Lennon: Takeover means 'brighter future' for Bolton

Bolton Wanderers manager Neil Lennon has spoken of his relief at the club being taken over.

Bolton Wanderers, who are second from bottom in the Championship, have agreed a £7.5m takeover by the Sport Shield consortium, headed by former striker Dean Holdsworth.

It follows the High Court's decision to grant Wanderers until 7 March to settle an unpaid tax and VAT bill.

And Lennon is delighted the club is finally moving towards a solution to their financial troubles.

"It's the end of an ongoing saga, it's great news for the club because it's been a struggle on and off the field in recent months," he told 5 live Sport's Mark Chapman.

"We're hoping with this news today that there will be some stability within the club and we're looking forward to a brighter future."
