Mills and Craig Davies gone, good news is Pratley and Bogdan not released fingers crossed.

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.

Wheater because he's always injured....

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.

trotter for me with a name like that should be lofty junior next season

When nl commented that some players can't keep their heads up when the going gets tough.. I'm assuming he meant mills and dervite

 

Both good players but missing something..

5million off the wage bill. Quite a chunk that.

Wheater, when fit, first name on team sheet.

I don't mind him but I'd not go that far. Turning circle of a tank!

The longer Wheater is out of the team, the more his reputation grows for some reason

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

Ream has pace I guess, but not convinced about him in the middle. 

 

Exciting times, can't wait to see who comes in.

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.

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.

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.

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

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've stopped believing anything they report nowadays their clueless.

It all adds up to what Gonch was saying about having no idea what the hell is going on

 

I understand not all the club's business can be transparent obviously

The worry I have is that our gate income is pathetic and our wage bill should be south of 5 million based on that income where that takes us a a club is painful to contemplate I would say it takes us to a run of the mill league one club.

our prices are too high as it is

Feel a bit sorry for Davies. I liked his battering style. Lennon obviously wants a 20 a season striker.

id say he wants a 40 game a season one as much as he wants the goals

 

a fit davies would be great for us

I'm hoping we review the Craig Davies situation and persuade him to sign on a low basic then pay as you play and goal bonus that should work for us but maybe it won't suit him.

doesnt matter if it suits him

 

just make him sign

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

our prices are too high as it is

Remember....its £15 to watch Stockport
