Re: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I do feel pretty entitled to expect them to turn up 46 games out of 46 and play-offs for whatever k per week they're on. So if it's perjorative (and clearly it is). I'll wear the badge with honour. I've been watching football a while now and I've never seen a Bolton team show up every game in a sea...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
My sense of entitlement isn't about promotion. You have to earn that. I didn't think it was entirely unreasonable to finish third. That's what I hazarded pre-season and again in Jan, when some were getting a bit giddy. He had enough through the door to be pretty competitive. In fact, the team shows ...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
It felt odd at the time that we spent money on Dan - freebie maybe, but we paid. In a page-filling round-up on this last deadline day the BN said it was a £250k fee. He's on a three-year contract so to make that cost up to seven figures he'd need to be on £5kpw - not impossible, but again it would ...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
Whether we should or shouldn't be in L1 is immaterial. Ultimately a good manager gets the best out of the players at his disposal. The best managers manage to get more than the sum of the players out of them. Evatt probably comes in at decent. He mostly gets a decent tune out of them, but not consi...

Yeah, I thought his contract value (package etc.) Was about a mill, mate, is what I meant...Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 9:03 amI thought Dan was £300,000. Still a lot of money, but nowhere near seven figures.

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
That's £4.5 Million pounds. Us getting £4.5m from the fans and Evatt being backed with £4.5m this season are not the same thing and I think you're well aware of that. I am, wonder which way the fans who dipped in might see it? We're told it all counts, add two home wins on for advertising hoardings...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
He has been backed. Considerably. He has also failed to deliver on the targets he went public with. I get it. However, through all his failings, until he isn't, he's our manager. And all those spineless bottlers are our players until they're moved on. We need to support them and get behind them, bu...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
Once more, leave the sense of entitlement will you please. We are NOT a big club. We are a once big club that almost was wiped out of the league and are trying to rebuild. I think some.fans need a big dose of a reality check. If some could get off their high horses about us having a divine right to...

Re: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public
The minute you start using the word "clueless" you're talking about understanding and interpretation which some might call competence. I don't think you have to go anywhere near topics such as alzheimers, to suggest that if "having a clue" is the criteria then you need to measure it. It's another si...

Hm. Well, just cast your minds back to when you were 16 years old. Me, I wasn't making too much sense back then. I'm almost 85 now and still don't have an answer; at 16 I thought those you voted for were supposed to be able to provide it. Took me quite a while to, realise it was all a Punch and Jud...

Re: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public
It'll probably get worse. Time is the enemy. Everything we built in our era is either falling down or in need of expensive maintenance and the very thought of it has the investors running to get their money out; that's why so many M and S and co etc type shops are empty. Bolton is a shining example...
