Having been in the away end at Burnden Park when they were throwing darts into the Everton fans, I do struggle to have much sympathy with Bolton sometimes.

"We're trying to help your club". GTF Sky! Trying to help, you're making a circus of the clubs death. Utterly despicable and shameless coverage from a despicable and shameless organisation.
If i was him I wouldn't put a penny into the club.

According to BoltonNews website any new owner needs proof of funds of £25m. So no way for him to help

There are quite a few stages to go from where we are to going out of business completely. While we are still in the premiership there is always a good chance of a buy out and as long as our name is still big a la Leeds that can happen in the lower divisions too.
What it does bring to attention is that if the slide hits then someone needs to ensure the books are strong. Offload the high earners and rebuild even if it means relegation again to a lower division. Once the club is not spending more than it is earning it becomes attractive to potential buyers and then our name will ensure the top players for that division will come to us until we are back at the top.
Fingers crossed that never happens to us.

Noone should. If these clubs are to be saved, it should only be by their Supporters Trusts (even if that means establishing them). Both of them are in administration so it probably wouldn't cost that much, and the FA / FL could insist on them being fan owned by saying that only a Trust could hold the share.

You then get horrible messes like Coventry City though.

It may be a false supposition, but the wealth inside the Prem now means that the sort of charletons that have turned Bury and Bolton, (and others) to dust, simply couldnt afford to make a move on an established club.
That does not mean that a current owner couldnt over reach themselves and get cold feet, but even then, these days, to buy them out would still mean serious cash.
Over reach and go down? All bets off then.

Only Notts County and Portsmouth have been fan-owned and then sold out in recent English football history, IIRC. Swansea had a lot of fan representation too.

They did, And were persuaded to sell a % to the Mericans. And now they are where they are.
Wasn't it Portsmouth who were persuaded to sell their fan share and then the owners immediately hijacked all the club-owned areas around the stadium? Or was that another southern club?
Added: maybe Millwall?

There are only about 10-12 clubs set up right now to be long haul Premier League clubs. I’d say it’s the top 6, Everton, Leicester, Newcastle, Aston Villa, maybe Leeds and Wolves. Those are the only safe investments. Any other one can fall apart if a bad or malicious owner has it long enough.
(Yes Newcastle is in there. Mike Ashley would have driven a smaller club out of existence by now. Leeds too, if they came up they’d surely stay up awhile.)
