Up until now, ive left you to Zico Now that youve decided to start with somebody as inoffensive as @RoadRunnerFan its up a level Stop being a cock, or its curtains Wways doesnt need you as much as you need Wways Think on, cos therell be no more softly softly warnings Enjoy your evening

I find a lot of Parky's detractors often know the least about him He wasn't at the start of his managerial career when he joined us as he'd already guided Colchester United from League One relegation candidates to promotion to the Championship, got Bradford City promoted to League One, a League Cup final whil in League Two, and an FA Cup quarter-final He got us promoted at the first attempt while under a transfer embargo and then kept us up the following season as the club began to crumble Wrexham might've had a cash injections but people go on as if three consecutive promotions and a seventh placed finish in the Championship in four years is a piece of piss He's just a very, very good football manager with a track record of success at most of the clubs he's worked for

Hardly the point neither- Sluufy just being Sluffy. As the top man at the club, it was his responsibility to look after staff and ensure they got paid. To suggest he was under no obligation is frankly ridiculous and mind blowing. Particularly when his son is swanning around the club shop, treating the place like his own wardrobe and effectively abusing staff. The bloke had form, and continued it here. Contrast that with Sharon who turned up, bought staff cakes, and spoke to them, made them feel special and looked after them. The club is nothing without good people throughout. Later on, thousands of us gave up the money for our season tickets, and none of us needed to do that neither. We did, because we had trust in FV.

My mate reckons he's seen some lads painting at the ground. Imagine spending money on ground remdieial works when we need to sign players. Tins of paint aren't cheap and that £23.59 for some Dulex Gloss could've gone towards a 20 goal a season striker. It's a fucking disgrace.

My memory of that time was a load of people shouting at the Andersons to fuck off and walk away. Then another group saying if they do that what happens next as they were the only show in town. I was very much in the latter group but can see now that they were a real cancer in the club milking us for as much as they could. The comparison with FV really is night and day. This is how Sharon Brittan described the situation. Anderson and his son were taking money out of the club all the way through.….. ‘When I walked into Bolton Wanderers in 2019, I cannot explain the pitiful situation that I walked into having had a previous owner – I can't even say the club was on its knees, because it was beyond that.14 May 2024’ Let’s not forget in the days leading up to the takeover we were a ticking bomb. Below is the quote from the Administrators. As we were on the edge of disappearing Anderson was doing his best to screw even more money out of the gig. It is due to the Eddie Davies Trust and FV that we even have a club to talk about; ‘Even at the 11th hour when other parties were content to renege on their agreements, the Trust realised the very existence of Bolton Wanderers was at stake and were willing to find a compromise to save the club "It is a testament to their unflinching determination to do what was best for Bolton that we are able to complete the deal today. "The Trust were forced to constantly compromise their position in the face of circumstances and demands which were wholly unreasonable. This says much about their determination not to allow Eddie's beloved Bolton Wanderers to suffer any longer at the hands of Ken Anderson.’ To see a supposed Bolton fan defend Anderson in what can only be a desperate attempt to get attention is really pathetic.

He started seven games after he came back from injury, scored three goals and assisted four. Scored the crucial goal against Bradford in the playoff semi-final and forced the own goal in the final. If that's him being very ordinary imagine him on form.

Thought Richard Taylor looked assured & composed at the back (Would be gutted if an SPL team swooped in for him this summer) Randall looked stronger on the ball & more robust (Would be sad if Evatt decided to put a few hundred K our way for him) McAtee was very classy & dangerous when on the ball. (Hopefully Barnsley don’t try to get him back) 🫰🤥

Good luck to the lad. Brightened up a shit end to a season when the rest of the pansies had thrown the towel in. Showed more fight as a 17 year old in those 15 minutes than the rest of them did in the last 5-10 games.

nope, not seen it

Can someone post a link to the interview where Schumacher said; ‘The players are not good enough We can not afford Kenny There is no money to spend I am not getting the backing I hoped for The recruitment is going badly Thought we would have a full squad by now’ I listened to the full interview on the radio last night and heard none of the above assume there is another interview or he was caught ‘off mike’ as based on comments on here and Facebook we are in a mess and Sharon needs to move on. Thanks

Who cares what Celtic fans think all I know is he was excellent for us and It would be great if he signed for us so fuck em.

Christ almighty. We giving up on players after two friendlies then?

Good luck to the lad and I hope he can recover both form and confidence at his new club. Like Victor who’s also there now I wish them both well at a good and growing Bromley.

no I think you like it, which is why you keep going on about it, at length, and musing over how people may or may react no one else is going to get you banned so no need to keep going on like you do I've been looking after this site for 6 years and not been abused or called anything neither did any of the other mods, or happy You've had it for years across 3 forums and now brought it here have a think about why

ACDs work off the ball is criminally undervalued. He'd drop back and cover when Tutu overlapped and was always there to cover and press off the ball. Complete polar opposite to Gale on the other side hence Conway looking like a fish out of water half the time.

Forss isn’t worth £30k a year; get rid now

Albies 5th birthday today and going to the match with his Dad whilst I’m at work. If you see him please say happy birthday and give him a high 5, he will be buzzing!

I’ve never seen so much criticism for someone lowering energy bills, capping bus fares and reducing business rates in the hospitality sector; at a time when people are complaining about the cost of living and that the price of a pint is through the roof. If he reduced income tax by a penny or reversed the national insurance increase some people would probably throw themselves off a bridge. It’s embarrassing some of the anti-Burnham / anti-Labour entrenchment. Give the guy a chance. If he fucks it up, then you know exactly where not to put your cross at the next General Election.

Just a few miles from Clacton is a place called Weeley I can't think of a better place for Count Binface to launch his campaign from

They're rowing home, they're rowing home, they're rowing, Norway's rowing home.

Tony Philiskirk must be a contender for best with three first names.

Genuinely gents, this forum has become a really really rubbish place to visit this summer.

I never thought i'd see the day when a Bolton fan stands up for Ken Anderson. The guys morally bankrupt Must be a secret wigan fan?

Granted, it’s a strange “first game of the season” And I get it’s not as important as next Saturday. But surely we are not at the stage of dismissing the league cup as a glorified friendly? It would be great to have some sort of cup run alongside the main show of the Championship. I’m looking forward to it. Beers in Sheffield, a chance to see us play some proper competitive football since our famous Wembley win, an opportunity for our squad to step up and hopefully seeing us progress into the next round. Bring on the Sheffield sun! This is what Saturday afternoons are all about. 👏

he was in it for himself from the off paying himself 600k plus from a club losing millions for example he took the club to the brink of extinction all whilst trying get as much as he could out of it for himself he knew exactly what he was doing when he got involved he'd been there and done it before and had an eight year ban as a company director to show for it he was bent as fuck and gave the club and fans it's darkest days he got all the shit he deserved yet you go on like he did a solid job keeping us a float and finding us new owners and suggesting he had no other choice and anyone savvy in business would have done the same

A little harsh. He was on a hiding to nothing and the team he had was shite

Thanks Scooby!

Enjoyed that. Took my littlun to their first game and they enjoyed it. Bug well and truly back. Roll on Sheff wed

It’s insane. US democracy is dead for the time being if this is allowed to happen in full view. Add to this all his efforts to stop free and fair mid-term elections later this year (aka the “Save America act”……which is irony personified). Also just read this about more environmental vandalism, reducing protection on endangered species. OceanographicManatees among species at risk as Trump strips ESA protec...Florida's manatees could be left more vulnerable after the Trump administration scrapped the Endangered Species Act's "blanket rule."Hopefully he drops dead soon ….. but the sad thing is as a malignant narcissist surrounded by nodding dog sycophants he won’t realise how awful his legacy will be, and how history will condemn everything he has done.

I thought we'd done well, July had nearly been a Sam Nombe-free month 🙄

The number of so called patriots who want the PM of the country to fail is outstanding.

Exactly this. Honestly never seen a manager lose his fucking mind on the biggest of stages like that tonight. It's one thing letting the game pass you by and not reacting. But it's completely different thing committing actual fucking suicide and formulating a plan to let the best player that's ever touched a football just roam free as a bird on the right hand side. You created the space and let him do it. No outlet. No hold up. Just backs to the wall for 24 fucking Minutes like a League 2 team one nil up away at Arsenal or summet. Unbelievable. So so fucking bad. Let our country down.

dunno why the contention between loans or permanent signings we've had some very good loan signings in L1, and some duffers we've had some good signings who we've made a profit on, like GT, charles, dapo and broke even on Collins and we've made made some bad uns, we won't make money back on the likes of mcatee, randall and schon last season and this we've had freebies and under 1m signing on longer deals it's a proper mixed bag not sure how you can determine the best way to go some signings work out, some don't

Its just... a really, really good piss up, Sheffield. Genuinely top class.

No problem. Here's a leaflet with some details about Private Health Care alternatives. Off you pop.

I am long enough a BWFC supporter now to know there are going to be decent spells of next season when we are jjust going to have to wear disappointment. Its all about having the right mindset from the off. The aim is 50 points and fourth bottom or betterr. It is definitely the case that we need significant further strengthening to equip us for that battle. But week by week between August and May we need to individually manage the lows and turn up on Saturday and Tuesday and get right behind the team. Anything other just further reduces our collective changes of getting a foothold in this league. If we survive that first season back I do think as a club and support base we have other gears to go up. We have proved that so often before. But first we have the 2026/7 season to battle our way through.

Normal human beings who haven't been brainwashed by Nigel Farage and GBNews.

And as always the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Football fans do love an extreme. FWIW, I like him and hope we get him. But all this building him up to be the next Andy Walker (more elsewhere than on here) and some kind of saviour is setting him up for a massive fail. He’ll have less space, less chances up against better defenders and score less goals. Then we’ll have to deal with “Kenny’s not as good as he was last season and he’s failed to live up to his potential”

Why do you think it is aimed at you ? If the cap fits wear it Why do you follow me round on the internet ? Are you totally obsessed with? What does ‘o really’ mean ? Can you not type properly ? You must be real spaz ? Your real name is nt Darren is it ? I used to work with people and they certainly would think you smell I was on that anal fisting site the other day and noticed you had been making disparaging comments about me on there ? Are you a stalker ? You say you do not care about what I think of you ? Well that is lucky because I DO NOT think about you ? Ha how stupid do you look now ? I have every right to chose if I am going to fuck off. The problem with weirdos like you is that you take the internet too seriously and end up trying to be clever but I treat all as a joke and a bit of banter. You should try it. Hope you are not going through some real issues in your real life because that might explain your melt down on here, you melt. Along with your fanboy @Krimzon can you not fight your own battles ?

Randall does not have it in him. Unless he grows a pair of bollocks he'll never do fuck all for us or anyone else.

People ask why I cant be arsed Are we down yet?

Anyone getting maudlin over this game needs more beer.

It's a kick about FFS. DAC are on their 6th game

Honestly, a lot of times when we go out in the latter stages, we've played well and just not had the bounce or whatever. But this was just craven and unnecessary. Semi final of the World Cup, go out on your shield man, ffs

I actually think the injury he suffered might've been a blessing in disguise After a very bright start, his influence on matches was beginning to wane, which is not uncommon among young players still learning their trade, and it gave him a bit of a break to then come back reinvigorated later in the season

She was certainly a politician of conviction and never left anyone in any doubt over where she stood, and for that alone I respected her Far more preferable than a lot of the career-oriented weasels we see in politics these days A classic British eccentric too Her murder is an awful thing
