Crawford signing a good start One our Keith plucked from nowhere, onions anybody?

A Tandem

Inflation in the U.K. was 17% in 1979, it was the same throughout the West, Governments used interest rates to try and get it under control I'm familiar with the Company’s you mention, they were all caught out by needing to modernise their machinery but needed to do it at the worst possible time to borrow money with interest rates sky high, we had a mortgage at the time and got shafted but we had no choice. Sadly the firms fell by the wayside and the work went elsewhere but again to try and blame MT is incorrect imo

I worked in engineering all through the 70’s and80’s, CNC & CAD meant one machine could do the job of several other skilled men turners, millers ect. Where I worked they trained women up to work them machines and paid them less than skilled blokes. How could MT herself initiate ‘mass redundancies & factory closures’?, that’s just progress, like I said your talking bollocks

Bollocks, engineering, not just in Bolton but all over the country was de-skilled when CNC machines and the like came in, it was just normal industrial progression, are you blaming her for scarcity of chimney sweeps as well?

Might be time to cancel your ‘Socialist Worker’ subscription.

See ‘NUT’, they’re still flying the flag

You’re right, Gormley achieved far more than that twat Scargill, all though he was pushing against an open door with Wilson, Callaghan and Heath. The power of union leaders was not good for the rest of society, someone had to put a stop to it and MT sorted it

Each to their own

Some of the best entertaining football since BSA, when tits up from Stoke but it’s all opinions.

It’s not a case of being behind FV, I’m behind BWFC have been since the 60’s. FV are just the current custodians if I think they are going about it the wrong way I will say so, I’ve no ‘axe to grind ‘ whatever that means

Well don’t fucking read it then, you moaning cunt. Last time I looked this is a football forum it’s made up people opinions, not just yours

Nail on head The number of football club owners who have been groomed and bled dry by ‘in the know, football people’ advising them what to do next are too numerous to mention. FV are culpable in all this, when they came in they said they had a long term plan but in less than 12 months they’ve ditched it and gone for a ‘continental’ style set up because of the influence of Tobias and Kenyon. We’re in Division 4 with no manager and no players and no money some fans need to wake up and think where this might end Since BSA left we’ve never managed to get our first choice in anything players/management etc, we always have to have second best, I suspect the same will apply now.

What, in a romantic way?

Feel like I’m pushing a piece of string. Ok, you’re all correct, after all that has happened this season no manager could have saved us from relegation. Realistically we were down before KH came, in a few days he brought in a load of outcasts/unwanted/unknown players who weren’t match fit and most of us had never heard off. At Rotherham you could see the promise in some of the players and we started well, you could feel the optimism in the crowd but as the game went on the big problem that would surface in every game and eventually kill us was evident, fitness and organisation, things that within the time scale we had could not be rectified this season. Leading up to the Accy game things were settling down, we were looking ok, we’d won three in a row and we were getting a bit giddy, KH was under a lot of pressure to win this game, I didn’t go but the sending off and the collapse obviously was a massive slap for fans and management. Tempers boiled over and things were said and your right that left KH out on a limb but FV are not blameless in this situation. If the owners had been more experienced they would have circled the wagons and tried to keep the problems in house and steady the ship When FV involved Kenyon they undermined Hill and Flitcrofts power and they obviously knew they had no future here. Kenyon had convinced FV to move in a different direction and KH was thrown under the bus, since lockdown we’ve heard nothing, no leadership, just little digs in the Bolton News from the poisoned dwarf, Iles, who’s influence is greater than it should be. You can slag KH off for his rants, his dress sense or anything else but if he was on the current list of managers and coming in for the first time at this level he would be a favourite for the job. He’s not my dad or my son but I don’t agree with the disrespect and shit on here about someone who did his best under the circumstances, at another time he could have been a very good appointment

Sorry I’m late with a reply but I’m hoping your mum lets you stay up late on a Friday, If you can’t say something sensible it’s best you don’t say anything at all

Our Keith would have walked this league

Exactly, they would have been ours now, good experienced pro’s at this level KH would be building a good squad by now, instead ‘Tobias’ (who he?) is fannying around looking for a ‘young Coach’, could be a while before we start stocking up

I agree but who do you think signed him then.

Who asked you KH,

Why you say that?

Auntie Sharon and FV are clueless let’s be reet, Keith Hill and Flitcroft would have already got a short list of available players who can “ run through walls and have League experience” We would have walked this league with Hillcroft, talk about throwing the baby out with bath water, all they needed to do was to warn him to keep his mouth shut Gone backwards

I know someone like that, Keith Hill
