So when you're on holiday do you report back to say all's well in the world?

Tbf that depends on your job.

I was always contactable & wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Usually just a brief update or a check.

You'll take what you're given and fucking like it pal.

Fair enough. Just helps with your credibility if you can back up your statements with evidence less than 18 years old. 
 

Clear at this point you’ve thrown something out there with no basis. 
 

For now, I’ll take what you’ve given me and I’m fucking loving it pal.

but drawing conclusions about someone without knowing the full picture certainly isn't going to yield a fair and accurate assessment. 

This place is fucked if that becomes the new rule 😁

I think it's insulting to fans to start spouting and speculating when there's nothing to be said. If we're trying to sign players they should keep their traps shut until the deals are done - too many times we've had prospects stolen from under our noses. If there are changes in the managerial pipeline at the club they should say fuck all until they actually happen - and ideally keep it shut until a solution is in place.

Speculation is unprofessional and potentially damaging and as much as some needy fans want to know everything that is going on behind the scenes, it usually goes causes discontent when it turns out not to be true.

FFS Lusty not you too? Nobody’s asking for secrets and nobody’s suggesting the management advise of deals they’re working on but we’ve signed two new players, deals done, not going to fall through, yet not one word from our Manager on either. I honestly can’t recall any manager not at least welcoming or commenting on new players signed at any club not just here. Don’t be another complete bozo like the usual numpties on here just ready to jump on posters with their childish nonsense. I genuinely thought you had more sense and would understand the need for some clarity but maybe not?

I love a bit of childish nonsense.

You were demanding clarity and statements from the club after Wembley. I told you exactly what would be said and when (check back).

Now you've started demanding clarity and statements from Evatt. Yesterday, I told you what will happen. 

Demand all you like, or trust that the info I am giving you is accurate. It will save you a lot of stress and anxiety.

I am so not bothered about my "credibility" though.

Credibility is for losers. Fact.

Oops - I've done it again... :)

Yeah but do you not get fed up with the drivel that folk spout in the absence of anything happening?

I'm not having a go at you - I'd just rather not listen to the likes of "Baccus is a done deal - erm... no it's not" or "Bolton set to sign Wilson from Bristol...hang on, he's signed for Derby" etc etc.

We have clarity - we know who has left and who we've actually signed. Anything else makes things less clear if anything.

Accept all that Lusty but wouldn’t you expect a manager who’s just signed two players to at least acknowledge them to the fans? I just find it really strange that following the worst fall off in a season I can remember plus overseeing a complete debacle at Wembley, that our manager might just want to come out and lift spirits for next season instead of appearing to be cowering away and being silent. Contrary to some on here I don’t believe it is just me that’s disappointed, read other sites and the BN comments and it’s clear there’s a growing frustration that there’s absolutely no contact with fans or the press. Sorry but I just find it very wrong.

Assuming that Evatt is staying, looks like we have a new assistant manager.

Wigan Athletic first-team coach Stephen Crainey has left to take up the role of joint assistant manager at Bolton Wanderers.

The former Scotland international, who was promoted from the Under-21 set-up last year by Shaun Maloney, expressed an interest to team up with his old Blackpool team-mate Ian Evatt in Horwich.

So …

Another Evatt “yes-man” whose playing experience was as a defender! Is there anyone on the first team coaching staff who isn’t an ex-defender or keeper, and hasn’t got prior links with Evatt.

Just for once, I’d like to see an addition to the coaching staff, who has a playing background as a striker or, at least, an attacking midfielder, and is not one of Evatt’s mates!

Sharon seems to be a fairly progressive leader, without the extreme tendencies of some. However, there is very little diversity of thought, background or experience in the management team.
