Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I think that we need some positive / uplifting news ASAP, as being out & about over the BH weekend the fans are completely deflated & flat - no one I spoke to is positive about next season. Nobody will be excited by next season until we are looking set to win the league. Even then there will be fea...

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?
I’d need the signings of the champ man regens of Bergson and Karl Henry to get anywhere near excited. Can see transition next year… Well exactly. Those are the sorts we need. I’m just convinced that a better manager would add a couple like that and get much more consistency out of what we’ve got. A...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
It’s the summer so we get the finances reeled out as to why little old Bolton simply have to be happy with league one football. We made a loss of £5.6M on the second highest turnover in the league. I think there are a lot of better managers than Evatt who would love that sort of backing. Unless the ...

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 gettin...

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: 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. I notice the 'give them adult resp...

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...
