I’m not sure that’s controversial.
We might as well make everything controversial.

Most people are crap with money and when you combine money with passion you have to very careful (that sounds like a hookers and STDs joke, but...well, actually, it can be).Worthy4England wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 1:57 pmAfter stating very clearly and giving them some written verbage to confirm you're not a financial advisor, you should probably take their spends off them...

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window
Well - to be fair to him & the club - if you read the article the funds will be spent on medical, sports science & psychology departments / Lostock training facility improvements / stadium connectivity / hospitality facilities / fan zone / concourses / new big screen / new advertising AND players.GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 6:52 amProbably worth noting that Hart has whipped off the fig leaf and is now just saying The Bond is primarily being spent on players. Infrastructure spending is "secondary."
So we've crowdfunded a transfer budget and (from my experience talking to people) mislead a lot of people about what they were buying into.
Admittedly he puts players first in his list - and he is very clear that we are looking to invest in that department, but its hardly just a transfer budget thats being created.....

Were we to sign Crichlow (I've no idea if it's a genuine thing or not) that would probably indicate Iredale and Williams is "the plan" for the left - unless we anticipate Johnston is offski.

Of course you have to be very careful which is why there were plenty of alerts along the launch and within the offer saying "Consider this cash thrown away, but you could make a few quid from it"...GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 2:02 pmMost people are crap with money and when you combine money with passion you have to very careful (that sounds like a hookers and STDs joke, but...well, actually, it can be).Worthy4England wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 1:57 pmAfter stating very clearly and giving them some written verbage to confirm you're not a financial advisor, you should probably take their spends off them...
Someone would have really struggled on the first question, "what type of investor are you" disclaimer to actually get past the thing - the whole sign-up process required a fair chunk of lifting.
I'm unsure whether the people you've spoken to are upset because they've made an investment or because it's not all going to build an academy and sports science department?
Depending when they made it, they can still withdraw if they've not run out of the cooling off period....

Egad!
Honestly, at this point I'd speculate on an octopus pulling transfer links out of a hat.

Captain Sonny Bradley, Henri Lansbury and Harry Isted will all leave the Hatters following the expiration of their contracts.
We have exercised the option for a further year for Gabe Osho, Dan Potts and Elliot Thorpe. Negotiations are ongoing with Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu, Tom Lockyer, Amari’i Bell and Luke Berry with a view to extending their time at Kenilworth Road.
Ethan Horvath, Cody Drameh and Marvelous Nakamba will return to their parent clubs following the end of their loan spells, we would like to thank them for their fantastic contributions to this historic season.
Matt Macey, Glen Rea, Dion Pereira, Carlos Mendes Gomes and John McAtee will return to the club following the expiration of their loan spells away from Kenilworth Road.
From the Development squad, we have made offers to extend the contracts of Aidan Francis-Clarke and Axel Piesold. Leaving the Club at the end of their deals are Daniel Idiakhoa, Avan Jones, Conor Lawless, Josh Neufville, Callum Nicolson, Casey Pettit and Josh Williams.
First-year scholars moving into their second year are Tyrell Giwa, William Houghton, Claude Kayibanda, Jack Lorentzen-Jones, Max Scott and Marcus Warren. Negotiations are ongoing with Jack Bateson, Jake Burger, Archie Heron, Oli Lynch, Millar Matthews-Lewis and Josh Odell-Bature who have each been offered a professional contract to remain at Kenilworth Road. Leaving the Club at the end of their scholarships are Sam Bentley, Oliver Hemlin, Rio Martucci, Darcy Moffat and Josh Swan.

Could we convince Isted to sign for us ahead of Barnsley, do we think?

Possibly. We have advantages over Barnsley if all the financials are equal.nicholaldo wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 6:28 pmCould we convince Isted to sign for us ahead of Barnsley, do we think?
There's always the Rob Edwards factor too.
You'd expect Barnsley to lead the pack for him, though. They seem keen.
Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window
I'd be tempted to get a look in at Danny Ward as covering striker and Will Jaaskelainen for backup keeper.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 3:53 pmAfter looking through the BN's "23 former Bolton players released by their clubs." I've not seen any I'd want back.
Aside from that there's not many that jump out. Bridcutt perhaps, Madine perhaps, but neither of those would be massively improving our side for the future.

I think those are the types of signings we'd have gone for when we were trying stay up in the first season in this division. I don't think we'd go for them now, Ward aside maybe.Mar wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 7:43 pmI'd be tempted to get a look in at Danny Ward as covering striker and Will Jaaskelainen for backup keeper.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 3:53 pmAfter looking through the BN's "23 former Bolton players released by their clubs."

I saw Jaas playing for Woking (v Bromley) in the play offs last month. Bog standard National League goalie.

At 32, Ward isn't the kid who left. I'd be surprised if he was on our hit list, given we have Bod and Jerome...GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 8:16 pmI think those are the types of signings we'd have gone for when we were trying stay up in the first season in this division.
