Maybe.

Show me where he has done well and I will consider it. We have been pretty shit when I have seen us. People act like we will be worse off without him. He has brought in poor players, players he doesn't play. I am not saying he has had it easy but isn't his key attribute getting the most out of poor sides?

Well, that's the sort of manager we need. NL doesn't seem to be it, nice chap though he is.

sad, isnt it

 

The only light on the horizon is that Yoof has passed his driving test, just need a small lottery win to pay for his insurance and he can drive to games so I can at least have a drink.

Regardless of being shafted over money the players hes got in front of him, should be able to finish above the wank that rotherham mk dons and preston have

 

Why do people think this? I think its as simple as we just dont have very good players.

Bolton could be left with no players by mid-January
 
The struggling Championship club have not paid their players since October and could lose them all if they fail to pay them at the end of this month
 
And manager Neil Lennon has admitted it is a worrying situation for the Trotters.
 
He said: “They can give the club two weeks’ notice. That is their right. Obviously at this time of year it’s a huge concern if they’re not getting paid. We need something done very, very quickly.

Just read some of the comments on Yahoo relating to the above link, I don't think many people like us.

 

i read about 2 snipes, and the rest either feeling sorry for us or moaning about modern football

Could be a blessing in disguise. Imagine all the shit players we couldn't shift getting binned off and some kids with everything to prove beong thrown in at the deepend.

 You could be right.

Conventional wisdom is not to blood youngsters under relegation pressure as they may wilt under pressure and lose their appetite for the game, spoiling their career development.

But if some players walk away it may be the only option available.

 

Lennon chose not to renew his Cetic contract (so did not get a pay-off) - they wanted to keep him, he wanted to get a Premier League appointment. No club regarded him as suitable, so eventually he lowered his ambitions and took on BWFC.

 

Clearly this has unravelled in ways he could not have imagined. His image as a manager (rightly or wrongly) has been severely tarnished, and that won't improve if he chooses to walk. His best (only?) option is to soldier on  Five successive home wins (Fulham, Blackburn, Huddersfield, MK Dons and Rotherham), with away wins/draws at (Charlton), Rotherham, Wednesday, Forest and Wolves would transform the position.

OK, there as been no sign of it yet, it's the hope that kills.

Only the decent ones will walk

 

ipso facto, we'll be OK for players

The talk has become incredibly stale, and I for one am fed up with clicking on every available news source. We're now discussing the manager which shows everyone feels similar.

I still feel we'll avoid admin, whether or not this will be ultimately beneficial is a different matter.

 

I also can't see many players walking, they'd be on better money here potentially. I won't name names, but some of them aren't going to be top of the shopping list for most championship clubs.

Anyway don't the home team contribute to away team travel expenses ?

 

Maybe they used to, but I don't think that happens any more  -  if it does, we might not have any more home games for a while  :D
