A businessman has warned that Bolton Wanderers will go into liquidation within days - if he's not allowed to buy the club.

Bolton have been in administration since May and will start the League One season with a 12-point deduction.

An offer by Laurence Bassini has already been rejected by administrators, who have named Football Ventures as preferred bidder.

The EFL say they turned down his takeover bid because he failed to supply sufficient documentation.

Mr Bassini claims he can settle that debt immediately - he's been speaking exclusively to Chris Hall:
