PHIL Parkinson hopes he will be free to make progress on the transfer front in the final week of the window.
Though boardroom complications have put plans on hold for the last five days the Wanderers boss still wants to add at least one new face to his squad before Friday’s deadline.
It is understood Chris Taylor could be the man to make way in the quota, and that the Whites have already turned down one bid for the midfielder’s services from an un-named League One club.
Parkinson wants to add to his options out wide and is keeping his fingers cross the complicated boardroom situation does not spill into next week.
“I think the chairman has been busy with the BluMarble situation, which is entirely understandable,” Parkinson told The Bolton News. “He’s trying to resolve things behind the scenes so it’s been a case of letting him get on with things and wait until we’ve got the weekend out of the way before seeing where we are with the squad.
“I’d hope by Monday or Tuesday we should know more and then we can decide what we can and can’t do with the squad.”
Wanderers are restricted to 23 professional players in their squad, due to the terms of the EFL embargo and it is unclear at present whether they will received any dispensation for Josh Vela’s ankle injury – which has ruled the midfielder out for at least another six weeks.
There are slim hopes the embargo could be lifted before the deadline but would depend entirely on a swift resolution to the ownership issues triggered by the liquidation of Sports Shield BWFC.
Taylor spent the last half of last season out on loan with Oldham Athletic but returned in good form during the summer and looked like he may force his way into Parkinson’s first team squad.
The 30-year-old has been unable to do that thus far and is yet to make an appearance in league or cup.
Meanwhile, keeper Jake Turner has been called up to the England Under-19s squad due to take on Poland at St George’s Park on Friday, September 1 and Germany in Mansfield four days later.
