The ianevattable sacking

But he loves Jesus and that innit so he must be alright…

And Amy….

Should have walked in the summer. Fans need to force the issue now.

Or maybe Sharon could actually run the club. You know. Show some leadership. I know that’s a rare trait but it’s beyond ridiculous.

[Prufrock]

Hopefully he's down the job centre Monday with his pal Rob.

I wont hold my breath on that. The latest excuse is half the players were ill this week. Can't wait for the next one.

[nicholaldo]

He won't be sacked.

[BWFC_Insane]

He won't be sacked.

Yeah. They’ve got all the money off us poor saps. And either Sharon et al have no leadership skills whatsoever or aren’t interested beyond playing at it. Don’t know which.

More interested in Evatt than Bolton Wanderers which is what makes me angry. Only Allardyce truly elevated himself to a point where a conversation was even possible that maybe the manager was reaching the size of the club. Evatt is a nobody in our history.

I do remember when we nearly didn't have a Club. Somewhat different than Sam, bankrolled by Eddie.I think Evatt has done this job, fine. I don't think he's the fella for the next step.

I won’t be doing cartwheels when/if he goes and think overall he’s done a good job to get us a to a level when we can expect more than we’re getting.

But the time has come. Get him out whilst their are viable options available and we still have enough time to salvage the season

[TANGODANCER]

WE NEED CHANGE.....What we are doing is wrong for this league. We are being beaten by mediocre teams who who know we won't fight in favour of a tippy-tappy passing game that we can't even cope with. Unless we change it, and like now, we're just another brick in the wall. Do we really think fans will turn up in numbers to see this level of entertainment? Last night a Stockport front man waltzed through five White shirts like they weren't there. We need to stop thinking we're special, we ain't.

I've supported Evatt all long, but Stockport 5, Bolton 0 just isn't acceptable. Right now I'd even give John McGinlay a go at getting us to fight back. He's more a Wanderer than most of the team.

I haven’t seen a single post or tweet or whatever from a Bolton fan in support of him. I think if you ran a poll and managed to stop other teams fans voting it would be 100% out. It’s as bad as Megson if not worse this.

Yeah, this. As I've said on the match thread, giving up on Evatt doesn't mean giving up on promotion this season - quite the opposite. Still time yet, under the right leadership.

I do know some - very longterm, very committed, very regular matchgoers, not bonkers - who are still just about 'back' rather than 'sack'. But I completely understand why they're thinking rather than broadcasting it. As election pollsters regularly discover, sometimes you just keep quiet.

At this juncture (and folks are entitled to their own views,) I struggle to understand anyone still thinking this is worth keeping him. We're nearer to leaking 2 goals a game than we are to 2 points a game. You start to think they don't understand defending is a big chunk of the game or he's their Dad or something...

I suspect they may fear change, which is always a risk (but to me is now worth taking). They may also figure we could (could) sneak into the playoffs and up. I should say they are very far from cock-a-hoop and they have their own feelings on where things have gone wrong.

For instance... even on this X poll, around 10% of 600 respondents are still Evatt In. (Unless it was Ian spending a long lonely night.)

[Worthy4England]

Squad of 24 + B team + backroom? That about 60?

[Worthy4England]

Ohhh Swiss consortium members!

There were thousands of fans in truth who might not have been ‘Megson in’ but certainly weren’t desperate for him to be sacked. Always will be. I know some of them. They are never supportive of a manager being sacked. It’s perfectly reasonable a position to take regardless. I can get it. I wouldn’t agree. I’m pretty rare in wanting a manager out really fervently. Coyle, Evatt are probably my two exceptions. Doesn’t mean there aren’t ones I’ve not been keen on or unhappy if they went but it’s different to being ‘they make me angry and they’ve got to go’. I can only really think of the two. Both similar in that they threw away precious resources for their own vanity.

Yep - as I say some folk are risk-averse. But inaction is also an action, and to me right now seems far riskier.

Maybe less about risk averse and more that they don’t really care who the manager is, or are happy enough regardless.

Possibly - takes all sorts - but that would be a curious worldview, to absolve the manager from involvement. But as I say, folks have the right to think whatever
