It was supposedly a guy called Nick Craig, although I don't think that was the name I read on the Bolton forum.Either way, as a representative of the EFL he has failed to protect his member clubs in favour of one other. Interesting the report has already been circulated to clubs.

Interesting the report has already been circulated to clubs. I don't think it's Nick Craig. I know Nick and he heads up the Public Relations side of the business.
It is Nick Craig, a screengrab circulated on social media from a site called The Lawyer of his profile and it described him as "The Football League's in-house solicitor and Bolton die-hard Nick Craig".
Must have got my Nicks' mixed up! Just to add, of course all the EFL employees are a supporter of one club or another. Most tend to be Preston fans, obviously, but there are two DRFC fans who work in that office too.

Interesting that Frank Rennie suggests we should be angry with the EFL not Bolton. Surely if Bolton hadn’t caused this nonsense the EFL wouldn’t have needed to show their incompetence.It’s like being burgled & getting angry at the Judge for giving a light sentence and forgetting about the scrote that’s robbed your telly.
We should all go to their place and celebrate their relegation with them.
“...and the chance to visit some new stadiums and cheat new clubs in new ways”.

I agree with him, as the EFL should have acted. As soon as their takeover didn't happen immediately after their opening game, as the Administrator assured them, they should have suspended them until the takeover was completed. They could have issued the 14 day notice for expulsion at that point, as this was likely to have knocked heads together to get it done.

And then, surprised at some of the choices of people who are football fans as well. Some work at clubs but are major fans of others for instance.
I bet that those couple of DRFC fans that work in the office don’t sit on the panel that made the decision on the Bolton v Rovers cancelled match.

I would be more than happy for Hill to stay with Bolton, at least until we have played them.
Of course, if our main 11 are fit they’ll just postpone it until we’re on our arses with injuries & suspensions!! Cheating b*st*rds!
