Bolton Wanderers latest: Brentford awarded three points as Championship fixture called off, EFL to take disciplinary action
Bolton’s rearranged home fixture against Brentford will not be played, with the Bees being awarded three points.The Sky Bet Championship match, originally scheduled for last Saturday, was postponed as unpaid Bolton players went on strike, and rearranged for next Tuesday.But statements on the official websites of both clubs and the EFL on Friday said that Bolton’s Safety Advisory Group had issued a prohibition notice preventing that contest from taking place and that it would not be played at a future date.Brentford are being awarded three points on the basis of a 1-0 win, which moves them up from 15th to 12th in the table.The EFL said Bolton, who are second-bottom of the table and already relegated, were guilty of misconduct and that there would be disciplinary proceedings taken against them.The EFL’s statement said: “Following the decision taken by Bolton Wanderers’ Safety Advisory Group (SAG) to issue a Prohibition Notice preventing Tuesday’s rearranged Sky Bet Championship fixture with Brentford from taking place, the EFL will not be asking that the game is played at a future date. “There is no provision under EFL Regulations to direct clubs to play at a later date than four days past the conclusion of the season and, as a result, it has been determined that Brentford will be awarded the three points on the basis of a 1-0 victory.“As a consequence, Bolton Wanderers is now deemed to be guilty of misconduct by the EFL which will result in disciplinary proceedings against the club being taken at an appropriate time.“The decision to award the victory to Brentford is taken under Regulation 33.2 and is independent of the proceedings referred to above.”That came after Laurence Bassini claimed to have taken control of Bolton despite the club’s insistence his potential takeover was off.

Bolton issued a statement on Thursday evening saying there would be no further discussions with the former Watford chairman.On Tuesday Bassini had committed to providing proof of funds for his potential purchase to the EFL within 48 hours, but Bolton said that deadline passed without the required information being provided.Bassini, however, views the matter differently.In a statement issued to Sky Sports News, he said: “I have taken control of the club this morning and instructed staff not to make any further statements. I have proof of funds and a watertight contract.”He added: “I will be attending the Nottingham Forest game on Sunday and I will put things right at Bolton Wanderers. Ken Anderson (chairman) cannot sell the club to anyone else, he is on notice and would be in breach of contract should he try to, I am the only person who can buy Bolton Wanderers.”
