Their chairman's comments on BBC just now are interesting, part of it makes you think yeah no doubt Evatt is off here then the compo gets brought up and itll all need paying up front no installments and it might be enough to see us off.

If we can’t pay barrow off then shut up shop

Correct. If we haven’t got £120k to find a new manager then we’re well & truly fucked!

For FV , whether they have it as immediate cash or not it will be an interesting barometer to see if they are prepared to find it.

It equates to less than 500 season ticket sales , and being unable to buy players because of the transfer embargo and to be potentially facing a wages cap there are not a lot of areas into which they can make such an Investment on the footballing side.

It is their first opportunity to show the fans and the football world that they mean business 

The appointment of Evatt, who for me is the stand out candidate on the list, could well act as a catalyst to turn the mood around amongst supporters and give us at least a short term reason for optimism 

Not appointing him will have to be justified for good reason - other than money

Shows though, doesnt it

A random fan says hes a shitcunt but chris wilder gives him a job

I think a lot of the comments (certainly mine, at least) were regarding his poor record in the transfer market and his inability to build a team around his own signings, neither of which will be an issue as an U23s manager.

Nah, I stand by it, to be fair.

My opinion of his demeanour and his style of football wouldn't change even if he ended up being the next one in at Real Madrid. He played how he played and he was how he was in the period I was watching his team.

He may have decided to be more upbeat in public, he may have considered playing in a more attractive way. Good for him if he has. It'll mean he has a better future, and others can then judge him on that.

So it didn't have you playing decent football ? Or was that a myth ?

For a time we did play decent football, and that coincided with the time we had decent footballers.

There was a future Premier League player and several upper/middle Championship players in that League One team of 2016. It got a run of wins under its belt just before Johnson left, and Heckingbottom did really well in making sure that standards did not slip.

So, yeah, it's fair to say that when he had good players, the team played good football (including after promotion) and when he didn't, it didn't. 

I understand the whining and the frustration from him, because there were - by our standards - some bloody good players who were sold. As a fan, though, I didn't want to hear it alllllllllllllll the timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

When he left for Leeds, I didn't know how good a manager he was, precisely because of my third paragraph. His win-percentages there and at Hibs suggest that he - like my club - never recovered from that fire-sale.

It may all be irrelevant to Bolton fans now, anyway, if he goes to them horrible rape-threatening, elbowing thundercunts down the road. (Leeds, followed by that lot! Talk about burning your fucking bridges!) If that's the case, I'll disappear until you're linked with someone else we've had, and then I'll give you my thoughts for better or for worse.

Good luck!
