PHIL Parkinson is set to be unveiled as the new manager of Bolton Wanderers.
In a remarkable late twist, a deal has been agreed with Bradford City to bring the Chorley-born 48-year-old to the Macron Stadium ahead of long-time front-runners Steve Cotterill and Nigel Adkins.
Ken Anderson had claimed publicly Wanderers would not be paying compensation but The Bolton News understands a financial agreement has been reached between the two clubs in the last couple of days.
Wanderers fans have waited more than 12 weeks for news of Neil Lennon’s successor but the wait will be over tomorrow when the former Reading and Bury midfielder is unveiled to the press at the Macron Stadium.
Parkinson was the fifth longest-serving manager in the Football League and was moving towards his fifth season at Valley Parade.
He led Bradford to the League Cup final in 2013 and his side were beaten in the play-offs this season by Millwall.
He has also experienced promotion with Colchester United and guided Charlton Athletic to a fourth-place finish in League One in 2010.
