    Championship side Bolton Wanderers will appear in the High Court on 20 March after being issued a winding-up petition by HM Revenue & Customs.

    The petition, which was filed on 4 February, was published on Wednesday.

    Meanwhile, owner Ken Anderson said in a statement that heads of terms were agreed and discussions were ongoing with a consortium to buy the club.

    If Bolton were to be liquidated, we'd lose six points and +7 from our goal difference.

    Highly unlikely though.

    Agree. They have tangible assets so administration likely to be the next step with administrators deciding thereafter whether it can be sold potentially as a going concern, or as a last resort liquidated. If the latter occurred unlikely it would happen within this season.

    Ferriby is one thing, but to let a club of Bolton’s history and size go under should set the alarms blaring at the FA. Money has become far too entrenched within football, I understand the need for it, but we need more care taken for clubs operating outside the vast riches of the Premier League.

    There will be more clubs in the coming years facing this.

    Bolton's problems in a large part because of their years in the PL.

    My point exactly, it's clubs like us, Sunderland and Blackburn, who still have PL players on the books, that are at risk. The stark contrast in income between the two divisions shouldn't hit clubs so hard. Clubs are having to spend more just to stay in the division, or more than their means to try and get there. Either buff the money to the EFL, or reduce the amount PL can spend. The current system is unsustainable.

    As much as I dislike them, Cardiff have done it the right way and spent relatively little in the Championship. Problem is, come May, they'll have to chance it to go back up again or risk living off parachute payments like we have. For the sake of a club people have followed for generations, it doesn't seem worth it if the end result is the club ceases to exist.

    Burnley did it exactly right. Getting in the PL is a rock and a hard place scenario. Pay higher wages and go down you are in the moire as revenues go down in time. Insert relegation clauses and the best players depart for pastures new.
    In some ways I hope Leeds go up because their deluded fans will be in for a rude awakening.

    Bolton given stay of execution until April 3 - High Court there is a possible buyer who would clear the debts. Only issue now is that if go into administration then 12-point deduction would come into force next season not this season (cut-off point is March 28).

    A proper football town. Their fans don't deserve this.

    Wouldn't shed a single tear for their fans should this fate befall MK Dons.

    I mean, it depends on the age of said fan.

    That club deserves to die horribly, but I suppose people born after 2004 who support that club aren't exactly at fault.

    Mate of mine is an AFC Wimbledon fan. Even he can see that young supporters of MK Dons are fine. He doesn't talk to his uncle anymore as he defected.

    I don't blame your mate. How the **** can anyone change clubs? We didn't even let our owners to change our name.
