Does that make it untrue ?

Re: Freedman out!
Freedman (like Coyle and Thickson before him) speaks a lot about his plans for the future. How he's building something for the long term and how it'll all be jam tomorrow.
He knows full well that there won't be a 'long term' because if we don't finish well this season and then have to reboot to our factory settings for next year while he figures out which way is forward then he'll be gone before Christmas next year.
He can then turn to his next employer and say 'If only Bolton would have stuck with me they'd be in the Champions League by now....' or some other cobblers that Chairman seem to like.
I'll rephrase that - it's not like we rebooted, nothing quite so technical it's like Dougie's mind is like an Etch-o-Sketch and he gave his head a good shake after the Blackpool game and forgot everything about last season.
His poor decisions early on have now made every single game a must win which is ridiculous. Last gaps equalisers against Yeovil for eff's sake - what has the world come to?
If we do win every game from now until the end of the season we will go up. If we don't then what?
Jesus what if we did go up?
I wasn't in favour of getting rid of Coyle - not that I thought he'd turn out right - we all knew that was a one-way ticket to Palookaville and, in principle I know that firing Dougie will only continue the slide.
It's a prime example of the law of diminishing returns.
After Dougie comes Warnock. Or Dave Jones. Or someother chancer with a 'long term plan'.

I'm not asking you to 'think outside the box' I just wish you'd have a rummage around in it once in a while.

Re: Freedman out!
Didn't Jesus once say that the 'ramblings of a madman are like the horn of reason'?
If he didn't then it's the sort of thing he would have said given the chance.
No, it's just I think with Phil G at the helm we're lurching from one mediocre to another. Our targets are being set lower and lower each year and we're still failing to achieve them.
Remember when a return to the Premier League was 'crucial' now we're looking at 6th place and wondering if we can make it.
On the 'not sacking Coyle front' I should say that the only reason I thought that way was because I didn't expect anyone better to come in.
The style of play isn't any better, the results aren't any better and the players aren't any better. For Dougie to convince us that the 'long term' will yield any results shouldn't we see at least a litte short term improvement?
We'll see on Sunday how we do against a 'new, up and coming manager with a great potential'.

Re: Freedman out!
Might be worth keeping in mind, Coffee, that there are what? twenty four other teams in our league all with the same idea, same problems and same aims. Every manager in the league has the same plans in mind and only three of them ( the one's lucky enough to get promoted)will be called successful. The rest just do their best to stay in a job. I just want to see Dougie put a squad together that give it their all for Bolton. The rest matter not, but they're all out there trying just like us.coffeymagic wrote: The style of play isn't any better, the results aren't any better and the players aren't any better.

Re: Freedman out!
It wasn't a touchy response at all, believe me. I think everybody knows we haven't totally got what we want right now, we're too inconsistent. I've no reason to think what I want is any different to what you would want also as a fan.thebish wrote:(I don't understand the need for such a touchy response!)

Don't be so stupid. Of course, there will be no glimpses of improvement, that would give the game away. Keep up.coffeymagic wrote:

And you'll do well to remember all the good work going on behind the scenes, man. The changing room doesn't smell of sweaty bodies any more, nobody puts their feet on the seats of the team bus, and now everyone returns their bib after training. Massive steps, unseen by those who don't know football.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

i'm not sure i want the same as you... I don't think I just want a squad that "gives it all" - I want a bit of quality and skill and some kind of joined-up thinking that makes it likely we will win games at this level. I think we have the quality - but I'm not yet convinced about the joined-up thinking - or if the whole team gets it...
"giving their all" isn't summat that I find it easy to measure or judge - so it wouldn't be the be all and end all for me.
