimum Bolton are surely looking at -12 for the admin plus -3 for the non-fixture.

    I bet nothing will happen about the non-fulfilment. EFL will duck that one. wont want to be seen to be punishing them again.

    They've been very happy to stick the boot in previously. Ask Luton fans about their 30 point deduction!

    The five interested parties in acquiring the club have until 4pm to submit their bids to the Admnistrator.

    Presumably if they don't satisfy the Administrator's requirements he continues to retain control of the club whilst seeking a suitable buyer.

    Guess the process will just start over again

    You'd hope for Bolton that these interested parties have already given the Administrators enough assurances that funding will be proven

    At some point though he'll have to liquidate the business though.

    Of course but he'll try and avoid that if possible.

    Looking on the bright side, Rod Stewart is in concert at their stadium on Friday!
