Minus Four Points

Minus Four Points

Maidstone United (by a few months)?

Maidstone went after 1 game of the following season, but didn’t actually play that first game.

From wiki:

To date, Maidstone United are the most recent club to be forced out of the Football League due to bankruptcy. A number of former league clubs, including Scarborough, Halifax Town, Chester City and Rushden & Diamonds have gone bankrupt and ceased to exist since Maidstone United's demise, but all had dropped into the non-league divisions by the time of their demise

I believe they had two registered players and no ground the week before that first cancelled game. So, in actual fact, they weren't exactly bankrupt with points won by other clubs in jeopardy.
 
In financial terms it would make sense for Bolton to go under and reform under a different name in non-league. Would free them of most of their debt.
 
We helped them stay in the league last season, surely they can return the favour and keep the ship afloat until the end of the season atleast
 
Case adjourned until April 3rd as the Judge believes a sale is imminent.
