Phil Parkinson leaves Bolton

Bolton Wanderers have confirmed they have reluctantly agreed to accept the resignation of manager Phil Parkinson and his assistant Steve Parkin.

News broke last night that Parkinson had resigned and the club confirmed their acceptance in a statement on their official website this morning.

It is the lastest blow for the Trotters who have been in administration since May. They were deducted twelve points at the start of the season, and amid struggles to raise a team in the absence of senior players they unilaterally postponed their League One fixture with Doncaster on Tuesday night citing concerns over the welfare of young players who’d been asked to step up to the first team to fulfil their fixtures.
