We are due to receive the tape of the game sometime between now and Wednesday a spokeswoman said yesterday

“We are due to receive the tape of the game sometime between now and Wednesday,” a spokeswoman said yesterday.She added that, if Uefa used video evidence, disciplinary action “won’t be likely until January. There is no huge rush to look at this because Leeds are no longer in the Uefa Cup.”Uefa recently used video evidence against the Newcastle striker Alan Shearer, who was banned for two games for elbowing the Internazionale defender, Fabio Cannavaro, after the referee had not booked the England captain at the time of the incident.For video evidence to be used, the incident must be one the referee did not see at the time. If there is a case to answer, Uefa will inform the player and the club, and ask them to submit a statement. The incident is then referred to the control and disciplinary committee.The Bolton manager, Sam Allardyce, looks ready to sign the Argentinian centre-half Julian Maidana. The 30-year-old defender, a free agent from Racing Club, has impressed Allardyce during a week on trial and a contract is now being discussed with his advisers. Maidana has previously had trials at Manchester City and Blackburn, but seems to have found a home at Bolton.Allardyce, who is likely to take Maidana on until the end of the season, is also looking at the possibility of signing his Racing Club team-mate, the striker Nicolas Pavlovich, on a similar basis.Pavlovich has also done well in a trial game and could be offered a deal, although he would face competition with the arrival of Russian World Cup attacker Vladimir Bestchastnykh.The Spartak Moscow forward has flown in for fitness tests and could be signed by the Lancashire club pending a successful application for a work permit.The administrator in charge of Leicester City is “cautiously optimistic” over the future of the club. A club official announced at the weekend that the administrator had recommended the major creditors to accept the proposals put forward by a consortium headed by Gary Lineker.In a statement, Nick Dargan of Deloitte & Touche, said: “There is still a lot of hard work still to be done and a successful conclusion is by no means certain.

The first and most obvious requirement is for the consortium to finally secure their funding and they require the full support of the Leicester public to achieve this.”Dargan believes that a deal could be concluded early in the new year.Greg Clarke, speaking on behalf of the Lineker consortium, said: “Gary and the consortium welcome this announcement. We aim to conclude a deal that will result in a broad-based ownership of the club by the people of Leicestershire as soon as possible.”The consortium is believed to be only £400,000 away from its target.. Leeds successfully negotiated a potential manager’s graveyard, on a night when everything finally went right for Terry Venables and possibly spared him the indignity of Christmas in the dole queue. After the last few weeks that Leeds have endured, any doubts over whether a victory has been earned in full are the least of their concerns.”It was all that long-range shooting practice we’ve been doing,” laughed Venables “It’s only one win, but it was convincing. The pressure was really on and they came up trumps.”Bolton had made all the early running.

Per Frandsen’s free kick, Youri Djorkaeff’s surging run and shot and the sweeping move started and almost finished by Jay Jay Okocha all threatened to give them a quick lead.It look ominous for Leeds, but, completely against the run of play, they took the lead after 11 minutes. Mills admits that he scores very few goals, but when he does they can be special and this one fell squarely in that category. Running at the Wanderers’ defence from halfway, he took a return pass from Harry Kewell and lashed what looked like an optimistic effort with his less favoured left foot. It never looked remotely like finishing anywhere other than in Jussi Jaaskelainen’s top corner.If there was little they could have done about that moment of inspiration, Bolton brought their next misfortune upon themselves. Ian Harte’s cross from the left was harmless enough, but Ivan Campo, Bruno N’Gotty and Jaaskelainen all left it to each other and saw the ball hit the woodwork. As Jaaskelainen scrambled to reach the rebound, Kewell headed the ball across the face of goal to Fowler, who could perhaps have been ruled offside, but he was allowed a simple tap in for his first goal since his return from hip injury.Bolton should have been back in the match midway through the first half, albeit in bizarre circumstances.

Again the result was spectacular as the ball ripped into the top corner for a goal that made it all look altogether more straightforward for Leeds than it actually was.None of that was much consolation to Sam Allardyce, who must have thought that his struggling Bolton team was meeting Leeds at precisely the right time, only to find that he had caught them on the wrong night.Bolton Wanderers (3-5-2): Jaaskelainen 5; Bergsson 6, Campo 5, N’Gotty 4 (Whitlow, 77); Barness 4, Tofting 6 (Farrelly, 78), Frandsen 5, Okocha 6 (Walters, 80), Charlton 5; Djorkaeff 7, Pedersen 5.
