As recently as 2019 the former Premier League side were close to liquidation, until a takeover was finally completed.

The Trotters thrashed League One promotion rivals Plymouth at Wembley on Sunday for a first trophy since 1997.

What really stood out about yesterday's game was that a minor cup final between two third tier teams drew a crowd of 79,389 - the biggest attendance of the weekend anywhere in Europe!

I don't know what the split was between the fans, but it's 240 miles to Wembley from Plymouth and 205 miles from Bolton.


"Quite remarkable!", as David Coleman might have said.



 


Tremendous support from both clubs.

The English Football League will appeal against the "lenient" suspended points deduction given to Bolton Wanderers over unfulfilled fixtures.

Bolton had a five point deduction suspended for eighteen months after failing to fulfil fixtures against Brentford last season and Doncaster this term.

The EFL said it is "disappointed by the conclusions reached by the independent disciplinary commission".

Bolton were fined a total of £70,000, with half also suspended for 18 months.

The statement is quite iron fisted.

Basically in a nutshell. Bolton have been given a 14 day stay of execution on the basis they were fulfilling their fixtures, even with U21's conceding 5 goals every game.
The EFL simply had enough of Bury. There was 3 fresh takeover bids at around 4pm, but they decided the club had taken the piss too much.


Poor Bolton now need to figure out how the f**k do you attract investors when you're £30 million in debt in League 1 and that figure is rising every month as the debt has been there ever since Big Sam was around so imagine the interest rates on it. I suppose it's alot better than the £200 million they were in debt in April until a few braincells realised they're never getting that money back and wrote it off.

Were they in much financial difficulty when he left? I'd imagine he wasn't stingy with wages.

That’s with the exception of around 2005 when they were decent enough to watch.

Once they went down it was clear they weren’t coming back. Having said that, I hope they survive this debacle, at least for the fans.
Seems a long time since big Sam had them playing in Europe. 

Ages ago, and when he left, the change happened. They were never the same again.
