Phil Parkinson EXCLUSIVE: Bolton manager reveals awkward goodbye to players as club enters administration
Bolton manager Phil Parkinson insists he will NOT turn his back on the in-trouble club, but has revealed to talkSPORT his awkward goodbye to his players as they face an uncertain future.Parkinson joined Jim White for an exclusive chat on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after cash-strapped Wanderers officially entered administration.It means derided owner Ken Anderson is no longer in control after his attempts to sell his shares fell through, and the relegated side will begin their League One campaign on -12 points next season.Getty3

Bolton will face a huge battle to stay in League One next season after their 12-point deduction

However, it seems there will be more on Bolton‘s agenda this summer than getting their finances in order, with Parkinson facing losing a number of his squad now the season is over.Asked if he has said goodbye to some of his players for the last time, the Trotters boss said: Its a bit awkward, really, because a lot of the players are out of contract.Weve got very few players under contract, so its all a bit up in the air.I just left it with them that Id be in touch when I know more. I contacted a couple of them yesterday to spread the news around that I had an initial meeting with the administrators.In terms of contracts and wages still owed to them, hopefully that will become more apparent in the next week or so.3

Bolton have endured a season to forget on and off the pitch

Boltons penultimate game of the season against Brentford was scrapped after their players went on strike over unpaid wages.And asked if he is also still owed money by the club, Parkinson said: Yes, all the staff are owed March and Aprils money.In any walk of like, when you dont get paid its difficult.A lot of people who work very, very hard for the club live month-to-month and theyre not having that wage packet coming in and that can cause problems.So that needs to be rectified and the new administrators are obviously determined to give people some positive news in the coming weeks. Parkinson also paid tribute to the passionate staff who have kept Bolton running unpaid for their sheer love of their club.And he says the new owners, whoever they may be and whenever they swoop in to save the Greater Manchester outfit, will be lucky to have them.There are a lot of very good people working at Bolton Wanderers who genuinely support the club, said the boss.There is so much good about Bolton going forward.All the bad publicity the club has had over recent years, take that away and look at what a new owner can walk into, in terms of the stadium, the hotel, the training ground, the great history of the club.Getty3

Parkinson believes entering administration is a step in the right direction for the long-term future of Bolton Wanderers

But not just that, the lifeblood of the club which is all those people who work behind the scenes, who would do that extra bit for the club and work without getting paid.Overall, despite the mess that was Laurence Bassinis failed takeover attempt, Parkinson believes administration is a step in the right direction for the long-term future of the club.At the moment thats going to take a bit of time to sort out, he added.I feel its in good hands with the administrators, theyre determined to get the club sorted, but its going to be a long journey to get Bolton financially on an even keel again.Unfortunately weve got to take the 12 point hit, but its probably a step in the right direction in terms of the long-term future of the club.
