Excited about the Norwich game. Playing against a potential Championship champion. Norwich will most likely will secure their Premiership status. Will be good motivation for our boys if we have any intentions next season to mount any playoff hopes. Lets hope we can give it a good game.

Cannot see us getting anything out of it - this is their moment. They will want it far more than we do but if we do manage to snatch anything from it, it would be an excellent result.

If we play our best 11 in the Norwich game I think we could get something.. We can give the younger players a game against Swansea at home.

In my lifetime we’ve never been the sort of club to turn up and spoil a party, I think we’ll get beat but with the way we’ve played the last four games I’ll expect us too give them a game.. Like you say, coming away with anything would be a great result for us.

Here we go again, Bolton players threatening to refuse to play on Saturday if they aren't paid by today :rolleyes:

Embarrassment of a club.

Meanwhile the 'competition organisers' EFL let the show continue. I hope, if this game doesn't go ahead, that they start Bolton on minus points next season.

I expect they'll do nothing except release some vague statement about them speaking to the relevant people.

Not really a surprise. One look at Bassini and you have to wonder how and where he has got the sort of money needed to bail Bolton out of their debts.

Can't blame them. Must be soul destroying to play for them at the moment. All things considered they have actually shown a lot of professionalism. They haven't really gotten hammered and they kept fighting.

Does anyone know what happens if their players stick to their threat and refuse to play their final 2 games of the season?

Not clear if it is just their senior squad doing this or every registered player. Clearly if it is the former then they can fulfil their fixtures by chucking in the academy kids. If it's the latter then it will create a mess for the League to sort out.

Presumably Brentford and Forest would be awarded the 3 points and the games wouldn't go ahead. Would Bolton face additional sanctions or just start afresh next season?

Bolton bit even mentioned that the match may be in doubt! 

Bassini promises wages will be paid today, must be doing a bank transfer into each account as can’t imagine any banks are open

Wonder where he has got his capital from? They don’t have anything left to borrow against do they?

Apparently he’s not even allowed to pay them, he knows this most likely and is doing it to get some easy points with the Bolton fans.

They seem to be lapping up his ‘passion’ on twitter so it’s working

If they fall for his words then more fool them, the whole thing with the shirt and saying he’s been offered £20m more than he’s paying for it is just ridiculous.

The whole interview is PR stage managed again by Jim White, showing a bit of resistance to give Bassini the platform to show how much he cares.

He looks and sounds pissed. If he was desperate to sort the players wages and ensure the game goes ahead what is he doing in a Sky studio speaking to White? 

It's going to end in tears.

Join the dots time.

Sky Sports - Jim White - Laurence Bassini - Jerome Anderson - Sky Sports

All goes round in one big circle. All know each other. Remember Bassini saying he'd been offered Rovers before taking over at Watford?

Stinks.

He seems to be under the influence of something. Cant get my head around the Dave Richards references. Very strange.
