Bolton (sold to Football Ventures)

If Bury/Bolton are kicked out of the league, how do they correct the places the season after? Will there be an extra promotion space available in the league below?
 
But, but, how can this be, I thought ffp was brought in to stop this happening?
No one is mentioning FFP are they? FFP does nothing to stop any club accumulating ridiculous debt levels, it does nothing to scrutinise the laughable business model adopted by clubs like Bolton, and to to cap it all the FFP rules make it virtually impossible for any wealthy benefactors to take over Bolton (or any similar club) because if they did their hands would be tied on any sensible investment moving foward.
Badly-run clubs have always gone out of business, remember Chester, Halifax, Wimbledon, Aldershot, etc etc but in most cases what used to happen was a last ditch takeover by someone with deep pockets. But given the constraints of FFP, which prevent you from building a business from scratch with big but sensible investment, this option is not attractive any more. Well done FFP.

3 teams will be relegated instead of the normal 4, with 4 coming up from League 2 to get the numbers back up. Presume an extra one will be promoted from the National League.

If platini had had his way on debt in his original view on ffp, then, who knows, this may have all been avoided.
But he didn’t, and instead it was bent and perverted by .... well, we all know who.
The blood of Bury and Bolton is all over the hands of Gill, Rummenigge, and their cosy little cartel.
