Re: Next Manager Poll
Different options down the list for sure and not directly comparable. Top 5 for me though all have relevant experience. Hard to look past folk who have managed in the league above and built promotion winning teams from this league or actually won promotion themselves.

Re: Taking Stock (port) ....A trip away to the neighbours. Sat Nov 9th, 3-0'clock.
I do have to chuckle darkly at the idea that we bottled it in the play-off semis, then the year after we got worse and bottled it in the play-off final - nice of us to get a bye... I get the narrative, of course, but it's absurdly simplistic and reductive to pretend we 've bottled every single big ...

Re: The ianevattable sacking
Ohhh Swiss consortium members! and all five internet-savvy Wigan fans I haven’t seen a single post or tweet or whatever from a Bolton fan in support of him. I think if you ran a poll and managed to stop other teams fans voting it would be 100% out. It’s as bad as Megson if not worse this. There wer...

Re: Taking Stock (port) ....A trip away to the neighbours. Sat Nov 9th, 3-0'clock.
When we look at league table and assess that we're "top 6," we still have a fundamental problem. Our defending is comedic. Even in a game where we scored 5, we still let 2 poor goals in. We are simply not good enough defensively. This gets pushed to back of mind, when you score 5. Easy to overlook....

Re: Taking Stock (port) ....A trip away to the neighbours. Sat Nov 9th, 3-0'clock.
For me the writing has been on the wall since we lost in the playoffs to Barnsley. That team had imo two premiership level players in Bradley and Trafford and I think we underperformed during the season as it was league position wise. But having got into the play offs we surrendered incredibly meekl...

Re: Taking Stock (port) ....A trip away to the neighbours. Sat Nov 9th, 3-0'clock.
Lots of good discussion here. I think the crucial thing is that we’ve sacrificed being a very good and balanced league one side for Evatt’s ego. We’ve got more than enough quality but that needs to be matched with solidity and fight. I keep coming back to it but Sheehan as a number 6 in league one i...

Re: The ianevattable sacking
He won't be sacked. Yeah. They’ve got all the money off us poor saps. And either Sharon et al have no leadership skills whatsoever or aren’t interested beyond playing at it. Don’t know which. More interested in Evatt than Bolton Wanderers which is what makes me angry. Only Allardyce truly elevated ...

Re: Taking Stock (port) ....A trip away to the neighbours. Sat Nov 9th, 3-0'clock.
Which poor member of the backroom staff takes the flak this time? Crainey gulps... Frankly I’m hoping jmhjb doesn’t have a probation period given his earlier post. I see George Johnston has said the players own it, they sent the staff out and had a frank discussion post match. Evatt signed every si...

Was there. Not going to talk about the game. Scraps in the crowd a la Burton. Ironic chanting and incredulous humour. Best bit was a drugs dog barking at some lad’s crisps. I smiled. Oh, smiling. Borsdane, I take it you mean the crucial away game late in Parky's second season when we got timidly be...

Just took a glance at the championship table. Derby sit in 12th. That’s Paul Warne’s Derby. You know the ‘you can’t play like that and get results in the championship’ nonsense Evatt comes out with Paul Warnes Derby.

Or maybe Sharon could actually run the club. You know. Show some leadership. I know that’s a rare trait but it’s beyond ridiculous.officer_dibble wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2024 7:00 pmShould have walked in the summer. Fans need to force the issue now.

Re: The ianevattable sacking
Oh good the video is now circulating social media. Put me right off my tea. Ughhh.
I don’t need managers to be likeable. If they win.
But Evatt is a terrible manager and a terrible person all in one. It’s hard to find anything to redeem even the tiniest morsel of sympathy.

Re: The ianevattable sacking
Forget sacking him. Any half respectable human being would have resigned now. Evatt is happy to take the money. Doesn’t even have the bottle to walk when he knows he’s failed. It would cost him hundreds of thousands of pounds to walk. No. It wouldn't cost him anything. It would prevent future incom...

Evatt will be planning a pretend public cry and talking about how hurt he is before reverting back to his bag of receipts.

I want this lot in 7am tomorrow. Bricks in backpacks on their backs running up and down winter hill till 7pm. Same Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It’s nothing less than they deserve. It’s time to treat them like men and absolutely hammer them into the ground. Time they learned some responsibility.

Re: Taking Stock (port) ....A trip away to the neighbours. Sat Nov 9th, 3-0'clock.
Evatt far worse than Megson. He’s inspired complete indifference. And the team he’s assembled are stealing a living here. There is nothing here. Spineless and mentally weak. Time and time again. Evatt is the worst (by far) thing to happen to this club. And I’m afraid the way the club is run top to b...
