They took the decision to continue with BW and tough out what was always going to be a difficult season, believing that 2020/21 would be better, whether in level 3 or level 4.
They probably considered letting BW die and starting a phoenix club in the non-league sphere, perhaps in 2020/21. They might then expect better playing results in their initial season, and try and work their way back to the EFL in time.
I guess most would agree with their choice.
The owners knew they came into a very difficult situation. Points deductions, known and unknown, weak squad due to finances, protracted negotiations meant timing not the best. Now losing 1-7 at Accrington.
Their good news was the low price they paid for the club. After yesterday they will re-affirm that never again will Bolton Wanderers be in such a mess. But it will inevitably take some time to work through all the issues.
Tough with points deductions known and unknown, played 14, so 30 games to go, anything can happen, 3 wins in a row, just keep winning more than losing and see where we end up, whichever division good momentum into next season.
