    If Bolton want to buy Wyke, City should ask for the money in notes up front!

    Sounds like it's been going on for more than a year.

    Happened multiple times to them now, I'd go on strike as well if it kept happening at my work.

    There really needs to be some sort of football league/F.A investigation into clubs/owners that do this. It seems likely that Bolton have not in fact recovered financially, but once again have gambled and spent money they don't have on obtaining short term success. It's not fair on other teams either that do play by the rules.

    I feel exactly the same. You can't go out paying transfer fees, signing players on contracts if you haven't got the money. Wonder how Otzumer feels

    This is totally ridiculous, they stayed up by the skin of their teeth and now they are not paying wages again. FA, ought to get involved into financial mismanagement.

    Spot on. The owners there seem to be relying on smoke and mirrors to convince the football authorities, players, agents, other clubs and most importantly their own fans that they are out of the financial mire. The truth is they are still operating insolvently whilst the owner is hawking the club abroad trying to offload it.

    Maybe that should be aimed at their agents, how are they not aware of the situation, the PFA should be warning players.

    It’s not the players I feel sorry for. Football debts are paid first. It’s all those little businesses who will suffer whilst the club splash cash they haven’t got

    Very true once you screw small local businesses they take some getting back on board if they do at all.

    When I attended the creditors meeting at VP after the Richmond era many of the smaller creditors vowed never to return to VP and some had followed the club for ages

    Even though St Johns are a voluntery group didn't the club owe them money, yes quite understandable with regards small local busnesses.
