Davo and Ngog up top, just doesnt scream goals to me.
'striker' or no, ngog'll get 40 in 8 months if he stops here.

anything we can do to delay stuart getting a first team game before march while berserking our way to promotion by febuary needs doing.

if not selling davide does that , then , dont sell him.

coz 'coyle' and 'top flight' needs all the help it can get. and saving stuarts knees for that should be priority numba one .

40 in 8 months? I doubt he'll have 40 shots all season. Point taken though...which I think was keep hold of our better players. Who would we buy with £4million?

Hmm, any idea if it was under Kenny or Rodgers?? Just wondering how recent the bid was like, and of course if we'll hear any more of it.

Do we want to? A million doesn't buy much in the way of quality these days. If we're looking to build with a view to getting back up top we don't want fleecing by the Liverpools etc. Glad we turned it down, if it's correct. Fxck em.

No, definitely not. I was asking merely because at his age, and at such a delicate point in our clubs history, the last thing we need is another 'will he, won't he' saga or the lad having his head turned.

Sky sports saying Swansea want Mavies. If i was Owen i'd say £15million, then its either going to send them away for not wanting to over pay or they're going to give us £15million in which we can go off and get someone else who can do a similar job

Thought it was best to put this here

http://www.newsnow.co.uk/A/588655655?-11201" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


BOLTON Wanderers are seeking to make up to 17 staff redundant as part of continuing cost-cutting measures after relegation at the Reebok this summer.

The Bolton News understands that chief scout Colin Harvey has left the club, with other changes expected in the next few weeks.

This follows the departures of chief executive Allan Duckworth and goalkeeping director Fred Barber, which were announced back in May.

And in a separate development, unrelated to the costcutting measures, commercial director Gareth Moores is no longer working at the Reebok after his sudden departure from the club last week.

A meeting was called by chairman Phil Gartside last week to inform employees of the plan, which identified 17 positions as being “at risk” of redundancy before a period of formal consultation.

Wanderers are looking to cut their cloth accordingly following the end of an 11- year run in the top flight, which carries with it an estimated shortfall of about £30 million.

The club maintains that plans to rationalise were in place regardless of the division they were playing in next season, and that the criteria set down in FIFA's incoming “financial fair play” rule has also required costs to be scaled down.

On the playing front, Owen Coyle has already cut £25 million from his wage budget through the release of 15 out-of-contract players over the summer, and has outlined plans to increase the number of home-grown players used by the club in the future.

The latest staffing cuts come just a month before the start of the new season and include the vastly experienced Harvey, who had been with the club for the last four years.

The Everton legend was recruited by Gary Megson in 2008 as part of a massive overhaul of the backroom staff in the aftermath of Sam Allardyce’s departure.

It is also understood that the club have appointed a new chief operating officer, Bradley Cooper, who formerly occupied a senior post at Deutsche Bahn UK.

Cooper will go in at a similar managerial level as Duckworth, who recently ended his 14-year association with the club.

Christian Spence, the research manager at Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, said: “It is never a happy occasion when any business implements redundancies in its workforce.

“Businessmen do not go into business to take people out of their employment , but the ability to flexibly alter the number of your employees is vital if companies are able to restructure themselves to ensure their long-term survival.”

Something I can't quite get my head around.

If he's cut 25 mill from pruning 15 players, and half of those were kids, then some of the others must a been on about 50k per week. Numbers don't quite stack up for me.

I doubt the numbers do stack up, Worthy. Just journo's pulling figures from mid air. I'd believe Jussi & NRC were in that area, Robbo maybe £20k a week (I know !?!). If you took the wage cuts from last year into account also then we may be getting up there.

A few who were out of contract but have stayed, like Petrov, KD & Knight have maybe taken cuts as well, but I can't make it add to £25m from this summers pruning.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Wasn't klasnic on quite a big money contract?

would really love for us to make a loan move for this guy. Goal scoring record at Feyenoord says enough and 3 Strikers doesnt feel like quite enough unless we bring some of our own youngsters into the fray

Guidetti is awesome. He's already good enough for the Premier League though, so I doubt we'd be able to attract him.
