Petition · past parliament

To hold a public enquiry into the ownership failings of Bolton Wanderers FC.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Bolton Wanderers FC are a founding member of the football league. The first team to win an FA Cup Final at Wembley, and also the first to postpone a game due to a player strike.

Hold a public enquiry. Why was Ken Anderson allowed to own such a prestigious football club

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because it's about something the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for. This would be the responsibility of the footballing authorities.
