It seems the main issue why Bolton cannot fulfil their fixtures is the players are refusing to play because they haven't been paid - not bad reasoning as it has gone on for nearly 6 months - what I cannot understand is why the PFA not stepped in and started pay the wages -It has been reported that the PFA have £50 million pounds sitting in the bank - The club at some point will have new owners so will not go on forever
The PFA may well have £50M in their bank, but do they really want to pay out? any history of them doing this previously?
No good loaning them players, give them some cash!I’m pretty certain they have loaned Bolton and bury players to supplement them but obviously they can’t just pay wages
Think he meant gave the players cash?No good loaning them players, give them some cash!
Dreadful situation.Just announced:
Bolton’s first game is on, Bury's has been suspended.
I know just my shit sense of humour. Bit awkward nowThink he meant gave the players cash?

Bad precedent to set though surely? "Don't worry lads you can run your club like a jumble sale and we'll just bail you out when it goes tits up!"Fair play to the PFA as it looks like the they read our site -They have just pumped £2 million into Bolton so the club can get there season going
I don't think they particularly "speculated" it sounds more like a boardroom level finance war between previous and current owners, Bury fans appear to think current owner is a crook and absolutely full of it.Bury is an example of what can happen if you "speculate to accumulate"
As a loan or have they paid off the debt? A loan I can see making sense, the owners have said they will pay over 24 months, players understandably want their money now.Fair play to the PFA as it looks like the they read our site -They have just pumped £2 million into Bolton so the club can get there season going
They spent a lot on players a couple if seasons agoI don't think they particularly "speculated" it sounds more like a boardroom level finance war between previous and current owners, Bury fans appear to think current owner is a crook and absolutely full of it.
I think from past experience the PFA only advance funds to pay their members' salary, or part of itAs a loan or have they paid off the debt? A loan I can see making sense, the owners have said they will pay over 24 months, players understandably want their money now.
Yeah I remember that but I was under the impression they had to turn that round pretty quickly after not going up and got rid of a good few. Either way let's hope they get it sorted, I think cov fans have a new found sympathy for clubs in these positions.They spent a lot on players a couple if seasons ago
How stupidI remember a few years ago Bury selling the land around Gigg Lane including their car parks to fund player purchases in an attempt to get to the Championship. Leon Clarke etc. wouldn't have been cheap. It rang alarm bells at the time and I've been expecting some trouble ever since, it appears to have been made worse by their most recent chairman being a liar.
I will help.
Every cloud...there might be a ground going on the cheap
That must have been a long time ago. I remember steam trains (just) and I am 62!It's a flipping long walk from Coventry though.
Visited Bury once by steam train (from Bolton), oddly enough passed Old Trafford on the way there. There was a cricket match in progress.
what about Bury??Fair play to the PFA as it looks like the they read our site -They have just pumped £2 million into Bolton so the club can get there season going

It was one of the last which is why we bought a ticket to Bury rather than somewhere more interesting.That must have been a long time ago. I remember steam trains (just) and I am 62!
