They're now just left with five senior players.

Another victim of poor leadership at the board level.

Presume that they have a fairly strong fanbase, albeit not being a club 'fancied' or being 'glamourous' by many.

 

A sad state of affairs for them, when you see that clubs like Accrington Stanley and Lincoln City are doing better than in quite a few aspects now.

Been talked about a lot in the league 1/2 thread.

 

They aren't 'glamourous' but they're a founder member of the football league and it's sad to see a club like that in the mess they are now.

 

I saw their teamsheet last week and it was made up of 16/17/18 year olds. Fans are doing well to keep going though and it has been good to see both parties acknowledge each other well after the Wycombe and Coventry games.

My first lcfc away game with mates (without the care of parent) was Bolton away in the league cup when they were prem and we were champ. Really liked the reebok stadium as it was at the time and Gareth Williams belted one in late in extra time to give us hope but a 2-1 defeat entailed.

 

they were a good sized club and a staple in the prem 10 years ago

Bassini's legal challenge was thrown out I believe, and the sale of the club will now presumably go through.

 

Plenty of free agents for Bolton to get in to buttress the squad, although with the points deduction this season will probably be a write off anyway.

Starting next season in league 2 but still with a football club will be enough for supporters in the circumstances I guess.

Hope they recover, have a bit of a "grey mouse" feel about them, an air of mediocrity, seemingly around forever in the Premier League a few years back, but never pulling out any trees.

 

Maybe the crisis can act as a catalyst and only good things to come from it. Phoenix from the Ashes and whatnot.

Mandaric really did save our bacon.

The shareholders saved our bacon taking Mandaric's pathetic offer.

 

He would happily have sold us down the river to anyone, just look at who he sold Portsmouth to.

We were so lucky with the Srivadhannaprabha family.

 

It could just as easily have been a SISU or Steve Dale taking over our club.
