Bolton Wanderers players strike over unpaid wages days before High Court hearing
Bolton players have gone on strike for the second time this year after the Championship club failed to pay their staff for March.Employees have not been paid on time for a second month in a row as uncertainty continues to cloud Wanderers.On Wednesday, the High Court will hear a winding-up petition issued by HMRC over an unpaid tax bill of 1.2million, having adjourned the case on March 20.Owner Ken Anderson had been hoping to sell Bolton before Wednesday’s High Court hearing1
Owner Ken Anderson had been hoping to sell Bolton before Wednesday’s High Court hearing
Bolton had told the High Court they were in the process of selling the club but no deal has been finalised, leaving staff facing late payment once again.Players have been angered by the lack of information they have received regarding a potential takeover or Wednesday’s hearing, leading them to take action on behalf of all club staff.Wanderers still face the threat of liquidation or administration, but the adjournment means they have avoided a 12-point deduction this season. Such a deduction may prove academic anyway, with Bolton still five points adrift of safety in the Championship despite Saturday’s 2-1 away win over QPR which led the London club to sack Steve McClaren.Bolton have already faced winding-up petitions over unpaid tax and VAT five times in the last 18 months.They won a similar stay of execution in the High Court three years ago to allow previous owner Sports Shield BWFC to complete a last-minute takeover.Current owner Ken Anderson bought a stake in the club during that buyout and took majority control in 2017 after Sports Shield went into liquidation.
