only Bolton could be paying to sign a manager that people want and still have fans moaning about it.

Not moaning but being realistic and not get carried away 

  First of we haven’t signed him don’t think we have that sort of money to throw about and assemble a Squad as well  . 

But can’t see the figure of  a Quarter of a million to get him being correct

 Interesting barrow lost  three quarters of a million this season which was covered by the chairman And board they probably have more money than us 😂

Dont know contract situation with their players but i believe most of them are based nearer Bolton than Barrow so Evatt if he is appointed might bring a few over with him. anyway id think hed be good at identifying decent available talent in lower leagues.  Be a positive step for me and trust FV to be happy with any compo agreement so not a worry tbh

Yes that’s my take regarding being a positive step, the fact the club are willing to pay says something

Depends how many are under contract given the transfer embargo means we won’t be able to buy any players. 

Whoever gets the job,     if he doesn't win his first 10 games by at least 3-0 then do we start booing him  ?  

If we get Evatt that will do for me. Sounds like just what we need.  I think the majority of fans will be pleased with this appointment.

An extra 9 games slack to usual? Very generous.

This is the mentality I find frustrating. Do a basic google of the net worth of our owners. They have more the ED had. They aren’t smashing money out it would appear due to the embargo’s and restrictions on the club. Everyone assumes we have nothing. Last time I check we were just becoming sustainable which is what people wanted. If they find money when it’s needed I don’t see an issue 

Also barrows big money man has gone and it’s local business men backing it so they ain’t sustaining them losses for long

This is probably for the season tickets thread, but I agree with this completely.  Not necessarily to pay for a new manager, but surely they want some income?  Loads of us would be happy to "advance" the club £100 to use towards the season ticket.  We'd all be paying towards it now under normal circumstances and we'd completely understand the club needs some "readies" for signing new players etc.

I think if we are serious about STs let's start paying. It will show FV that the fans are behind them, and may give them an indication of the numbers of STs they are likely to sell.

 

Yep, all seems positive for me, winning mentality, fresh, obviously well thought of - let’s get behind him and the team and get this show on the road.

I hope he is given at least two seasons.Nobody should be judged after just one season  at this shipwreck

I’m not sure net worth is all that counts to how much money you can put into a club depends how much is tied up in assets surely?

Googled Sharon Brittans net worth, according to hitc she’s worth 45 million. Eddie Davies came up as 65 million in 2009. I don’t know how much Michael James is worth but doubt it’s absolutely loads.

Everyone probably assumes we have nothing because we’ve not had a chance to spend anything, granted, but we haven’t actually bought out Evatt yet, until we do, we’re still broke in the eyes of many.

Hope we get Evatt in. It's got that bit of intrigue about it. A man on the up with no negative history meets us at just the right time. Got a good feeling about it. 

I was definitely in the pub and probably raised a glass when Hill got appointed as that felt right at the time too so I know fuck all. Same as any other fan. FV have felt sound since day one though. I trust them to get this right.

Evatt out

If we can pay compo for him, we can pay it for someone who knows these waters.

A backward step. Again.

Nobody new these waters better than Hillcroft !

For some reason I just had a vision of Pablo singing "Evatt on, Evatt on, Evatt on".

Going for an Alka Seltzer and a lie down.

Agree with most of this the only question I have about Evatt is how he performs under pressure and when things aren’t going his way, Hill wilted under that pressure, let’s hope Evatt is big enough time take it on the chin and continues to make good calls when under pressure.

Ill have Evatt if he kicks shit around the dug-out and shouts a lot, oh and points, agressively, this is quite important. So in summary.

  • Kicks shit about the dug out
  • Shouts (a lot)
  • Vigorous and aggressive fingering (thats we people call pointing)
  • And smart Jumpers like Pep at Man City
  • If we are to adopt a Barcelona approach he will have to dress smart. Tight clingy clothes and short hair, whilst aggressively fingering and shouting.
  • Thats it.
  • I think we're already promoted
  • HASTA LOS PODEROSOS PIES
