>Following the failure of Bolton Wanderers to provide formal confirmation of its ability to meet its obligation to fulfil its Championship fixture against Brentford FC on Saturday (27 April), the game will not go ahead as planned.
>Earlier on Friday, the playing staff at the Club issued a collective statement confirming that they had decided not to fulfil the remaining fixtures of the season unless they received monies owed to them.
>As a result of these disappointing developments, the League has been forced to suspend Saturday’s fixture and under EFL Regulations, the Club is now deemed to be guilty of misconduct and will be referred to an Independent Disciplinary Commission.
Have you ever seen anything like this? What a fucking mess Bolton are in. Good thing neither side have anything to play for otherwise this could have been even worse.
If Bolton dissolves, who takes their spot? Do four teams get promoted from League One? Do they just play ahead with 23 teams instead of 24 and adjust for the following season?
Angel Roberts
whoever scores the most away goals goes up on aggregate
Sebastian Martin
Yeah, but then you have 23/24 teams in the league below. How does it even out?
Robert Russell
Just move an extra team up in every league apart from the lowest
Brentford unironically would have probably have lost this game if it went ahead. They're getting only a third away win this season and it will be by forfeit.
Christian Miller
What Bolton players would you recommend scooping up as free agents when you inevitably stop existing?
Cameron Edwards
the most based moment of football. we had this 38 year old lump of shit being useless all season, but for one moment, and not a moment more, he scored when we needed, even straight after he even fucked up the celebration by struggling to take off his shirt. now we have him minus the on moment up front
Charles Perry
if my club's gone that means i have to leave sp/ right
You know Forest will probably benefit from this as well m80.
Brandon Watson
honestly not many, wheater can still cut it, and connell is getting some sniffs from some prem clubs, he's kind of a mini 17 year old gerrrard
Cameron Reed
North Ferriby United got liquidated (which is rare with football clubs, they mostly just die or go into administration) last month. They expunged their record, so most teams lost points, and they're relegating one less team to the tier lower down.
Logan Gonzalez
I think worst case we're sent to bottom of the football pyramid, we've been around since the beginning of league football so hopefully the fa wont just let us disappear.
Hudson Gutierrez
Most likely third bottom in the Championship gets a reprieve and stays up.
