Why don't we name a stand after him?

 

After all, he did play for us for 10 years and not get paid a penny.

Great idea which one? A banner above the ESLSC?

  • Jesus christ, I don't know where to start with some of the shit in this thread but this seems as good as any.   You seem to have described the modern day 'SKD' when trying to describe Craig Davies.

  • I'll remember him for being a legend. I hope everyone else does.

yes that would be good,agree piss poor by the club the guy would of taken reduced wages to stay around in some capacity shame imo.

 

maybe freedman doesn't want him staying around

 

its time to look forward and while davies is around we'll always be looking back

Let everyone else have a go J

 

im sitting back and watching it unfold, good to see folk finally see what a cunt he is

because eventually you get treated like a twat.

 

gutted its ended like this, skd deserved better.

 

we've not offered him a new contract

 

we've told him months before we had to

 

we've done nowt wrong and all we have is kevin davies word that he isn't getting a testimonial

When I did 10 years for sainsburys I got a gold plated pin badge saying 10 years on it.

Spot on.

 

But

 

The lad deserves some sort of recognition for 10 years.

 

For the record, I got a pint of Guinness when I tipped over the same mark at my place.

And folk are moaning about him being told on his birthday

 

Fucking seriously??

 

Who gives a shit?! Do these people not go into work on their birthdays because the poor loves may get some bad news

 

Jesus wept

 

fcuking get in

I got fuck all for 10 years service.

 

Granted, I've done fuck all for most of my time, but that's not the point.

I got a grand which I spent on a giant tele.

To put another angle on it

 

Why don't people donate to his charity in the following way:

 

I'm fucking incensed and want to eat Phil Gartside = £100

 

I'm rather angry and am writing the the BEN = £50

 

It's shocking, really, but hey ho = £10

 

I couldn't give a fuck, he got £10million out of it = £1

That's a disgrace #justicefordazbob

Would they have given you the badge if you'd done 10 years less 5 days?

Did you not get a 5 minute trolley dash as well?

Sad to read, and listen to, the hostility to a player who gave his all to the club. He was good for Bolton Wanderers, let's not forget that.

 

 

fcuking get in

 

Your both wrong not just a bit wrong but a lot wrong, we purport to be a decent hard working and honest family club who cares about the fans and also the players well being whether there 8 or 36, if that's the treatment an honest as the day is long pro gets who has earn every penny of his wages over the term of his contract it sends out so many wrong messages aboutBWFC and the DNA of our club, no wonder the fans are repeatedly treated by the club with utter disdain, granted the decision to not offer him a new contract is probably right but a player coach role could and should have been offered, you can all fuck off if you think this has been dealt with in the correct manner because its not and I'm angry that KD has been hit with a below the belt and cheap shot.

Exactly where i am at. I'm not going off Kevin Davies word he won't get a testimonial. He clearly feels he has been treated wrong or he wouldn't be doing interviews with talksport. The club owes him, despite the millions he's earned. Its not his fault he was a premier league striker for the majority of his career with us.

the decision to not offer him a new contract is probably right but a player coach role could and should have been offered

 

So your suggesting that he should be offered a new contract as a player coach? - has he got all his badges, is he a good coach? - presumably DF doesn't think so, or surely he would have offered him this type of contract.

 

Davies himself said on the radio earlier that he wants to keep playing for another 2 years, if this is the case, maybe he didn't want a player/coach position.......if that's the case, then why should the club offer him such a contract?

 

How has KD been hurt in all this?

 

during the international break he's had a chat with dougie about his future dougie has said he'll be off in the summer.

 

It's not like Kev didn't know this was coming.

 

Anyone would think Gartside has just announced to the press before telling Davies

What about super kev derailing our play off push on national radio to meet his own self interest

Sad to read, and listen to, the hostility to a player who gave his all to the club. He was good for Bolton Wanderers, let's not forget that.

Is there really hostility being shown to the player?

 

I think most will agree that letting him go is the right thing to do, because as a player he's not really going to be good enough for us next season. The timing of the announcement is odd though, I don't know why it couldn't have waited until the end of the season.

 

For what it's worth, I think he'll get his testimonial.........it'll be interesting to see how many turn up for it as well.

So it will be Davies fault when we dont make the play offs. Behave.

He was willing to take a big pay cut he's done his Uefa B he is well respected all around football he has been an unbelievable pro and a exceptional ambassador for BWFC he is the epitome of an old fashioned striker he can pass his wealth of experience on while still giving us 10-15 minutes at the end of a game if necessary there are no downsides to keeping him at the club except he's the last of our great team from the recent past and the current management team and Gartside and the disgusting cronies who run our club want him exorcised.

i like you, but your judgement has been shown to be all to cock more than once

 

you had mark davies and lee sold in the summer whilst other less emotional folks told you to chill

 

kevin davies has been very good for us

 

much less so in the last 18 months

 

in fact, i'd go so far as to say he has been very poor this season, certainly not value for money

 

freedman now thinks he can do better with the money davies would cost

 

i'm happy to trust him

 

don't see why you wouldn't, unless you think kevin davies is bigger than the club

 

i don't

 

nor do we have vacancies for coaches - and if we did, he wants to play on

 

his words not mine

 

so

 

you're wrong
