    What assets are these loans against? The land the ground's on can't be worth that much plus it would have to be cleared to build owt new on it.

    So they purposely cancel the Donny game and now when it does get played Donny who play by the book get penalised by having to play a far stronger squad of players.

    The only fair way to do it would be to only allow Bolton to use players they had available when the fixture was originally to be played.

    Bolton should have that game cancelled and Doncaster given three points for an unauthorized postponement. To me, this is where the EFL is really failing

    I kind of agree and believe Donny should be given the result.


    and on we go still waiting for their punishment for not fulfilling the Brentford fixture last season.

    Remember how hard they were on Luton a few years ago
    Also Middlesborough got deducted 3 points (and fined heavily) a few years ago for postponing a game due to 23 players being unavailable due to injuries, illness and suspension so hard to see how the EFL can avoid a minimum of 3 points per postponed game - so 9 more and there is a good argument for a higher penalty for 3 missed matches but I am not holding my breath
