Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

I'm getting the sense now he's going to stay, with some kind of rallying call from him and Sharon released later this week.

It's not what I'd want but I think it's becoming more likely.

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

Only really sinking in today but the prospect of another season (at least) of this awful league is massively depressing. On Saturday, I was too numb to really feel it. We hadn't been involved in the match at all so there wasn't that despairing "what if?" feeling I might've got if we'd have come clo...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

So with Paris gone we need to replace what he offers, but the player we sign also needs to be able to win the ball, battle in the air and lead the team by running through brick walls. That Clark Kent lad who plays for Sporting Kansas is supposed to be good... I'm desperately trying to work a Superm...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

Ian has been very clear that he views this club as a vehicle for his inevitable rise to the Premier League. We are very fortunate to get to rid his coattails as Jesus guides him on. If he views this as no longer where the lord intends for him to attain greatness, he may move on. When prophecy fails...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

If you were Evatt, why would you leave unless you have received a great offer elsewhere? Me personally? If I felt I couldn't do the job to my best level I'd resign, yes. Mileage varies, though, and I agree with your point. I think the worst thing for the football club is a half-arsed, sulking Evatt...

Quick thought.

If we went back-4 and signed Ashworth, are people then happy with that one?

I think I would be, yes.

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

I like what I've seen of Ashworth, but he'd presumably need to be given a reason as to why it makes sense for him to sign permanently given he's so regularly been left out.

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Well, I know for a fact Moulden's trained with us previously.

Nixon's now also reporting Evatt wants to sign Ashworth permanently.

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

I didn't like Sharon (to my eye) playing the gallery for a peerage in the commons the other day. Ditto. I was surprised she was there at all and was surprised again that she wasn't more measured in her comments. You don’t get peerages for select committee appearances so I think that’s wide of the m...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

Days after being beaten (again) in a local derby and the day before a crucial fixture against a then promotion rival: "I've haven't enjoyed this week... it's taken an awful lot out of me" and "I'll reset in the summer and think about what happens in the future". A sure fire way to rally the troops....

He had a wobble, in February when he was on about "the world's against me." If he's that fcuking soft, then it's pretty obvious why the team is. Stats <> Bollocks.

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

I think we'd been poor before Hird's departure, hadn't we?

And in any event, our most glaring failure have been occurring since before this season.

I’d be amazed if there isn’t. If we go into next season with Evatt and a similar squad it’s going to be incredibly grim. I could see it being bottom half.

I don't disagree there should be, I'm just not convinced there will.

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?

Also concerning, is that in his post-match press conference yesterday, he claimed our performance was "unrecognisable" and he couldn't understand why it went wrong.

Did we keep the receipt? This is a big thing for me: his behaviour in the press and his general character. He seems to have a great deal of self-regard but is also very sensitive to criticism and, in my view, fragile under pressure. Too often he stokes animosity only to end up on the wrong side of ...

As a side, can someone explain how we've become one of the most hated teams in the leagues?

Evatts arrogance or our fans?

Both.
