bannedfromHandV Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Nope, sorry to the 3000 odd Bury fans but clubs have never been allowed automotic re entry into the league previously so why should they now? Like every other club that’s gone bust they have to start at the bottom, that’s fair unfortunately for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Bolton up to positive points now and 3 wins on the spin. 12 point off survival with 3 games in hand They have a decent enough names in the squad so could do it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 They're due to be punished for failing to fulfill fixtures against Brentford and Doncaster, apparently there's a good chance they could be deducted more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Bolton have been handed a five points suspended penalty, and a fine of £35k for failing to fulfil those fixtures, which has come as a surprise as most were predicting that they'd be deducted points for sure. Sets a dangerous precedent, now clubs know if they have an injury crisis, or even just a few key players out, they can just refuse to play without any real consequences.

I think Bolton's situation is/was somewhat unique, they didn't manipulate a situation to be more favourable for themselves, they were on the verge of going out of business for good. I think a clear distinction can be drawn between that and some club making up a story about having no fit players available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 They failed to fulfil the Doncaster fixture this season after their takeover, they'd already been saved, even most of their fans think they were in the wrong and are surprised that they haven't been punished more harshly. Yes ti's true that they had a number of U23s having to play for them at the time, but that shouldn't be a reason to just announce you're not going to play a game 36 hours before kick-off, they'd already played four games this season. Besides have just read that the EFL are appealing the decision as they feel it's too lenient, and you can see why as it doesn't really deter other clubs from failing to fulfil fixtures when it suits them.

VillaChris Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Was that the game when they couldn't get enough stewards or am I think of last season? Actually pretty sure there was leniency shown when they basically gave up on the last day and cancelled it as Brentford were travelling north. Weren't deducted points for that so yes probably fortunate to get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Maybe best thread for it but I know he is in his rights as they owe him money but as a millionaire I find it a bit disturbing that Sol Campbell wants Macclesfield wound up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
