• Deadline was extended but EFL issued late-night ultimatum
Bolton have been given 14 days to complete a sale of the club or be expelled from the English Football League by an EFL board which expressed its frustration with a drawn-out takeover process which fell apart at the weekend.
The EFL’s statement was issued at 11pm on Tuesday, at the same time as the expulsion of Bolton’s neighbours Bury was announced, demonstrating the very real threat facing Wanderers, one of the league’s founder members in 1888.
