I have no time for Lennon but this really isn't his fault.
The club has been mismanaged for the financial gain and vanity of Gartside and his pals for years. Surprised it's taken this long for the shit to hit the fan as Eddie Davies has been taken for a total mug (he's no TB obviously).
Rotten to the core.

They're f*cked.
Bolton players unpaid
Going by results you could make a case for them not having earned it!
£173m in debt. Yet another masterclass in how NOT to run a football club.
I expect Gartside will be trotting out his "2-tier Premier League" idea again soon, with no relegation from the 2nd tier. Might struggle to get that pushed through for May though.

Speaking to a Bolton mate (STH) last week he said that he can't see them winning a game and is worried that any (half) decent players they have will be off in January. This was before the players not getting paid thing happened (although this may be Birch trying to buy time and work out exactly what is owed to whom).
Also the estimate is that it would cost them £650k to sack Lennon and obviously they're not exactly going to be able to attract anyone decent to replace him. Davies has pulled the plug so although he's willing to write off the loans if the club is sold there's no way he's putting any more cash in. As they are losing c£1m a month and are also behind with paying HMRC (don't know how much) it would take someone willing to invest a lot of money to sort the mess out.
As I said, they're f*cked.
