Welcome to another episode of The Buff Podcast with a different twist. With Lord Henry Hewitt still globetrotting, Marc Iles was left the task of bringing you your weekly dose of Bolton Wanderers headlines. And, as usual, he doesn’t do it the easy way. This week’s episode is packed full of transfer gossip as the rumour mill finally gets into full swing for the Whites – and we call on the Lion of Vienna’s Ed Skelly to give his views on the various names which have been linked with the club.

MORE than 1,000 towels will be put out of commission in the EFL this weekend after the league made it illegal to dry a ball during a football game. Queues at Barnsley Dunelm's customer services have been described as "lengthy" and many hand-dryers in football stadia toilets around the country are now concerned for their own future. Here at The Buff we examine this breaking story with our usual detail and reverence, partly because there has been very little going on at Bolton Wanderers. Yes, Henry
