Bolton’s players have gone on strike after claiming they were left in an “impossible position”. The Trotters stars are taking the action over unpaid wages and bonuses at the cash-strapped club.
And their friendly against Scottish Premiership side St Mirren tomorrow has been called off. In a statement issued to the Bolton News, the players said: “Over the past two seasons we as a club have experienced unprecedented success in first achieving promotion to the Championship, then staying in the league last season.
“This was achieved despite extremely difficult circumstances. All players, current and past, who were contracted to the club have contributed to this success. “Over the course of the two years, on numerous occasions contracted players have not been paid on time. This has culminated in certain players not receiving their June wage.
