The company handled the Blackpool process I think as well so it’s a good choice
Good god, the Administrator that has been appointed to Bolton's case is Paul Appleton.
As if it couldn't get any worse for them.

What was it he did wrong with the CCFC administration? Or is it just another pantomime villainThey (David Rubin & Partners) appear to be trusted in handling administration cases for professional Football clubs, which is promising for Bolton at least.
Hopefully they get the best outcome possible, but a part of me remains sceptical seeing Paul Appleton's name associated with the case.
Did he ever release a full report on the admin or the one on directors and ex-directors activities?What was it he did wrong with the CCFC administration? Or is it just another pantomime villain

Main gripe at the time was he ruled out other bids as Otium were threatening legal action if he accepted an alternative offer.

No it’s not.Is that so? Can’t imagine that would be correct but if there’s evidence I’m happy to learn more.
No it’s not.
From memory it was something like ACL thought they were being clever and could get Haskell in as a new owner but it turned out assets that constitute the football club, things like the golden share that was ‘lost’ and player registrations, were in another company.
Buying the company that was in admin wouldn’t make you the owner of CCFC so the bidders pulled out.
Apparently Everton have sent money to cover a weeks wages for the staff not getting paid. Liverpool, Leeds, Huddersfield and Blackpool also reported to have assisted financially.Just seen that Bolton have now had to get an emergency foodbank for members of staff who haven't been paid, people always think about the players but the normal everyday staff who won't have been paid will be struggling.
Yet not a bean from Manchester CityApparently Everton have sent money to cover a weeks wages for the staff not getting paid. Liverpool, Leeds, Huddersfield and Blackpool also reported to have assisted financially.
Taking it a bit personally isn’t he!?Bizarre statement from Appleton today, accusing the players' statement yesterday of being "littered with factual inaccuracies" and that they're not in real hardship / should think themselves lucky, "they have no appreciation of what's going on" etc. Strange thing to see from a court-appointed administrator - came across like he was rattled by the call-off of their game today and was writing the statement in a fit of annoyance.

On what basis can they refuse to let the. Leave if they haven’t been paid? Surely as soon as you don’t pay its beach of contract and they can walk.
Seems like an obvious breach of contract. But I guess from the administrator’s point of view, players under contract are valuable assets that belong to the club. If they walk now, there’s even less for the creditors to pick over.
.
I expect he probably would win in fact - getting paid for your services is quite well established in contract law - but I think the bet that the administrator is making is that it would take too long.He can take it to court if he likes but he knows there is almost no chance he'll win.
Another fine job by Appleton
What can he do?
Still love how everybody gets wound up because acl thought they were going to take over and it backfired.Wait for the previous owner is his normal trick must be having to do some work this time he is a parasite

He acted entirely correctly as he’s doing now.
Ask the players who haven’t been paid and are trying to get released if they think it is correct it will be interesting to see if the pfa get them released.
Talk to the Trust, they'll advocate the heaviest punishment by removing the golden share like they do for an insolvent CCFCSurely football won’t let Bolton cease
