Tipster Ste

Didnt the board know in Jan 2007 that the next years TV money was going up. Allardyce was frozen out of this club, the board presumed anyone (Sammy Lee) could do what Big Sam had done for a decade.

Spot on then the same board went and gave 30+m to Lee/Megson over the next 30 months then the next 24 months after that most of those players bought for 30+m were allowed to leave for free. You'd left your balls off if it wasn't our club!! Wonder were we'd be if Big Sam had been given that ?30m????

Fully agree about Holden, but are Reo-Coker and Pratley better?? Didn't he know our left back is knackered in the summer?? His transfer policy has been a joke

4-1 Real Madrid

Coyle is so blinkered on picking the players he brought to the club. Questions to ask:- As he brought a better half back to the club than Steinnson As he brought a better centre midfielder than Mumaba We all apart from the manager know the answer to the above!! Team selection and his summer signings are a complete shambles. We are in a worst state than when Sammy Lee departed and it's 2 months later. Look at everyone else's results, Sunderland, Villa only away wins at the Reebok!

My Dad lost his battle against this awful illness and committed suicide in June 2009. When read people's stories such as on here and Stans own personal insight it's so much like my Dads story. Dad had everything a good family around him but was also a deep thinker and cared for everyone. Maybe if he had been less caring he'd be here today. Miss my Dad so much and certainly miss taking him to the Reebok!

Very sad news, I'm sure he was on football focus yesterday dinner time? RIP Gary Speed A Bolton great who gave nothing but 100% in one of our greatest periods

Stoke City will be in the mix, delighted Crouch was on today instead of Jones

What's the net spend over the last 4 years?? We've lost over 80m in that time and due to appalling handling of contracts the plan to make money on the initial outlay of 4 years ago is now up the creak without paddle.

Now why would PG seek outside investment?? If anyone came in PG would quickly lose his power and more importantly 500k a year!!

The fact we paid 20m for Taylor, Cahill, Elmander & Steinnson and will probably bring back 7m if we are lucky. Overall outlay is probably 35-40m on those 4, any wonder we are 110m in debt!

Makes the transfer strategy even more bizarre over the last 18 months. We splashed decent money under the ginger one but most of them are about to bugger off for naff all. Great work Phil/Owen

That's exactly why we are in the bottom 3, you've named 4 left backs above :- Alonso - totally unproven Robinson - should never have played again after last season Ricketts - is a right back and was out injured until Oct Gardner - Coyle only resigned him in August 2 of the above should have been cut and a proven left back brought in

If Pratley/Reo continue their blossoming partnership = Bolton 1-4 Stoke. M Davies/Muamba = Bolton 3-1 Stoke

Quite simply because one of those businesses can't afford to pay the APR any more, 2 options left for Eddie keep tipping more money down the black hole or cut your losses. Not saying it will happen but it's possible. In the current economic climate I expect a pro club to go to the wall in the next 3 years, dropping out of the top flight is simply not an option for us!

Fair points but did we not realise we needed a left back? Cahill should have been sold and the fee reinvested! As for Reo-Coker I think he's been a massive let down!

Why can't the manager see these two provide no protection at all to the back 4??? Reo Coker appears to be nackered after 30 mins. Muamba won't win any awards for passing any time soon but he adds steal. Probably our best 2 performances of the season have come at Villa/Arsenal in cup yet after both games we have seen wholesale changes. What exactly have Tuncay and in particular Fabrice done wrong this season. Wake up and smell the coffee or please leave. Relegation could signal the end for this great club in our current financial plight!!

time to flush out the moronic element :- http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/local-buckinghamshire-advertiser-news/2011/04/20/bolton-wanderers-and-stoke-city-fans-clash-82398-28552969/

Ive never been so ashamed to be associated with some in the white of Bolton yesterday. I too was in Block 133, and mid way through the 2nd half we had to put up with a half wit telling me and my family we werent a real fan because we werent up singing and dancing. A few choice words and he soon shut up with his insane rants in my face at least. The man was an embarrasment to the town, club and the players. Id rather sit with just 10K next time who are not off their heads asking their mates who's got the ball because they never come to the Reebok.

Did you not go to the cup quarter final?? Absolute legend is Super Kev.

Arrived this morning, magic!!

Cheers thats usually the case when Ive ordered previous away tickets but wondered if they where being held back will be on the phone first thing in the morning. 4 tickets and 4 coach tickets missing!! P.S - I predict a Bolton cup win and a top 10 finish

Ordered mine last Tuesday but still not arrived, anyone else received their cup ticket yet?
