https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48199290 Assuming administrators are appointed, I expect the FL to keep all charges live and only decide what to impose and what to hold as suspended sentences pending two years of keeping out of trouble when they hand over Bolton's FL membership to whatever form of BWFC (2019) emerges. I would more than half expect a fans' consortium will be central. Next Bury but at least they don't seem to have monsters currently stalking them... https://www.burytimes.co.uk/news/17599598.bury-fc-owner-steve-dave-puts-troubled-club-up-for-sale/

I cannot see Spurs prevailing tonight- they are the ultimate bottlers.

If I were a Notlobber, I'd be worried that is a smokescreen for Anderson to spread the blame for a liquidation.

Ref at the game knows what is going on in all the off ball niggles etc. Probably will generate some howlers doing it this way.

https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/17624238.bolton-wanderers-a-club-which-cannot-be-allowed-to-die/ Sounds desperate. No sign of any resolution. Against Forest they had only the 18 named in the team sheet. Players who had given notice couldn't play as they had voided their insurance by handing in notice. If ten named against Rovers were not named in the 18, they faced an automatic fine- was unaware of that FL rule before.

Worth remembering that the Dingles developed a string of Prem class centre forwards and sold every one of them- Austin, Vokes, Ings. Woods who they have now probably the least dangerous. More than one way of pushing through but I'd like to keep Dack. At the very least as Mowbray pointed out, he is an insurance against FFP problems because we will be forced to sell in the summer of 2020.

Still finding that win by Liverpool surreal. Barca were remarkably inept at taking the sting out. Last goal was something under 9s are coached not to do!

Advertisers eagerly looking at the opportunity VAR breaks mid game creates... Personally, on balance VAR probably improves the fairness of the game and so long as it is a rarity, seeing the ref going to a screen watching an all but impossible to adjudicate decision adds rather than detracts to the drama. It needs handling better for the spectators in the stadium though. Getting a quick ad for Brekkies would completely ruin it as it would break the intensity of the game for the tv audience. I thought seeing the ref get earphone confirmation of Liverpool's second goal added to the game yesterday because it eradicated thinking about was if legitimate or not.

Venkys are renowned for being extremely difficult if they don't want to sell. Put Dack in the right squad and he could take the Championship apart next season.

Well done lads!

Wow just wow. That was surreal. And they did it with half a team of reserves too.

I can think of a few in the past who probably would have had to explain they were players because it wasn't obvious what they were doing on the pitch.... Anyway great victory for the lads with a significantly weakened team this evening.

that doesn't count...

Got married then managed to get the result at the reception. Lost 0-2 to Southampton at home and Roy Hodgson had been fired straight after the game. Still remember the double shock and completely lost my thread in my Groom's speech!

Lost track here, sorry. Who are you confident of coming to Rovers? Hanley, tomey, Whiteman or someone else you have mentioned?

Bolton face a winding up petition tomorrow. Either of the two current largest shareholders could put the club into administration but neither are doing so. Looking desperate for the Wanderers.

South Wales has a relatively small population - under 500,000 from in Cardiff. You cannot say Venky's haven't outspent most of the clubs' owners mentioned- they were advised by venal cretins so mostly wasted.

Yes the plan to move to a stadium where the Bournemouth training centre is (which they own) away from their leased tiddler are on hold as money was deemed needed for team strengthening. 25,000 would not be a problem filling for Bournemouth in a conurbation of over 250,000. Look how Brighton sell out 32,000 having moved from a 7,000 stadium. Ditto Southampton also selling out 32,000 up from 15,000. Even West Ham getting 55,000 up from 35,000 and Spurs finding 60,000 is too small. Worth remembering that southern clubs have a dual advantage: Population and wealth. BwD has the second lowest average wages in England. Average income in Kensington and Chelsea is about five times higher. North West with 5 Prem and 12 EFL clubs has a population of just over 7 million. Home Counties and London with 6 Prem and 10 EFL clubs has a population of around 20 million. *Counting the promotions from the National League into the numbers of clubs.

In many ways the best yet.

Precisely- telling him to up his game or else!

A bit of debate about what constitutes a young player. Of players given squad numbers this season, as at today: 16 are 25 or under 8 are 21 or under. Looking encouraging for the future. Plus the likes of Rankin-Costello for whom many are making the case for being good enough now.

Perhaps Mowbray using a spot of psychology with Raya.

Remember how we all beat ourselves up for not signing Gwion Edwards from Shrewsbury after he ran us ragged playing for Ipswich in the first game of the season? Remember Gwion Edwards? Remember Ipswich? Remember Premier League football? Because if this summer's signings are not good enough to bring iPL football back to Ewood I am not really interested because we already have enough talent at the club including the youngsters to avoid relegation next season.

Salah and Formino out of Champion's League 2nd Leg. Barcelona win a formality.

Glad to see Davenport make an impressive debut after having been out for so long. Pressing, passing, pace and a good shot on him.
