Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
^^The issue with Nlundulu is not that it was a poor transfer. It’s the hubris of Evatt thinking that we can develop him into the next ‘Ivan Toney’ and that as a league one club we can afford to take such risks with limited resources and the idea we don’t need to pour every thing we have into getting...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
The support and backing is undeniable - don't think anyone is disputing that at all. The failure to get up is also undeniable. However, failure happens (see half a dozen premier League managers who did the same - doesn't make them crap....) Where it gets tricky in my mind is that repeated failure h...

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: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public
Regardless of competency, there needs t be a line in the sand that applies to all, or at least the majority of citizens. In voting age has always been that line Competency is determined by common sense, or should be, a mandate for all arguments. It's rather sad that the armed forces should be the s...

Re: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public
You see your argument about competence is a distraction and do you seriously think there are 16yo taxpayers out there? My argument is they are mostly absolutely clueless at that age about anything outside of social media and what their mates are upto, throw in a lot of parents who still think littl...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
You'd think he was the worst manager in the league, not one of the best..? Wouldn't you just :roll: I think he’s what he is. A league one manager at a big club. Like Lee Johnson at Sunderland. Or Phil Neal here. He’s hit a ceiling. And now his players are saying exactly what I’ve said for two seaso...

Re: 2024, hoodwink and bamboozle the public
People with mental health problems should not vote, no matter what age to be fair. Given the attitude of some perhaps five would be an appropriate time to be given the vote because they are setting off on the lifelong course of education and work? No, thought not.

Someone please tell me what a old fogie has a clue about what is going on in the world with real issues other than what The Daily Mail tells them? Just as legitimate a gripe. Beg to differ fella.

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...

Re: Our formation
That shows in microcosm, Sheehan's disappearance. Every time (in the clip). Their 9 has done a very good job, but Sheehan looking to adapt to it doesn't really happen. Edit: It would also be a brave man, to suggest Santos should have been doing "something brave" with it as Evatt said in post-match,...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I’m not sure what message people expect. There are two scenarios. 1) Nothing has yet been decided. Maybe Sharon and the board are considering budgets Evatt considering his future. Nothing to say yet. 2) Everything is carrying on as normal. Nothing to say. Season tickets are sold. There is no point i...

Mate, you can wish for people like Ainsworth all you like. If we removed Evatt to bring him in tomorrow, I'd be getting a refund on my season ticket. It's not just a step backwards. It's Marty f'in McFly reversing his DeLorean into the Hanging Gardens of Babylon There's a reason his teams follow up...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
Don't compare Gareth Ainsworth and Sam Allardyce Allardyce evolved here. He came in proper long ball, long throw, thought Johansen was too small…he changed over time here and became rounded. Didn’t take that long either it was less than two full seasons till he was doing everything to sign Youri an...
