Probably will.A side issue about the Bolton when the players had not been paid why weren't the P F A stepping forward and at least giving them a loan.Maybe they did but i didn't see any signs of them looking after them.

Pretty sure I read they’d paid their wages twice. Sure it was the PFA.

Sad to see that it’s come to this for some of the employees of Bolton Wanderers. Everyone associated with the club deserves a lot better than this. Their fiasco needs sorting asap.

Bolton Wanderers set up emergency food bank to help staff after wages go unpaid

The senior players showed some great ethic by loaning cash to youth players / other employees and gave them some lifts where needed, but that's only a short term solution. The owners whoever they end up being) need to grow a pair and see that people are paid in full as per their contracts.

We've been saying for years that, sooner or later, a big club is going to go bust - it happens in the lower echelons of non-league a fair bit, but hasn't happen since the early 1990s to a current league side. It could well end up being Bolton. Let's hope for the fans' sake it doesn't happen.

Are Bolton classed as a big club? Always thought they were punching above their weight.

Relatively - I mean in comparison to the various non-league teams who fold from time to time. There have been a few ex-league clubs to go bust like Halifax, Scarborough, Chester, Aldershot, Hereford, Darlington etc but Bolton are an ex-PL team, played in Europe, League Cup final, big whacking stadium etc.

Bolton have spent more seasons than any other club in the top flight without winning the title and won 4 FA Cups.

That is a superb piece of trivia.
