Popular Post meanderson93 Posted July 12 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 12 Really good night in the end that, held in good spirits as well. Evatt, as always to be fair to him, spoke well and came across far more humbled than I've seen or heard him before. Sam, for all his perceived faults, was good value for a few laughs even if he had clearly had a few G&Ts by the end! Questions were asked from the audience but on queue cards so nothing to cringe or unnecessarily critical obviously. Got mine answered, wrote about how they've both been criticised (unfairly in my eyes at times) for their styles of play and how that's affected them both. Sam's answer actually genuinely made me a bit emotional for a moment, he spoke at length how he regretted letting the media paint him as a long ball manager and how he's felt that at times limited him either from roles or his staff as well from getting jobs they may have deserved and he wished he'd have done more at the time to rectify that perception of him and his team. Genuinely seemed quite regretful about it all. All in all, good evening and decent value all in really, good engagement again from the club to open up for these sorts of things. Evatt mentioned as well this is his biggest budget he's had access to since being here and they're looking at the European market, 7 figure bids being banded about with multiple teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 It's a shame for Big Sam for me. He will go out wondering what he could and should have been rather than happy what he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be loved by all Bolton fans (is by myself) the fact it’s a bit of a mixed bag tells a story though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, greed got the better of him and only has himself to blame. He shit on us by being dishonest about his departure and his ego/greed blew the England job.

If so then that would be nice, the cash is obviously coming in somewhere (might shut a few up for a while) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted July 13 Members Share Posted July 13 I'll be amazed if we spend seven figures on a player without selling one first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got stuck into an excellent curry , then got a decent seat . Very respectful audience, 2 sessions. Wembley addressed immediately by Mr Evatt, no excuses " we froze " The need to strengthen his immediate backroom staff . (Which has been done). There has been rumours for some time if Evatt isn't at the training ground, various players slacken off. He was positive but not.as gung ho as he usually is. Onto Sam class as usual, humorous and very interesting to listen to . Second session a great selection of questions from the audience. Was it worth going definitely. And hopefully a few Bob raised for the charity. Sam - Class Ian - humble, probably realised he has alot to learn. Can he and the players handle the big pressure games this season ? Let's hope so.

Don't want any tarring with brushes Aye, imagine most people's guesses would be fairly similar! This is surely directly related to deciding to increase his backroom staff.
