      Could be the 5-2 thrashing at New Springfield by Wigan Athletic if they are shut down on Wednesday.
      Problem is we may lose the 4 points if their record is written off.
      Shite that would be awkward unless Reading Rotherham and Millwall have gained points against our six fingered neighbours.

        That would be very awkward indeed, Bolton beat Rotherham and reading and millwall, perhaps we should be hoping they survive

        Not a chance they will fold or be shut down. Wishful thinking on your part methinks don.

          I know they wouldn’t make them fold but it would be fantastic to see them in the NW Counties league ground sharing with Leigh and Wigan Cuckoo Warriors at the sports village.

          Could be a viable solution for both clubs to share at leigh.
          Rebuild from the dire mess they’re in make a positive move looking forward and start again.

            This ain’t looking good for us, word is the shutters are 3/4’s of a way down and we’re in an even bigger scrap if they fully close, f in bollox.

              You need your rivals in sport so hoping they don’t go bust and that’s before the loss of points is taken into account.

              I think they will be forced to see the season out personally.

              This explains the various options and the company being liquidated is not, in my opinion, at this stage a likely outcome.

              In the absence of the debt being paid, or challenged, then I suspect the company will go into administration to give the time to sort out the mess.
              The administrator will want the team to continue as gate money will provide income to reduce the debt, although they may have to field Development or youth squad players if first teamers don’t want to play. However it may actually be in the players’ interests to carry on playing to the end of the season to put themselves in the shop window for when they are sold to service the debt.
              Obviously administration will involve a hefty points deduction either this season, or next if they continue which will make staying in League One difficult.
              From our point of view obviously immediate liquidation will be a bad outcome. But … firstly I think the EFL may step in with some temporary measures to avoid messing up the Championship so late in the season, and if the worst comes to the worst only 2 will go down anyway. 3 will come up from League One as normal, and an extra team will get promoted into League Two, so with Ipswich pretty well gone we still need to be doing better than Rotherham and Millwall.

                We would be behind the 8 ball though if points are lost.

                Millwall 36
                Reading 36
                Wigan 35
                Rotherham 35

                Only two to go down I reckon.

                With one place going to Ipswich the other one place will then as you say be between Millwall, Reading, us and Rotherham. There’s still time to go and we only have to be better than 1 of them – the spread of points means it’s not impossible if we can just get our act togeter as we did on Saturday.
                People seem to think that the other three are going to suddenly become world beaters in the run-in when they haven’t all season.

                    I am presuming on that they have factored in GD

                    Why punish every other team in the league who picked up points against them?
                    Boltons finances are they’re problem and should not effect anyone in the league whether relegation or promotion.

                      So what do you do to the sides yet to play them?

                      If you expunge the records of the games already played then it becomes a 44-game season, so nothing needs to be done about future games.
                      Alternatively you award all future games as a 3-0 (for example) win
