Re: Mackay to Wigan

I'm aware of Saville. Surely you're not comparing what he did to what Mackay did?

Re: Mackay to Wigan

The fact that Tan is a horrible vindictive bastard doesn't alter the fact that what they did was wrong. Two separate points. I just can't get behind this. What if Tan had hacked Mackay's personal cell phone to find the texts? Or hacked his personal emails? Would everyone be saying "Well, Tan should...

Re: Mackay to Wigan

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Those people who want Mackay to be banished for life need to think long and hard about whether they would want Vincent Tan holding their livelihoods in the palm of his creepy, gloved hand. Well I want neither, but I don't understand your point. :conf: Corr...

Re: Safe standing

Well a large portion of fans at Sounders games stand. No injuries in 6 years. However, that's an all-seater stadium.

And people think MLS is a retirement league. I had no idea Pires was even playing.

Actually, according to Wikipedia, he hasn't played since 2011.

Re: Worst Decisions Bolton have made over the years

as it happens - and we'll never know this - but I suspect Sam got out of Bolton at exactly the right time for him. He'd have continued to keep us up, I imagine, but I don't think he would have carried on dragging us by our balls into top eight premiership finishes... don't get me wrong - he probabl...

Re: Worst Decisions Bolton have made over the years

I think the biggest mistake was underestimating what a good manager Allardyce was. No, we don't know what Allardyce wanted in January 2007, but following his departure, everything Gartside did indicated that he just didn't get what an astonishing achievement it was that Allardyce got us into the top...

Re: Lennon announced on Offish site

Anyway, I like this appointment. Of the available candidates I think his resume was the most impressive and his results in the Champions League show he can put together teams that punch above their weight. That said, he's used to being a big fish in a very, very small pond. Winning titles after your...

I think you should use Lennon'sTwelve - as now we are all behind the manager (except fatshaft) - the crowd is that twelth man! ;-) Maybe, maybe. Though I like consistency. And let's face it, we'll be reaching for the pitchforks and bed sheets in a week or two... Please don't go with "Twelve" . . . ...

Maybe he means that with stricter financial controls, teams are less likely to take a punt on an overpriced player like David Ngog.

Re: Problems with Gartside

I appreciate the candid interview, but this bit made me shake my head. Very few players transfer from this level to Premier League – they [Premier League clubs] would much rather, as a rule, buy a foreign player rather than recognise a player that has dropped down. There are exceptions, but it’s no...

Re: Next Bolton Manager Poll

Considering the football only I'd lean towards Mackay but then again, I'm a white man, and there may be those at the club less than enamored with him. Possibilities of a great reward, but not without great risk. Lennon . . . certainly the most impressive CV considering the European exploits. But tha...
