some hope. we did think it would not come to this as you mentioned, there was a deal that seem to be in place on friday but that collapsed in dramatic circumstances on saturday and then efforts have been made to resurrect that. although the deadline has gone i understand that talks are still ongoing and vfl are being kept abreast of progress. i understand that some hurdles have been overcome and others remain and there is a mood of cautious optimism around this deal now and a sense that people are helpful of getting this deal done and perhaps bolton may not follow the same path as bury but it is at a deck that, as a delicate stage at the moment but a sense of cautious optimism. the cautious optimism was coming out of gigg lane 24 hours ago and there's fa ns gigg lane 24 hours ago and there's fans behind you will be aware that things can change ever so quickly. what is the feeling amongst them, they must be fearing the worst i

fans. my three sons are all fans and ido fans. my three sons are all fans and i do not know what we would do. it isa i do not know what we would do. it is a horrible thought there might be no football club in 24 hours. and to think that unlike bury have been scratching around in the bottom of the football league for a while, just seven years ago bolton were a premier league side. they had 11 seasons amassing all those riches and there's fans must be wondering where on earth it all went wrong. there's been some highs and lows as a bolton fan in recent years as you say just recently they were in a bolton fan in recent years as you sayjust recently they were in the premier league and have 11 seasons. their star players in a team, the world cup winner included but the decline started really in 2012 when the club got relegated and since then there has been financial problems, very tough season since the club went into administration in the club went into administration in the summer. they were docked 12
