Didn't TSO see Jimmy Tarbuck as well when I saw Ronaldo?

will he be bringing Eileen Drewery with him?

Where did you hear this? Eileen Drewery or whatever her name is?!?! :rofl:

Not a f?kin chance,

Glen Hoddle with Ken Dodd as assisstant and perhaps Cannon and Ball as coaches. We are definately moving forward!

have they died?

until i see some hard evidence, i believe sammy lee is going nowhere.

spoke to a chap who I never met before in the gym in euxton, he knows allardyce personally having worked on the scouting side, he said allardyce was forced out of bolton he would not elaborate but said allardyce loved Bolton snd would of not left but was left with no option but to leave, he also said that Jewell was being lined up as manager and said watch this space.

i still have faith in LSL but tbh i wouldnt complain if Jewell came in. he has a decent record (apartfromlastyear)

I have heard the Jewell runour

All b0llocks, all of it. Elvis will be our new manager when his contract expires at 7-11.

Nothing on News Now and that currently looks at 29559 news sources.

 

So I guess that means - this story is utter shite!

Don't shoot the messanger, only posting what I heard. As for news feeds the story has yet to reach the media so that is only to be expected FFS.

Here is what happened. Sam wanted more money to invest in the team he wanted to take us to the next level, the baord were not prepared to back him. He even came up with a plan of how to raise extra money, the board would nt back him. after sam came with a financial plan gartside asked sam if he (gartside) could have a go at picking the side.

 

it went down hill from there, so yes he was forced out in some ways.

 

the board would nt risk bankrupting the club to get to the next level, sams plans involved increasing ticket prices.

 

all this is from a source very very close to the club, sam thought he had a job for life at bolton and thought the club would do anything to keep him, they would nt so he left.

 

can nt blame for leaving in those circumstances, but cannt blame the board for sticking to their budgets.

thats as feasible as plenty other explanations

 

but

 

lets say prices were increased by 100% from 400 quid (for sake of a figure)

 

average season ticket is now 800 quid

 

and lets assume we grow attendances from 22 to 27 k (again, it aint happening)

 

we're only talking, even at these extremes (having more than doubled our yearly gate receipts) about 12 million quid

 

i hope his plan had some other revenue generators as well

 

 

garty 'shall i pick the team'

 

love it

Im with the coaching staff for the next three days, however dont expect any speculation talk, they 'usualy' speak only positivly and profesionaly about our club

one who I know of said recently

 

1 - staff not too impressed with cid

2 - staff v impressed with nolan in training, attitude etc

 

point 2 certainly backs up what you say

no sam had a whole range of ideas.

 

the story i heard was that garty actually put a team sheet up with everyone out of position and waited for sams reaction.

fook me

explains a few things

People go on about Gartside and the board when in reality it is Eddie Davies and no-one else.

 

Allardyce had taken us as far as he could that's the only reason he moved on, as for Gartside picking the team that could come directly from the people who brougt you "Footballers Wives".

Give Sammy Lee a chance FFS!! We know thats why he came to us in the first place with the possible promise of taking over when allardyce left, maybe for the england job we all maybe thought... he showed his commitment to us by pulling out of the U 21's job and other England commitments.

 

Other candidates...

 

Hoddle? No thanks, been out of management to long IMO

Jewell?

Warnock?

Dowie?

Burley?

Sunbed?

 

None really set the pulses racing.
