Bolton in frantic late night talks to get senior stars to play match against Coventry after further

Nixon article -

BOLTON are making a frantic late bid to talk their senior players to turn out on Saturday.

The crisis club face a new revolt with their remaining senior players unwilling to face Coventry because they have not had thirst back pay in full.

Instead Phil Parkinson will have to field a raw bunch of youngsters for the game unless late talks succeed.
The angry Bolton senior players were given money last week but some cash was deducted from the five months they were due.

Promises to make up that difference failed to arrive, leaving those who have been through the constant problems said they would not play.

Parkinson had to prepare with the renaming under-21 and youth team players in the latest setback to his plans.

It comes after Bolton plunged into a new crisis after their takeover by Football Ventures was suspended.

And the club have slammed overlooked owner Laurence Bassini for putting an injunction on the deal to save them.

FFS

When will BWFC ever learn that if they want people to work for them they need to pay them. Not just a bit of their wages but all their wages

If they weren't paid because FV couldn't afford it, then it would look as though we have jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

glos they weren't paid because the entire thing is now on hold thanks to the w$nker Bassini. His injunction has tied both the administrator and FV's hands at least for now.

He's got to be doing this out of spite now Peter because none of the fans want him as the owner.

It's absolutely insane kp. For a start I'm certain the deal he and Ken did was dependent on him providing the proof of funds and satisfying the EFL, not Ken that he had the money. He failed to do so on four separate occasions and on the last two he didn't even show up to the arranged meetings with the league. Both the league and Ken announced the deal was therefore dead and the administrators said he was out of the running pretty much the day they were appointed. I'm still mystified as to how he got this injunction to begin with and given his track record in football how he ever expects to pass the fit and proper person test.

i would take the fit and proper test with a pinch of salt just now. The EFL will accept anyone that will pay enough for the club to get through the season. Lets hope Bassini's imaginary sponsor doesn't suddenly materialise if thats the case.
