I imagine the questions will be along the lines off ‘why dont you sign spearing/dawson?’ ‘why are you playing bogdan instead of lonergan?’ ‘442?’ etc Will definitely be a magnet for idiots.

I thought last time it was compulsory that all questions had to start

"I've been following Bolton ** years and.."

generally followed by something numb like "Why do we always attack the south stand in the 2nd half?" or "Why are the pies so expensive?"
"Get your feet off the furniture you Oxbridge tw*t. You're not on a feckin punt now you know"

No laughing please just boos :D
Just going to hear 1st hand what DF has to say about squad, season coming up and anything else he wants to share with the fans (not holding much hope of any real exclusive stuff but will get the club speak direct from the horses mouth)

Should opportunity present itself, would you mind asking Freedman how often he briefs that Nixon fella. I'll be amazed if it's less than daily!

May not work perfectly - that's the trouble with democracy, lots of people are stupid - but I'm glad they exist: it's better than ignorance and radio silence.

Stupid people make the rest of us appear more intelligent. We need them.

It's just a pity they have more children thus increasing their numbers.

I wouldn't mind these things if the people answering the questions were honest rather than dishing out the same old unclear politicians answers to every question.

"Do you want to buy _____"
"We're always looking to strengthen the team but we have a few options on our radar"

"Who do you want to sell ____"
"I think we have a strong squad but if the right offer comes in for any player, we have to look at it seriously"


You could be there for an hour, listen to 30 questions being answered and come out without the slightest bit of new information. If I thought Freedman would give a proper answer, I'd go along and ask why he played 4-5-1 against Leicester and Blackpool, despite the fact that 4-4-2 had been far more successful for us all year, and if he thinks he got it wrong. If he was being honest, he'd admit he messed it up but I imagine he'd just trot out a line about being 'versatile' or whatever.

Or he might ask why you think you know better than him..

Anyhow can't be any worse than Coyles answer last time on the question of what he'd learned from our relegation season. His answer was 'nothing we were just unlucky'. Yeah of course.

a) Yes. Alert our rivals to who we wish to sign rather than do it on the quiet and avoid a bidding war :roll:

b) Yes. Tell your players we don't want you, but expect them to have their heart in it when you can't sell them :roll:

I'd much rather Dougie kept his gob shut so he can get the business done and spring the odd surprise on the opposition. As for your questions the answer is simple. With what he had he felt it was the best approach to the game. Give over with your obsession with 4-4-2 and let the man get on with it. He earnt that right last season.

it'll be dominated now by the Stuart Holden issue ..... oh, and the banal trivia stuff.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

I always look forward to the banal patsy of a question "Dougie what happens in a typical day for you?" or somesuch nonsense.

Think the official line was the club wanted to go in a different direction or something?

It was Tower FM over the tannoy on Friday.
