    Some interesting quotes in that, including:
    And, referring to the Administrators:

    It's scary to think that just last year we (Sunderland) were on the brink of administration until we got our takeover. I recall seeing that we were just a couple of weeks away from going bust.

    Let's hope they are and get owners who can steady the club going forward, weve been through it twice and its not good as a supporter to feel your club could be wound up.

    Might have something to do with a substantial bond he lodged as proof of funds with pre admin management, which no one seems to be able to locate (allegedly)

    The suggestion, is being made, that Bolton called the match off without consulting either the EFL or Doncaster Rovers. It is being reported that Doncaster have still not been formally told that the match is off.

    Another point deduction coming their way. As sad as it is, if they haven’t told Donny, then they should get the deduction.

    Not a nice situation, but not Donnys team or fans fault. They may as well right this season off and go again in league 2 next season.

    I think both Bolton and Bury should be expelled from the EFL. If they cannot fulfil their fixtures then that's the only option in my opinion as it's unfair on every other team in the league.

    Can't agree, that hits the very people who have done nothing wrong except support their club, easy to dismiss the people who it will really hurt.

    They can find another club to support. Maybe start AFC Bolton. Seriously though, what other choice do they have? League One is a joke at the moment thanks to what's going on with these two.

    Agree, Bolton have been taking the piss for far too long now, ger em out, who do they think they are just cancelling games like that without permission.
    All this founder member crap does not wash and them thinking that they should be treated differently.
    If they are not expelled then 40 more points deducted this season and 50 next season, that will teach them and ensure other clubs won't take the piss like they are.
    They made the problem themselves by insisting they start the season and now they are struggling getting hammered every week they take their bat and ball home and say we're not playing, i say feck em.

    I think you are either misreading things or misinterpreting. The injunction is no longer in force to stop the sale. That is what the court decided. FV may not want to proceed currently, or more likely one of the creditors doesn’t but that is totally different to the injunction blocking it.

    This is from the BBC TODAY
    F2A0563A-2A0A-452D-9F8B-2BC5D4165E4F.png

    The injunction is now between the previous owner and Bassini rather than the club. Thus it doesn’t block the sale.

    I await your apology

    It is more unfair on the team that missed out on promotion because of Bury cheating

    I was one of the many calling for Rupp and Rahic to go. I don't know about the total mechanics of financing and running of a football club but I'm so glad the latter has stayed now.

    Bolton and Bury won't be the last in deep trouble. Let's hope, with our financial pasts, that we don't have to endure a further threat of liquidation in the future

    But I would bet none of those fans cared a toss when Eddie Davies was throwing £171 M into the club.

    To cover wages for the length of the contracts or at least a year. Anyone taking over would just pay them the bond back. Normal businesses don’t aim to run at a loss for so long so football is an unusual case
