Bolton Wanderers have played a huge role in our community for generations and I want to see that continue. The constant reports about the club failing to meet its commitments are extremely concerning.

Together with Chris Green MP, Yasmin Qureshi MP and Leader of Bolton Council Linda Thomas, I have written to the EFL to ask for an investigation into BWFC’s finances.

The current EFL leadership have a duty to the people and communities that founded and sustained the football league over generations. A hands off approach is no longer acceptable.
