WANDERERS are back in for pre-season and the fixtures are announced next week, so join us for one last week of summer fun before the real business begins.

Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt are back to review the week’s headlines in The Bolton News, including a press conference with new sporting director Fergal Harkin and head coach Steven Schumacher.

We have a few more signings to (officially) talk about since the last show, including a man who could potentially lay claim to being the toughest Bolton Wanderers player of all time.

The departure of Aaron Collins is still a big story yet to reach its conclusion, so we dig into the details on his move to MK Dons in League Two, and what the future might hold for other Bolton players on the fringes of the manager’s plans.

We have a very special offer for listeners of The Buff Podcast - so take note.
