Kandaurov nearly joined Blackburn a year ago but is due to join Wanderers if they can obtain a work permit.Bolton have failed in their bid to have the three-match bans received by Paul Warhurst and Dean Holdsworth overturned. The pair were both sent off by referee Mike Riley in the 2-2 draw against Leicester last month and their suspensions start with immediate effect. They had been due to miss the Barclaycard Premiership clash with Manchester United on January 29 but the postponed FA Cup tie against Stockport means they will instead be ruled out of the rearranged game. They will also miss the league games against Chelsea and Middlesbrough.Allardyce said: "Obviously it's a disappointing decision from our point of view as they'll be out for two very important Premiership games."Bolton's on-loan Japanese striker Akinori Nishizawa has cut short his season-long stay after failing to make an impact at the Reebok Stadium.The 25-year-old international has returned to the J-League club Cerezo Osaka in search of regular football after making just three first-team appearances – all in the Worthington Cup – scoring once."Unfortunately Aki was unable to make an impression on our first-team and we've agreed to let him return to Japan," Allardyce said. "With the World Cup coming up he needs regular first-team football."One target for Bolton, Francisco "Kiko" Narvaez, has instead signed for Extremadura of the Spanish Second Division.

Kiko, 29, who left Atletico Madrid in the summer and had been seeking a move abroad, has signed along with another international striker, Italy's Pier Luigi Cherubino.. Sam Hammam, the owner of Cardiff City, has promised to stop his controversial walks around the Ninian Park pitch after it was revealed he had been warned before on the matter. "The general consensus is that I should not be doing it, because if I don't stop it is going to become a very major issue even though it is in my rights to do it and even though it has never caused a problem ever, including during the Leeds game."If I do it this Saturday or a Saturday in six months' time it will become an issue. We need to preserve the good name of football."His decision came after it was revealed the former Wimbledon owner has been warned about walking around the pitch before.

John Nagle, of the Football League, claimed Hammam had been instructed in a letter three months' ago that the practice could not continue."The League acted fairly early on in the season following complaints from visiting clubs and wrote to Sam Hammam asking him to desist from walking around the goal," Nagle said.Hammam denied he had acted against the League's wishes, insisting an agreement had been reached."This guy is wrong in what he is saying," Hammam said. "They did say that after receiving a complaint and then when our chief executive contacted them it was absolutely clear that was superseded They said there was no problem in doing it. I only stopped doing it I think for one game and after that it was very clear that I am allowed to do it."Hammam has demanded an apology from the BBC ­ even though he had one of its reporters thrown out of Ninian Park following City's victory. Hammam reportedly confiscated a minidisc and ordered security staff to eject the journalist.
