He might turn out to be a shit coach but is it not worth offering a 1 year coaching role to see if he can pass his undeniable experience on? What if he's a blinding coach who also just happens to be a loyal and proud BWFC man and gives us 25 years of coaching excellence is that not more desirable than this absolute fuck up.

But which below exactly is the "fuck up" Mounts?

 

Not giving him a contract extension?

 

Not giving him a coaching role?

 

Not giving him a testimonial?

 

Telling him on his birthday?

 

Him going on Talkshite?

 

His wife bleating bollocks?

 

 

ermm, if you're not going to accept facts, then theres no point discussing it

 

emma davies knew the score on saturday night

 

today, kevin and emma say he was told today

 

at best, this is deceitful, at worst, downright lies

 

OK that might be the case no one knows for sure the timing, but it does not excuse or justify the lack of respect for a good pro and loyal servant.

I get 84 in 373 for KD

 

and 122 in 347 for DB

 

at least KD would get on a plane

 

 

 

what I don't get is all this sense of animosity towards him

 

has he stayed here too long? he's not as good as he was, but all the managers including DF keep picking him so not sure why he gets so much shit

 

he's been a great player for us, deserves a bit more respect for me - we've been good for each other over the last 10 years

 

And how proud did we all feel when he made his England debut - whch wasnt that long ago

Aren't testimonials used to help charities now anyway?

Call me churlish but I'd be fucked if I'm putting money in a players.

That was absolutely fantastic

 

And he's given us many other brilliant moments

 

That doesn't mean he's been treated badly though

we know it wasn't today

 

so, why should we believe anything coming from #teamdavies

 

they're upset

 

understandable

 

but if they want to start peddling untruths, they'll rapidly lose any sympathy

 

 

 

where is the lack of respect you refer to?

It should have been handled better, he could have been offered a player coaching role majoring on coaching he could have been made to be part of the fabric of the club the lack of a testimonial is scandalous, even Robbie Blake was treated better by the club, his wife and talksport are superfluous to this debate.

what if freedman wants him out?

 

does he have to keep him on for ever?

oh aye, if he wants a testimonial and we are allowed to award him one, i'd have allowed him to have one

 

if he has to formally request it and he didn't, then i wouldn't be able to award it

i wouldn't go though

His contract runs out this Summer

 

He stated on Talkshite he wants to play for another "couple of years" and even said he thinks he could still do a job in the Premiership (now that is deluded)

 

Lets assume by he non contract offer, DF disagrees

 

How would a player coaching role work at BWFC?

 

And that's before you even think about how good he is or isn't as a coach anyway

 

It even could be a conflict of interests

 

We can't afford to have him as a player if he's not in our plans

 

If he wanted to coach in the Academy and not play for example, that's different

 

 

we know it wasn't today

He clearly wanted to remain at the club and he should and could have been offered a role on the coaching set up months ago, it should have been discussed at board level and with the playing management how best to deal with his impending move from playing to coaching if it was dealt with in the correct manner I'm sure that this could have been sorted amicably as it is its a mess.

I'm sure if Dougie saw something in him then he'd be eager to keep him on board. I'll trust his judgement.

 

But he has figured in most of Dougies teams - who replaces him for the rest of the season?

and again, mate

But Freedman obviously doesn't want or need him on the coaching staff. That's the bottom line. If he did, he'd have been offered one. You can't just drop coaches onto him when he doesn't need them.

if we get his wage off the bill, there'll be all sorts of possibilities

A bit of perspective (if you ignore the fact they're Welsh, and it's nowt to do with football)

In fact, if Gartside insisted on Davies getting a job, there's every chance that Freedman would feel undermined - and leave at the first opportunity.

i bet HR checked their birth dates before breaking the news

It's madness to throw a player who's been pivotal to the clubs tapestry for years when you need to freshen it up, he was part of the highs but he's been a massive part of the lows too,

 

Freedman has a club to sort out, Gartside has to stick with his manager not undermining him by appointing a coach for sentiment

 

It's sad it's ending like it is but this is not all the clubs doing

 

 

You only have to read his missus' timeline from the weekend to know that, errr, they knew!!!

 

He's been great for bolton, as we've been great for him.

 

Weve got plenty of ex wanderers still here, including a manager who was sacked after half a dozen games. Yet he must think were alright even after that.

Give him the testimonial he deserves, give him the nod that he's not in your plans in January when he could have gone somewhere else, make a statement fom the top thanking him for his sterling service to BWFC, we have history of this and players who play for the club currently and looking in from the outside it looks shit treatment of a good professional and that's not how you would like your club to be perceived.

see, that i'll give you

 

but, theres no knowing that we didn't intend to do that

 

we don't know why the club released that statement today

 

if i had to guess, its cos davies told them he was going public

Maybe Dougie rates him ahead of Sordell and C.Davies. Maybe he thinks, come the summer, he can get a better player on far lower wages. I reckon he can.
