There's a complete absence of leadership through the club. I'm certainly not going to travel 250 miles to see yet another stultifying selection and unmotivated players more focused on themselves , especially if the game is under threat. Where's the club discipline?

I need someone to tell me what the players have achieved by this strike!
They knew the situation with Anderson and Bassini, i.e. Bassini couldn’t pay the wages as he did not have control of the club and Anderson had no intention of paying out any money at all.
What we had was a bad situation whereby the players were not paid and not likely to be paid April’s wages next week so I accept that it was a really nasty situation
BUT
The players refusal to play has now scuppered us for next season also.
The players will eventually get their money albeit extremely late. The vast majority will then move on to other clubs next season. The club itself though will receive swingeing sanctions from the EFL – who themselves are far from blameless.
I expect a heavy heavy fine – no money to pay it mind – but more significantly a probable points deduction for next season and, god forbid, maybe an extra demotion.
If the players had somehow held fire, played (and probably lost) these 2 games, they would eventually be paid very late and the club would be starting afresh next season. We now face a bad punishment thanks to the players.
I accept that Anderson and Bassini are mainly at fault but why oh why push us over the edge?

Once more the managerial influence of PP and his sidekick has been found lacking. It is obvious the situation could possibly have eventually righted itself and even if it didn't this useless squad would have been free to rob money off some other club quite soon. Surely with only two games to go Parkinson and the PFA could have told them or instructed them to carry on with only two games to go in the best interest of the town, the club and its LOYAL supporters. A close friend who used to sit by me gave up on his season ticket while we were still in the Premier League. He said he didn't like the way football was going, and he has been proven right. Pray that somehow we are soon out of the hands of thieves and vagabonds and live to fight on.

Spoken like a true trade unionist. These guys are not paid peanuts and are fortunate to be able to work their passion, to say nothing of playing for the shirt and a minimum of 10,000 season ricket holders. They are unlikely to gain from this action as they are eventually likely to be paid, while the club has been put further in the soup. I have to give my full support to the opinions espressed by davidm, Referring to other points I have rasied about possible statements from other stakeholders in the club, I notice Bassini, while confirming he did not yet have EFL approval, referred to conversaions with the lawyer of the Davies family. I wonder why he has not made a statement to put us more in the picture. BWFC is now like a rudderless boat with no-one taking responsibility to explain what is really happening. The manager, whose football has got the club in this predicament this season with no cashflow through gates due to his appaling football has obviously failed to influence his troops for the public good of this town.Meanwhile the local press is simply reporting happenings and doing no digging

While we all are in agreement that nobody would work for nothing BUT surly there must have been some compromise that could have lead to the players finishing the season. IMO the whole lot of them have put themselves first and the fans and club second. By all of them I mean Anderson, Bassini, Parky plus players and management team and I think that's what is getting Bolton fans so angry. So please let's not all fall out and slag each other off save that for the B.E.N. We should all be thinking about our club and what it's going to do to it. COYWM

Sure I read somewhere a couple of months back that the players wages were guaranteed by the PFA. If true it really does beg the question why go on strike now. Possibly the PFA only guarantee wages if a club goes under which raises the possibility that the players are trying to force the club to go under because they have no faith in Anderson or Basini.

Ken himself said he would not pay players wages as they are protected by PFA. I think the timing is purely down to, and I assume that someone higher up had advised, that do it now and the EFL panic. They are probably lucky that neither our opponents are near playoffs or relegation so a 0-3 forfeit wouldnt count. Imagine if a team was given a win without playing and it lead to them getting a play off or condeming another team to relegation. Would be uproar. Players strike after the fixtures have been played and the EFL shrug it off. Assume that Wednesday the game HAS to be played. Tuesday probably too early for a London club to come up, Thursday too close to weekend. Think Brentford would be right to refuse to play too without adequate and why should they really. Fans with tickets and hotels or trains booked for a weekend and then have to do a mid week trip with days notice for something they had nothing to do with.

West, I think that the PFA actually loans money to the club to pay wages, but in our current circumstances they are not guaranteed to get their money backb.

The players and our now anonymous manager, know fully well the very serious position their action would cause the club, yet they have continued in spite of this. In one fell swoop they have killed any support or sympathy, genuine supporters had for their position. With only two games and 8 days left, it is a disgraceful, cowardly decision with no though whatsoever given to the club or fans. En masse they can do one now for me and I hope none of them find a club to take them on afterwards. I thought the owner was dispicable but it seems he's to the only one infesting the club.
