Anderson Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 It isn't what Neil Lennon, Garry Parker or Johann Mjallby have been saying though. Clear that Medo and Spearing aren't wanted. Personally based on what Marc Iles and Nixon have said I think Baptiste is in the same boat. If anyone came in for them I reckon you could add them to the 13 already gone. Trotter would be binned off if they had the chance as would Wheater I suspect. That's a lot to be rid of. Agree with most, can't imagine Wheater will be one of them though. Our best defender at this point and one of few leader types left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I think you could add Dervite, Moxey & Rob Hall to that list too. Yep. Thought I suspect he could live with Moxey just about. Hall definitely. Dervite is shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules_darby Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I don't mind him but I'd not go that far. Turning circle of a tank!And a yellow/red card waiting to happen because of the constant shirt pulling That said, id have him in alongside some pace if he was fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagermoot Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Ream has pace I guess, but not convinced about him in the middle. Exciting times, can't wait to see who comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) 5million off the wage bill. Quite a chunk that. The Bolton news reporting today that the wage bill is 35% lower than the 37.5 million when we were relegated so the wage bill still tops 27 million only about another 22 million to shed. That shows the scale of our problem. Edited May 16, 2015 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Blixa Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Thought it had been reported as being down to £15m? And that contract talks had ended. But bizarrely they claim they are ongoing again now. They know less than us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blixa Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 The longer Wheater is out of the team, the more his reputation grows for some reason Wheater needs to go. He's presumably on a good wedge to not play. Nothing against him, but we aren't going to get a full season out of him and that's what we need. Consistency.

Consistency.Took a pretty hefty drop in wages when he signed his last contract by all accounts, for our current plight I'm sure he's still one of our highest earners. I like the guy and doubt we can do much better in our position, but he's had very few 'great' games for us and yet some are obsessed with him returning as if it will suddenly save us 30 goals a season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bolton News comic reporting today wages 35% down from first season we dropped out of premiership I'd have thought we had dropped the wage bill by more than that.

I wonder what our gate receipts for a season are? - probably around £3M I reckon. We need to be trimming the wage bill to around £2m/£3M really - which is probably what Mills and Beckford were taking out of the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
