    I've started with a pain in my stomach/gut and just a overall feeling of dread. This is fun. The panicking feeling I have about caring and providing for two children is overwhelming today. I'm not arsed about me. Please tell me it will go away? 

    One thing I’ve learned on here, despite the arguments, disputes, occasional straightener, you’ll have folk to rally around you, whether you need It on the forum, PM, or in person

    Best thing to do is speak out anytime you feel this way.

    Just remember that. Things always get better.

    I'm told, by a notoriously unreliable, knee-jerk, guy .... Duck Egg knows him well ... that we're about to sign a centre-back from Barrow.

    Obviously, I've never heard of Matt Platt but he has an alluringly alliterative name.

    24, 6' and played 80 games for Barrow in the past 2½ years. So solid enough but, presumably, a squad player. Nowt wrong with that I guess.

    Does your source work for the Bolton News?

  3. Was talking to my folks about shite they would say or do to make us behave growing up

    “If you don’t pack it in, I’ll call the cruelty man”

    No idea who or what this geezer would do but there was no way I was finding out,  I reckon a pulp fiction basement scene.

    Threatened with Borstal on a weekly basis despite not knowing what it was.

    Its obviously all above board, but it does make me wonder how we'd feel if the boot was on the other foot.  Iredale was reportedly lined up by us weeks ago (if we believe rumours) and last year I'm sure Sheehan said he knew he was coming to Bolton weeks before the season ended.  We might have played Newport in the play offs, and who knows how motivated he was against Morecambe at Wembley.  I don't care, just wondering how we'd feel next April if we heard Santos was chatting with Sheff Wed and we were both in the top 6.

    It happens and can’t and won’t be stopped. If an agent has a player at BWFC and that same agent has a player at another club it’s so easy to ‘tap up’

    Salaries and bonuses get leaked, numbers get exchanged between two players, nothing is technically illegal.

    It’s 6 months if the clubs are in separate countries. One month if in the same country I believe?

    Ahh sorry yeah.
     

    But I think that’s to stop a conflict of interest for that player for his new club, so I assume his contract ran up to June or there’s an exemption with our season ending. I think it’ll be the latter.

     

    He’s signed so who cares 😂

    This Sheff Weds v Sunderland game is dreadful so far but I wouldn’t say no to Patrick Roberts.. 

    no idea where he’d fit in like 🤣 feels good to be blessed with so many options 

    Done more loans than wonga that lad.

    Sounds really switched on, bright and mature. Had a bit of life experience living in difference places. 

    Nice to have some intelligent young players on our books who are ambitious.

     

    Evatt said of him:

    “Jack is a player we’ve been keen on for a while and a proven performer at League One level, who we believe can also operate higher."

    I know there's a clamour for us to get some recruits who have Championship experience, if that's where we want to go to, but we need to be shrewd in our recruitment, and signing players who haven't played at that higher level but have the potential to make the step up keeps the costs down and makes for an exciting time watching them develop and push on.

    I didn't think Gethin would be able to handle the step up from L2 last year but he's done so with flying colours.

    Yeah it’s about being a bit clever. Trying to get championship players could potentially be paying championship wages to play in L1.
