Bolton Wanderers: Players and staff still waiting for March wages to be paid

Players and Bolton Wanderers staff are still waiting to receive their salary for the month of March, two days after being informed that a potential new owner would ensure that wages are paid on Friday.

On Wednesday, owner Ken Anderson said the club could be sold "within 48 hours," but an agreement has yet to be reached.

February staff salaries as well as players and coaches were paid late.

At the same time, former Watford owner Laurence Bbadini is in talks about a takeover, reports BBC Radio Manchester.

Bbadini, who had succeeded Vicarage Road in 2011 before selling to the Pozzo family a year later, had already been sentenced to a three-year ban from exercising authority duties in an English football league in 2013.

The punishment came after he was convicted misconduct and dishonesty with respect to financial transactions while in the club.

Bolton, who has eight points ahead of the Championship security, is due to appear again in court on Wednesday for an unpaid tax bill of £ 1.2m and other debts.

On March 20, the High Court gave them two weeks to settle their debts or risk falling into the administration.
