Re: Red Hats and One-eyed Snakes - the ups and downs of new management.

Not sure if it is a good thing or not but this was in the Telegraph today: Former Premier League chairman Sir Dave Richards has rejected the opportunity to return to the game as the new chairman of Bolton Wanderers. Might open the door for John Williams, which is good. Really? He soon sussed out th...

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/17584703.welcome-to-wanderers-bassini-rides-into-the-unibol-after-takeover/ So I dunno if it's a very mild form of ptsd (w. all due respect etc.) but I feel incredibly flat about all this - quite possibly even more anxious than before. Really need to get over m...

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

Big question and concern (above the obvious ones to do with him and his lack of money), is what would be the ongoing involvement of Paul Aldridge, or even the Andersons, if any? Heard from a very good source that as part of the deal Lee Anderson is guaranteed first dibs on matchday mascot. And Ken'...

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

Bassini has no money, unless he is the front man for dodgy Thai cash Genuinely interested: How do we know the Thai cash is dodgy? Is all Thai cash dodgy? Should someone tell Leicester? Bassini said in his Talksport interview that he had no backers. All monies to be invested is his alone. It may be ...

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

I cannot believe that Bassini has the funds to buy us. There may be some other entity waiting in the wings; I hope so. Ken seems to repeat a mantra about NDAs, so I sense something is in the air. Maybe his trip to the US is relevant, maybe not. He now looks like he has washed his hands of creditors,...

Re: The next manager

I've said in the past, and been lambasted for it, I don't know why we (at League One status in this country) don't tempt the manager of the third/fourth/fifth club in Norway/Finland/Switzerland/Exceteraland's Premier League. That's what they pay headhunters/agents/scouts for. Isn't it? Why would a ...

Re: The next manager

Mmm. But what about Phil Brown or Mixu? Let me throw a few others into the mix: Graham Alexander from Salford City. Can we match his wages? Nigel Pearson. Currently biding his time in Belgium. Dull but accomplished. Danny Wilson. Local lad (Wiganer). Has a decent record. Uwe Rosler. Great work at Br...

Re: Hello everybody

None of the above. The Wild Boars may well become my new team if it all goes belly up in Lostock.

Re: 1970/71

I remember going to see us at Birmingham City. They were top and we were bottom of the league. 4-0 and 16 year old Trevor Francis scored the lot. He came off injured with about 20 minutes left. He was something of a bogey player against us; scoring last minute equalisers and winners; though after th...

Hello everybody

I am watching; with horror; the calamities at our club. I've retired and am living in Thailand.
