Bolton have now signed FIFTEEN new players of which several of them will be on a lot more than minimum wage, rest assured.

Now, sorry to go over this again, but because Bolton were relegated last season, are they allowed a salary cap of 2.5 million in League 2 until the last running contract expires on League 1 wages?

Or are they only allowed a 1.5 million salary cap PLUS any contracts that are still running from League 1?

Bolton have recruited lots of good players.
Hope the EFL are crawling over their accounts as they show all the signs of further financial mismanagement.
For a club with such a fantastic history it’s terrible to see their downfall, but they should not be allowed to get away with further financial abuse.

If they get away with the financial issues, they must be favourites
Barrow and Harrogate look like they will struggle
Let’s hope Stevenage struggle too. How anyone with such an abysmal showing can avoid relegation is beyond me.

Onwards and upwards.

Not only have Bolton signed loads of players and are trialling more e.g. today against Wigan, but they managed to go on a training camp at Loughborough Univ. The Covid infection rate in much of Lancs. is 3 or 4 times higher than N.E. Lincs. Are players tested before preseason games?
They will play their SIXTH preseason game against Blackburn soon and are selling season tickets as if fans are going to be at each game.
The report on today's friendly is up on the club site. New manager, Evart, urging fans to join 'the revolution'.

Compared to our lack of impetus, news and lowered expectations, Bolton are gung ho!

I wonder what deal Jamie Mascoll, (Ex Wycombe pacy left sider) is on. No wonder Ollie is so frustrated by the salary cap.

Bolton are the Hare. We are shaping to be the Tortoise in this race.

That's why they are in the same league as us now

Oh dear. looking at what a lot of other clubs have got signed and from a lot higher up the leagues i fear for this season.
Unless we have some crackers lined up we are not going to be even also rans. Two weeks untill the season starts and we dont have any way near a squad of main players. We are getting some fine words and statements coming out of the managers office but thats it up to now.. and as we know how far fine words get us. And it does not matter how much experiance you have in a job, without the right tools you stand no chance

Yes, and my good lady reminds me that the hare wins the race.

Colchester entered another tortoise in the race today. Philip Day could have written this Chairman's Statement.

Good.list but misses some big names, James Vaughan gone from bradford to tranmere, Darren Gibson re-signed for Salford, for 2 examples.
Difficult to keep.track admittedly, I rely on bbc football and it misses allsorts, think they reported 4 of our 5 so far.

I looked for any sort of news on Glennon and Benson yesterday, and got an article from some Burnley paper that said they’d BOTH be going out on loan again this season. Seeing as Ollie made the call to Dyche ages ago now, I can only assume he wants them higher than League 2. Looking at our squad, I really hope I’ve got that wrong, we need them.

Some cracking signings in there. Ours are some of the weakest on paper. We’ll have to wait and see. (Football is played on grass etc)
