Bolton and Bury games likely to be suspended....latest update, what a mess.

What happens with Bolton if they get themselves out of the ****? Surely a season long transfer embargo? Now the season has started and their young academy lads are struggling, I don't think it would be fair for them to add to their ranks. Harsh on them perhaps, but the teams they've played so far will have had an unfair advantage over everyone who hasn't yet played them.

Correct Hazza

Seriously how the hell are they still playing? It’s just wrong imo

The interesting thing for me is that the EFL bangs on about protecting the integrity of their competitions.
Perhaps they would like to explain how having one club regularly being forced to field a team of trainees and another having a succession of games postponed achieves that objective?

Yes it really makes you think when you read that flourbasher, doesn't it?
And our club could have very easily died a few years back if it hadn't been for Tony Stewart stepping in, saving us, and giving us a stadium that we could only dream about, wow.
It makes it even sadder when you read about generations of fans who've watched their team for many, many years and it's being taken away from them and there's nothing they can do about it. It's so sad. I sincerely hope that Bury F.C. can recover from this, but it's not looking good.

Another thing that might or might not have already been covered, what will the L1 relegation/L2 promotion situation be if Bury are kicked out of the league? I'm sure there will already be one or two clubs who feel aggrieved. Ones who might have taken their promotion place last season, and ones who might have kept their place in L1.
Would it have to revert to three down from L1, four up from L2 and an extra promotion place from the conterence to restore the balance?

Its thrashing my brain trying to work it out!

Bolton have stood up to EFL and postponed their game against Donny

When will it all end ?

EFL should have done this but failed the youngsters who should never have been brought into the crisis imo

The two teams need to be removed from the league or owners need to be removed from there possitions. It's turning ( already turned) into a farce. No body wants to see 16-17 year old kids getting bashed about by experience pros.

I know elf won't allow it but If we had spare players, how would people feel if warne loaned bury/Bolton a couple of our players?

[CASPER-64-FRANK]

Bolton have got players lined up cayton.
It’s the takeover that’s holding things up.
Have the EFL made any statement yet ?
Be interesting what they have to say....or perhaps not.

[millertop]

No statement from EFL yet, they just astonish me at times

[Brin]

Have the EFL dealt with Bolton from last season?......errr....

So how can any fan have any faith in the EFL with the current situation?
