Statement of behalf of the administrators for Bolton Wanderers Football Club Paul Appleton and Asher Miller of David Rubin & Partners have today been appointed as Joint Administrators of Bolton Wanderers Football & Athletic Club (BWFC) and Burnden Leisure Limited (BLL) in the High Court of Justice. Both appointments were made following the Notices of Intention to appoint administrators filed by Fildraw Limited last week, which followed a long period of uncertainty since the presentation of a petition by HMRC. Fildraw Limited is a company through which the Trust representing the family of the late Eddie Davies lent substantial sums to the club. The decision was finally made for the appointments which it is hoped will ensure the continued existence of the club, one of the founding members of the Football League. Paul Appleton said: "This has obviously been a long-running situation and it is vitally important that we quickly establish the position of both the football club and the holding company. "It has got to the stage where the Trust could not sit back and allow the club to go into liquidation. Decisive action had to be taken and the Trust believes the decision is in the best interests of Bolton Wanderers." "Everybody at the club as well as the supporters need a sense of clarity and that is what I will be seeking to provide as quickly as possible."
Bolton Wanderers set up emergency food bank to help staff after wages go unpaid Bolton Wanderers have set up an emergency food bank with donations from local businesses to help out staff who have not been paid. During a turbulent year for the club on and off the field, non-playing employees have not been paid for April. The Trotters, who were relegated to League One this season, became the first club to enter administration for six years on Monday. "We're grateful for the support," club chaplain Phil Mason said. "Often there is this perception that within football, people are paid a king's ransom, but of course the reality is that a lot of staff behind the scenes are on significantly low wages. "They've got mortgages or rent to pay, they may have something coming up within their family and they've got food to put on the table as well as get to and from work." It has been a tough season for the club, with players still to receive their salaries for March and April, alongside a return to League One after two seasons in the Championship. Businesses have helped provide toiletries and nappies, as well as tinned goods, pasta, rice, freezer meals, frozen vegetables and bread. And the Community Trust have also been given assistance from within the wider football community, including an unnamed Championship club believed to be Preston North End. "It's tremendous that we've had support from a Championship club," Mason told BBC Radio Manchester. "They have donated a significant amount in terms of Asda and Sainsbury's vouchers so we can use those in order to get additional provisions for the food supplies that we're offering to staff." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footbal...Akxt46N5e_KuC5zQhbj-FA9IlfhOmm5F_UjFU84faS7gU
A really sorry state of affairs. Agreed well done PNE and the trust - A great example you have set. It would be great to see more clubs offer support - some of those stinking rich clubs in the North West would be a good starting point. Football family after all.
All Anderson had to do was pay and increase his floating charge to recover! Self centred prat who's dragged Bolton through the mud
A stinking rich club in the north east could get some much needed good publicity from offering a donation, but we know it won’t.
Looks like Bolton can be yours for c£25m and they own their stadium. This doesn't include the hotel which is being managed by different administrators
As Bolton fans t-shirts proclaim....'No Ken Do'... Even if I had the dough (which I don't) I don't think I'd be interested at £2.5m, always felt there's too much competition in that part of the world.
But they've put millions into the club surely they deserve their money back !!!!! Or perhaps that's just the scewed thinking of our owners and some 'fans'
Or maybe he was Anti-Wrestling and was trying to make a point about cultural misappropriation in the 1970s and 80s.
