Bolton Wanderers have been given a stay of execution, so to speak.
The club faced the same fate as fellow North West Bury last night, but the EFL has given them 14 days to find a buyer.
However, Bolton could still be expelled today if they go into liquidation.

Dyspraxia Daddy: Horrible to wake up and see what's happened to Bury Football Club. People make comparisons with wages of big PL stars but the problems are closer to home. Poor vetting of owners and lack of support from the EFL. Hope some part of the club can bounce back
Stephen Lloyd: Feeling it for the Bury supporters this morning, and it seems unjust that Bolton are being treated so leniently when they have been in a mess far longer. Time to tighten up the fit and proper criteria.
It's a terrible day for football. The only good that can come of this terrible situation is a reform of how potential owners are screened and vetted. This should come about from an independent enquiry
