There’s a real chance of Bolton going into liquidation this week, in which case all their games this season would be expunged. After our opening day home defeat, we’d be 3 points better off, as would Derby. Preston and Bristol City would both be 2 points better off.

Not quite right. We also won there, so we'd actually lose 3 points. However, the teams above us won home and away v Bolton, so we'd be 3 points better off relatively. Would make end of season very interesting.
That said, hope Bolton survive. No true football fan would want to see them fold.

Could this really happen, Surely someone will bail them out. They have more prestige than Portsmouth , Bournemouth or Wimbledon and they helped out,I personally can’t see it happening.

Are Coventry also in serious trouble too?

This is genuinely serious for Bolton. If a takeover does not happen by midweek (and there are lots of big creditors for a buyer to do a deal with), then in order to go into administration (as opposed to liquidation) somebody needs to come up with around £20m by the middle of this week to pay off all of the secured creditors plus a minimum of 25% of unsecured creditors, as per EFL regulations. If not, then it’s liquidation and good night Vienna - immediately. The scale of the debts is eye-watering.
