Bolton have contacted the Football League about the conduct of fellow Championship side Sheffield Wednesday in transfer talks over Mark Davies.

Financially struggling Bolton cut Davies' price to resolve an issue over wages and thought a deal had been done.

With the player set for a medical on Thursday, he was pulled out of Tuesday's league meeting between the two clubs, which Wednesday won 3-2.

However, the transfer was put on hold over an undisclosed development.

Bolton then complained to the Football League, although the two clubs are believed to be back in negotiations and the midfielder's transfer could yet go through.

Another Wanderers player, Zach Clough, decided not to accept a transfer to Bristol City, despite a fee being agreed between the two clubs.

Bolton are trying desperately to raise funds before Monday's High Court appearance, when they face a winding-up petition brought by Revenue & Customs.

There had been hope before Christmas that a takeover of the club, £172.8m in debt, would have been completed by now.

However, discussions with various parties have failed to reach a successful conclusion.

Bolton are bottom of the Championship and if they went into administration, which is still a possibility, the 12-point penalty would leave them 18 points from safety.

he's leaving on a free transfer now isn't he? So we've goner from 750K to nothing in a week just to get him off the wage bill  Rolling Eyes

We've also had to pay up part of his contract so how much have we actually saved? You cant make this shit up can you? It's comical.

BWFC business as usual .... player worth 3 or 4 mill a season ago....going for nowt...in fact paying them to take him off our hands. 
I'm curious as to who is making these decisions at the moment with Darkside supposedly out of the picture.

Doesn't sound as if we have much of a choice in this, it's either let Mavies walk for free or we're stuck with his wages on the bill.

Trevor Birch, the guy who replaced him probably.

Birch was brought in exclusively to deal with prospective buyers and negotiate the deal to sell the club.

Hence why he's been sat in a room at The Macron for the last six weeks playing Candy Crush on his phone and not a lot else.

Isn't Mark Davies's contract up at the end of the season? If so, I can see why Wednesday would baulk at paying 750k when he is a free agent in a few months time.

He had 18 month left on his contract.

It's off.

He'll be on Teeside tomorrow.

(Possibly).

And now it's official.

And it looks like someone at their end finally had a look at his Wiki page and went "Ooh, hang on......"

And then somebody at our end went running to the Football League crying about it.

Which then killed it stone dead.

Genius.

I thought the people we'd brought in to replace Gartside were supposed to be "experts" at this shit?

Wednesday came to their senses at the death.  Can't blame them for that.

Wednesday said he failed a medical when he hadn't had one...
