Background
Bolton had begun the 2019–20 EFL League One season with a twelve-point reduction[1] and never recovered. When the season was suspended and then abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic they had never risen above bottom place and were subsequently relegated to EFL League Two on 9 June with a points per game ratio of 0.41.[2] Three days later, the club announced that both manager Keith Hill and his assistant David Flitcroft would not have their contracts, which ran until 30 June, extended.[3] On 15 June, Ronan Darcy signed his first professional contract with the club, keeping him at the club until 2022.[4] On 26 June Bolton announced that they would be releasing 14 senior players at the end of their contracts on 1 July, though also stated that when a new manager was hired they would be allowed to offer the players new contracts if they desired.[5] On 24 June 2020 Bolton Wanderers made an official approach to Barrow for Evatt to become their manager, and Barrow demanded £250,000 compensation should he make the move.[6] Two days later Barrow rejected Bolton's bid for his services, stating it was below the £250,000 they had asked for.[7] On 29 June, Bolton and Barrow agreed on compensation and Bolton began discussing personal terms with Evatt.[8] Evatt's appointment at Bolton was confirmed on 1 July 2020.[9] On 3 July Ali Crawford returned to the club, signing a new two-year contract.[10] The club confirmed on 9 July that Home Bargains would continue to be primary shirt sponsor for the forthcoming season.[11] Bolton's first signing was the leading goalscorer of the 2019–20 EFL League Two season, Eoin Doyle.[12] This was followed by the signings of Antoni Sarcevic on 15 July,[13] George Taft on 20 July[14] and Brandon Comley on 21 July.[15] The same day that the club signed Comley, they announced that long serving academy director, former player and sometime caretaker manager Jimmy Phillips would be leaving his role, ending a thirty-year association with the club.[16] On 28 July, the club announced their first loan signing of the summer with Tom White joining from Blackburn Rovers for the season.[17] July ended with the club confirming the return of Macron as their kit supplier.[18]
Bolton started August with the signing of Liam Gordon on a two-year deal.[19] Further signings that month were permanent deals for Ricardo Santos,[20] Reiss Greenidge,[21] Gethin Jones,[22] Nathan Delfouneso,[23] Matt Gilks,[24] Jak Hickman,[25] Jamie Mascoll[26] and Alex Baptiste, who had previously played for the club between 2013 and 2015. A season long loan deal for Billy Crellin was also completed.[27]
Pre-season friendlies
On 24 July Bolton announced a Pre-season friendly against F.C. United of Manchester on 12 August.[28] However, the game never took place. They played unannounced pre-season friendlies against Atherton Collieries on 1 August, winning 3–0,[29] Bamber Bridge on 8 August, winning 7–0,[30] and Loughborough University on 11 August, winning 6–0.[31] In the match against Loughborough University Dennis Politic was injured[32] and it was confirmed on 20 August that he was likely to miss the whole of the forthcoming season[33].On 14 August Bolton announced they would play their final pre-season friendly against Championship side Blackburn Rovers on 29 August,[34] but this was soon cancelled after Blackburn's EFL Cup match was brought forward.[35] As a replacement, Crewe Alexandra announced they would be playing against Bolton on 28 August.[36] Bolton beat League One side Accrington Stanley 3–0 on 22 August,[37] but their pre-season 100% record was ended when a youthful Bolton side lost 5–1 to local rivals Wigan Athletic on 25 August.[38] Bolton finished Pre-season with a 0–3 home defeat to newly promoted League One side Crewe Alexandra.[39] A day later the club announced that Antoni Sarcevic had been named club captain for the forthcoming season.[40]
