Because we couldn’t get anyone we wanted? And because ALF didn’t want to stay.

When you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. That's the market we've been in for the last few years. And I'm not sure it's the coaches fault that they can't polish a turd, most people would struggle.

I’ve watched it again and still think he shinned it. Wait til the last angle of the goal on this..

That Villa goal was a bit lucky wasn't it? He shinned it rather than putting his laces through it - if he'd hit it properly, he wouldn't have scored. Yeboah's goals were class but for a proper skillful volley, you can't beat Di Canio's scissor kick vs Wimbledon.

Keeper signed.. https://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/2018/august/bolton-wanderers-sign-remi-matthews-on-loan/

Klopp seems to rate him very highly so you might be right... https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/nathan-phillips-liverpool-jurgen-klopp-14989216

Someone's lying then. Sky says the meeting was taking place in the evening but KA stating that meeting took place in the afternoon. I know who I believe.

Wasn’t expecting that. Brave move by Parky http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/wanderers/16274028.Parkinson_swings_the_axe_on_three_senior_stars_at_Wanderers/

And that is why I fucking love Bolton Wanderers! I’d have taken 21st place at the start of the season. COYFWM!!

Clough is Vela’s catnip. Josh was a different player when he came on, buzzing around all over the place. We must start with Ameobi up top and Clough and Vela behind him against Fulham. Brilliant result last night.

Am I imagining it or did we not play most of the first half of last season with Vela, Clough and Ameobi up top and we played some great football. It was doom and gloom when Clough left, but PP changed our formation to accommodate Madine up top as a lone striker and it didn’t work quite as well but got us up. Can’t remember who it was but we smashed someone 4 0 at home (live on Sky) and played some cracking football. Not sure why people are getting so worked up about Madine going, for once we’ve come out of a deal on top and I’m sure PP will work his magic again...

That is a strange appointment - preparing for Championship life?

I'm guessing Turner won't be going to United, they've just signed an 18yo keeper from Leeds.

How many division 1 or championship clubs use Deloitte? For all we know, KA has manoeuvred us out of a costly contract for a more affordable one within our budget. But until there's hard evidence, its all just speculation and whispers.

Wheater bya country mile for me. Committing to the club on reduced wages pre-season and then putting in solid consistent performances in for the whole season. He's not only showed what a player he is, he's also showed that footballers aren't all about the money. Just hope his head doesn't get turned if boro are relegated and come calling for him. Get him signed up ASAP please Ken!

Watched it last night, absolute garbage. Had the potential to be a great film but was, in my opinion, very cheesy and tried too hard to be spectacular.

Fook off Blades! How many last minute winners have they scored this season.

Lennon saying his bit about corruption. Doesn't mention his time at Bolton, am I reading too much in to that? http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37522482

Hmm brilliant. Will he be a Jack Wilshire or will he be a Ryu Miyaichi/Wellington Silva?

Can we sing Big Sam's Superwhite Army again?

I stupidly got excited when the chairman talked about the quality of applications the other day. I was expecting Moyes, Pearson, Curbishley etc. Can't say I'm overly excited about Wilder - I thought we were learning from previous mistakes and not appointing managers based on one good season with another club (Freedman, Coyle) etc. But if that's who is appointed, he will get my full support.

I would like Burnley's striker scout - they've sold on some good ones at a good profit over the years. Compare our transfer policy to theirs and it's no surprise they are in the black. With Blackburn, they are in a far worse position than we ever were. Their debt is to a bunch of Indians, ours to a fan that had always said it would be written off. When the venkys walk away, they will want their money back. I work in blackburn and the majority of rovers fans didn't want us to get relegated, never mind go bankrupt. They see the value of playing local teams and respect the tradition of football in the north west. Whilst I want to beat them every time we play, I wouldn't want to see them go bust. Same with Preston, burnley or Blackpool. Wigan on the other hand...

Nigel Pearson please Deano.

Nice touch by the Preston fans if that's what they are planning to do. Can't think of many of our local rivals that would consider doing something similar. Fair play to them. And let them have their moment in the sun, they are still sore about when we beat them to the premiership and when SJM relegated them in 93 (?).

The aussie one is a billionaire. Don't need to know any more..
