    They've been close to it for months. I can see them folding. I'd feel sorry for their fans but it's about time a 'big' club was punished properly for their financial mismanagement.

    To help them out a bit we should take Oztumer and Wheater off their payroll.

    I expect Simon Parker to shortly confirm we are definitely not playing Bolton in a friendly.

    The vast gulf created by the Premiership goes a long way to causing financial problems.

    As long as football clubs are allowed to trade at ridiculous negative end of year values then this will happen time after time.

    When we have premier league clubs, with hundreds of millions of pounds in tv rights, accepted universally as "loss making", what chance do thr rest of us have?

    All it will take is the China league to get up and running and there’s a big chunk of the commercial revenue lost. I have ditched sky sports and it was like a detox. I feel better for it. I think the tv deal this year was the tip of the iceberg. Gradually the population is having less disposable income.

    Is this a genuine question? Insured for injuries on a football training pitch? Do you think they play tiddlywinks all day?

    We also need to allow for the fact that Bolton might not show up. At least the Avenue game is fairly certain to take place.

    I know where you’re coming from. The EFL are a shambles and let it continue. That league is a joke this year with two on minus

    Thought we were supposed to be passed all this. In the past it was blamed on itv going bust. Now we have guaranteed revenue and clubs go bust chasing the big dream of PL football

    I think someone on the Eccleshill thread said Luca was there with his arm in plaster.

    Looking at the possible team Bolton could field today, is it only me who thinks it's more likely to be a 5-a-side game?

    Bolton News in an interview with PP reveals they are "considering a behind closed doors game with Bradford City".
    That suggests not today and in any event can they afford the cost of getting over here, think if it happens it will be at Bolton training ground and later this week given GB comments of a strong team tonight.

    I don't think we have any worries about being any part of the Premiership short term or long term, as you say with every passing season the top 8 or so get wealthier and wealthier and make it morw ans more difficult for the bottom 12 or so trt and compete.
    Last night I read a Chinese club want Gareth Bale and are quite happy to pay him £1m per WEEK.

    We seem to be getting a fair few pens in pre season games, and tucking them away, the shortage of goals from.open play may well be a concern already though?
