Bolton Wanderers fell into administration on Monday and will begin next season, in League One, with a points deduction

The club fell into administration on Monday, which will lead to a points deduction next season in accordance with EFL regulations and administrators are working as fast as they can to unfreeze accounts so that staff can be paid.The Bolton Wanderers Community Trust have been restocking the food bank, so that families do not go hungry.The Bolton News also report a local Championship club also donated 2,000 of shopping vouchers for staff to use.We have tried to offer whatever support we can to people and that has included trying to get some provisions in order that people can continue to live a normal life, Phil Mason, the club chaplain said. Staff have been hit hard by pay problems, caused by former owner Ken Anderson withdrawing any form of funding for the club several weeks ago, while players have not been paid since February, although the Professional Footballers Association have recently supplied a small loan to tide them over.Money problems even saw players strike and refuse to play their Championship game against Brentford at the end of April.Brentford were awarded three points on the basis of a 1-0 win, which moved them up from 15th to 12th in the table.The EFL said Bolton were guilty of misconduct and that there would be disciplinary proceedings taken against them.GETTY2

Bolton manager Phil Parkinson is preparing for life in League One after suffering relegation from the Championship and has 20 senior players out of contract in the summer

When people talk about football they often associate it with big salaries and luxurious living but the reality is that many of our staff as we all do live within their means. And that becomes very difficult when you have not been paid for a couple of weeks. It has hit home hard,” Mason continued.Through the chaplaincy and the Community Trust we have been able to offer food provisions. This has been made possible because of the kindness of some local charities, businesses and people who have not done it for publicity, in fact they have asked to remain anonymous.The reality is that a lot of staff here live day-to-day, hand-to-mouth but the situation for some means it is impossible to manage.Bolton ended the season in 23rd place, one point above bottom of the table Ipswich.
