Bolton wins friendly despite lack of permanent players and farcical takeover
BOLTON Wanderers won a closed-door friendly against Bradford yesterday despite listing only seven permanent first team players on its website.
The financially troubled club, unable to make transfers until a takeover is finalised, fleshed out its squad with trial players including former Bradford striker Billy Clarke on the way to their 2-1 win.
It had a third official pre-season friendly cancelled by Oldham on Monday, originally scheduled for this Saturday, as Bolton players continue a strike over 20 weeks of unpaid wages.
