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]
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]

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]
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.
