Evatt to Stay or Go? (Poll)

Who’s angry? I just can’t believe that you can’t see the problem with the silence and by the way both Doncaster’s and Barnsleys seasons were also extended by the play offs plus Leeds also lost at Wembley after us but have acted. I know you don’t like to be wrong but sometimes you just have to hold your hands up.

 

Without going all Redcliffe

What I'm saying, and as much as I don't like to reference Man Utd, is that there is perceived speculation about both managers

They and us are have successful business owners who are dealing with it in their own way 

Maybe their fans are getting restless but youll have to ask your mate wanderlust about that 

I don't care what Doncaster or Sheff Utd😘are doing, why would I? 

And I don't have to hold my hands up simply for having a different opinion to you

I want them to drag Evatt out in to the center circle with a black hood on his head so Sharon can give the thumbs up or down like in a Roman Coliseum.

All the fans cheers with their thumbs out as she makes her decision.

 

If it's a thumbs down, does she release the lions?

Apart from in the film Gladiator wasn't it the other way round for thumbs up/down?

@Whitesince63 we need club call back. I used to be addicted to that fucker I can still remember his voice and who we were playing at leyland now😂

Nowadays I’d rather hear nothing till we kick off again.

Well apart from returning my season ticket money after I threw my renewal at them😂
 

I was addicted to club call too and ringing it from work every 4 hours or so. It was difficult to get a Bolton news in Salford, so club call was a godsend. Then one day I got called into see the boss in his office. I was thinking this doesn’t look good, then he said do I recognise this number, the club call number. Working in Salford I was the only Bolton fan working there, so it was pointless denying. Fortunately I got a mild bollocking and told no more.

Look I live in South Yorkshire I’ve got both Sheffield clubs, Barnsley Donny and Rotherham and every one of them through their owners or managers have stated publicly through the local papers their intentions for next season. Every one of them has already signed players so spare me the shit about it’s closed season, everything’s ok, why should they say anything. If you want to live in your little sarcastic bubble club on here that’s fine but I and I believe an increasing number of other fans are concerned that nothing, nowt, zilch has emerged from our lot. That’s ridiculous and also insulting to fans who supported the club so well last season to be let down so badly at the end. An apology from our owner would be nice and what they intend to do to improve it next year. Nobody’s saying we can do anything about it but it would be both polite and nice if we could get at last some reassurance.

... but just because they have stated their intentions, it doesn't mean they will have a more successful season. It might placate fans in the short term, but has no bearings on the season.

You could praise Rotherham for 'getting' their business done early. Equally, they'll likely be paying over the odds for players they might have got on cheaper wages later in the window when no other bugger comes in for them.

I would much rather the club took their time and made the correct, rational decision about how to move forward next season. I do think you will hear things later this week or early next. But it makes no odds. Once you've heard the news, you'll just be desperate for the next bit of news.

Did it at uni 

Five of us in a shared house, all supported different teams 

Each if us would ring Clubcall for the gossip but never tell anyone else in the hope that you thought none of the others did so wouldn't notice when we got the bill and we'd just split it 

Then we got a bill that was larger than the GDP of most countries

And the best info we probably got was signing a youngster from Aldershot

Looking back it was a bit pointless, just speculation in the main.

Alan Nixon is the modern day equivalent 

But least he doesn't come with an 0891 number

Haha feel your pain mate. I used to hold the phone and lean by the receiver like I was somehow saving money for my dad. (Sorry dad)

My brother then claimed he had free access to club call and would tell me the news if I did his chores or go to the shop for him.

I finally gave up when his breaking news was ‘Tony Philiskirk likes Frosties for breakfast’

True 

In the days of me doing twitter I tried to follow him as was told he knew loads of footy gossip

Took weeks for him to accept my request to follow him, saying he needs to check out who I am 

Within a week it was full of mindless rumours and followers saying "hey Al any news about..."

Fucked it off within a week 

[Popeye doyle]

Just wondering, how do you get your updates nowadays. I always check newsnow Bolton and Marc iles, as well as this forum. Anyone got any tips?

It does. And very specific info about the number of friendlies, trip to Portugal, ‘tapering’ after friendlies against higher level opposition. Sounds very much to me like Evatt’s work.
