Bolton Wanderers Chair Doing His 'Best' To Find New Investors

League Championship side Bolton Wanderers majority stakeholder and Chair Ken Anderson said that he is "doing his utmost to find new owners" for the club, according to the BBC. He described comments made by Forest Green Rovers Owner Dale Vince as "very disrespectful" following Christian Doidge's collapsed transfer. Financial problems saw Bolton "just avoid administration in September." In a statement, Anderson said, "The club needs someone with greater financial resources than I have to take it forward. I along with everyone else at the club are doing our best to try and ensure that the financial position improves." In September, former Owner Eddie Davies gave Bolton a £5M loan "four days before he died to help the club avoid going into administration." Anderson asked for fans to "be patient" and support the club, which is 22nd in the league, as it looks to overcome "testing times on and off the pitch" (BBC, 1/7).
