Bolton were relegated from the Sky Bet Championship last season with only 30 points to their name after a campaign that saw them end up 19 points adrift of 21st place and safety.
However, they have more than found their feet in Sky Bet League One and are currently sitting in 3rd place in the table on the back of a run of five consecutive victories, including a 3-1 win at home over Port Vale yesterday.
Moreover, in news coming from The Sun journalist Alan Nixon on Twitter (image – below), there could be even more good news on the horizon for the Trotters.
Elaborating further in The Sun, Nixon says that “The Middle East investors have contacted a London-based lawyer to investigate the costs of taking over at the Macron Stadium.” Obviously any takeover gets the interest of the relevant fans, and it is even more so when the ones said to be interested are “Saudis” or from the “Middle East.”

Even fans of other clubs are hoping that there’s a sense of closure in this for Bolton.

As a final note of caution, Nixon does say that the process could drag on a while and become protracted in nature, this being due to internal club dynamics. Nixon says of this: “Chairman Ken Anderson and shareholder Dean Holdsworth have big stakes in Wanderers and no longer get on so negotiations will be complicated.”
