Bolton Wanderers Football Club have released an official statement following a programme which was aired by BBC television on Tuesday 19th September 2006.

THE CLUB takes the allegations broadcast last night very seriously but owes it to its fans, Sam and all of its players and staff not to over react.

It is our duty to act only on facts and hard evidence.

The Club is committed to conducting a thorough and robust investigation into the allegations which were made in the Panorama programme. As part of that process the Club will work with Sam to establish the facts.

Bolton Wanderers has assisted with the Stevens inquiry throughout and remains committed to the highest standards of governance in football.

The Club feels it would be inappropriate to make any further comment until its investigations are complete.
