Minus Four Points

Minus Four Points

Cheers Micky, just received the same from Dave Seddon. Christ knows how it would affect the teams down the bottom, even if it would mean three still go down or not. Alan Nixon doesn't seem to know, he's just replied "liquidation has to be avoided at all costs."

Nice One.
 
I suspect, at this stage of the season, that administrators would run the club till the end of the season (with maybe the EFL helping with wages)

Points issue aside it would be a very sad day for football if we were to lose Bolton. Like us theyre a very big part of the games history.

Absolutely and should not be allowed to happen, I hope that it can be resolved although I think the HMRC have been wanting to make an example out of a well known club for a while.

It would however be just our bloody luck to then miss out by a point and Frank Lampard's FC get promotion.

Norwich would have 72. Won't let me edit.
 
Who were the last to go during a season? Aldershot? I seem to remember the lashers and Burnley were the top 2 at the time and by Aldershot leaving Burnley took over at the top, old division 4.

Absolutely this.

These clubs employ a lot of people, just ordinary folk like cleaners, cooks, admin staff etc. We see only the football but theres so much that goes on in the background.
 
I seriously doubt they'll fold completely - the most likely thing is them going into administration, being picked up by another party and taking a 12 point deduction at the start of next season.

Agree with the sentiments regarding the other employees who don't get paid the thousands of pounds a week, or who can't pass themselves and their son a massive consultancy fee for doing sweet F.A.
 
Surely at this late stage of the season, the EFL and co could put in a rescue package to get the club to the end of the season. Keep staff in a job, let them ground share etc.

Anderson should be - and I usually speak to a Bolton ST Holder on Monday nights if I am in Bolton with work whom agrees with me on this - on the end of some jail time. Something at that club doesn't add up. In both sense of the words!
