If I met him in the street I'd roll my socks down, mince about a bit and ask for a contract.

Its easy to come to that conclusion after they outplayed us today, but they had scored 2 goals in their last 5 games and are bottom half.  Their crowd was flat as a pancake because they are poor to watch.  He's doing a very average job this season with the resources he has (eg Clarke-Harris and Hugill on the bench) - beating us comprehensively at home doesn't even mean getting your team to play to their strengths, its not working against many other teams. 

Spot on. It's not like Rotherham are great or they're being coached by an expert, they're having a bad season.

But any semi decent physical side has a field day against us.

What happened with the Evatt Out banner? I was up towards the top left so couldn't really see but it seemed to come and then stewards swarmed around it

Did they ? Have we become SO sensitised to protest ? That's awful

If I met Mr Evatt in the street I would extend him the respect deserved of a BWFC manager and express my appreciation of the good things he has done for the club, then if things progressed I would invite him for a pint and get pissed with him... we're all sailing along in the same leaky ship at the end of the day

Stop lying. You don’t have an airing cupboard 

I've got two. One is for regular life and the other is for underperforming Bolton managers

A proper piss up with a Bolton born and bred lad would probably do him some good

If they’re employee B Shares there will almost certainly be a clause requiring them to be sold back to the club. Since as far as I know they’re not traded on any market I have no idea of the value but I wouldn’t expect it to be an issue.

There WILL be a clause which gives him the opportunity to cash in after a time (usually 5 years) or if she leaves he'll get am option at that time

Obviously their value relates to the price on the day. 

Nothing about them ties him to the club unless sacked on Gross Misconduct or if he resigns without terms.

We really need to get him out for a proper night with the lads... a reality check will do him good and stop obsessing with the algorithms

In my experience you just fuck em off and pick up the pieces later, it'll just be an ongoing financial claim in the accounts that the bean counters can make a provision for

Picturing him on Bradshawgate at 4am

Singing our new tune 'backwards and sideways everywhere we go' whilst doing the helicopter with his pants round his ankles

Shares in a football club would only be problem if he gets a job managing another club I would have thought .
Unless he as some golden share that vetos any board decision to sack him that means we’re stuck with him till Man City come calling

That's why I ask. I saw the banner go up so I wonder if something kicked off around it with pro-Evatt folk? Otherwise it was just stewards shutting down protest for no reason

My nephew was behind it and said someone tried to pull it away from them and a short scuffle blew up .

If only the team had as much fight about them.

Just put in my Delay Repay, with the train delays meaning we missed the first 10 minutes (dare say with a few others on here). Should probably thank them so that I only had to witness 80 minutes of shite instead of 90.

The team is just absolutely broken, and by extension the club is as well. Was a very tough watch with so many players either not interested, not up to it or a cunning combination of the two.

We all know how an Evans team is going to line up, yet despite umpteen games against him, Evatt still can’t work out how to counter it.

The kids half-time game and second half musical chairs were the genuine high points of the day. I really chose a shit day to have a break from the ale.

Spineless twats !!!! . I thought my blood boiling would have thawed me out by now .

Not reading 20-odd pages. I think we all agree that today was shit.

[London Wanderer]

We make these teams look so good. Look where Wigan are since they dominated us. Will be the same with Rotherham in a month or so.

It’ inexcusable 

Evatt going on about the players…He’s had year upon year to build the right mentality. That argument only works if you’re in a relatively new position.

Oh I'm not mate.

A new manager could whip these cunts into shape.

It's all just gone stale as fuck and the blokes ran out of ideas on how to fix it.

 Nobody can legislate for individual errors though. Golden chances, stupid defensive mistakes or shit misplaced passes. 

Chuck all that on a wank stupid system and flawed possession based philosophy and it's all a complete disaster.

 

Summed up in four phrases.

These players haven't gone shite, they've had everything coached out of them. Every one of them has been MotM one week and not fit to kick a ball the next.
