Who thinks he has the fans at heart then? we're fickle according to him...

Well Bolton fans are fickle. Proably not any more than some other teams, but still, we are. & I'm not sure if he was quoted as saying that anyway.

Just wamted to add my own recorded welcome to Owen (already been told by 'er indoors that a child of ours won't ever be called Owen - will have to try Columba next!)

 

I remember well him being out with the drinking lads in his era - McGinlay and Browny leading the way - in the waning days of Student Ritzy. Never missed a chance to have a quick (as quick as they made it) word with one or the others. Owen on his coca-cola's - always suspected they were laced with treble vodka's but that, as we now know, is not Owen's way.

 

He always seemed a proper decent bloke with a rich fondness for the club ie: out talking with pissed-up-new-drinker-me on a night out, on driving duties also for his boozed up team mates.

 

I wish him the best of luck

I love your optimism, but let's just temper it slightly. That way, you won't be disappointed with mid-table obscurity after this season's dogfight that we're still in

Me and Bolty didn't for starters , so your wrong

 

:good: Saved me saying it.

 

More good times under Garty than any Chairman since 1959. A good enough endorsement for me.

He's had to work very hard I suspect to keep us on an solid financial base with pressure from managers, players and even fans. Look around at "big" clubs beginning to crash and burn.

 

It's his job to keep a level head, plan for all eventualities from FA Cup wins & Europe to relegation & adverse publicity. He has to try and keep gates up and costs down and ultimately manage the entire staff of BWFC. Yes he gets paid well to do it but he aint doing to bad in my opinion and whilst there may not be a "chairman of the month" award, they work just as hard every day as the managers.

PG has made up for the whole "people who know football" thing landing OC. Its us against the world again now and i love it.

 

1 or 2 signings and i think we will climb the table in no time, just looking forward to getting 100% from the players something that became very rare under GM.

Can't see our playing style changing for most of this season - be suicidal to suddenly go all 'tappy tappy passy' with the players we have.

Hopefully if we are beating a poor side like Hull at home we will try to stay on the front foot rather than take off a goal scorer for McCann and hand them the initiative.

yeah, sure attitude and tactics will be different, but the way we play can't change unless we go for a squad upgrade - close season work, not January.

 

Cahill will be out at the end of season, money spent across the board. Wouldn't be surprised to see Muamba go if we get a decent offer, same for Taylor and a couple of others.

i still dont buy this "we cant play like burnley do" shite

 

burnley have far more cloggers in their team than us imo.

 

and to be honest, i dont believe burnley were fookin ajax or arsenal by any stretch.

 

in fact i lost count of the number of times jenson pumped it long for nugent to chase, the other week against us.

Effective tactics?

no, about 70% of the time it went out for a throw.

 

their GK coach obviously is very good a teaching kicking.

 

something i think jussi has improved massively with barber.

A widespread perception is that we are suddenly going to be playing samba football next week. We ain't and nor should we be as we haven't got the personnel right now. Nor have Burnley, which is why they're doing as shit as we are trying it out.

 

We need a middle ground - effective football with some flair and enterprise.

Exactly - We're in a relegation fight & it will be interesting to see if OC is willing to take unpopular decisions to keep us up , or will he try to play pretty football & take us down as this season's West Brom ?

Just keeping us up will be a success for OC this season ,& then it will be the time for him to start making bigger changes.

Nothing wrong with protecting a lead, the problem is that when we go 4 5 1 and try and defend we can nt do it.
