I know he's some of yours mate but is he still employed at the club?

If so should be be effectively touting himself for his bosses job on Facebook?

Made some enquiries at a local estate agent the other day, and who answered the phone but their new branch manager, David Flitcroft. Quite the fall from grace (or not).

Was it not Ste Flitcroft who's been an estate agent for years ?

Not unless he's taken to calling himself Dave

How do you know it wasn't

What the fuck is that, you turnip. I didn't say it wasn't.

A simple question, based on the fact you were on the phone and couldn't see him.

I was curious how you'd managed to get into a conversation that had him saying who he was.

But hey ho, nowt like contrary cuntism.

Loads sucking him off on his Facebook page wanting him in charge

No that’s just a portal / marketplace for the estate agents rether than an estate agent itself

Big brother Gaz owns an estate agents in bx. 

https://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/2021/january/bolton-wanderers-finalise-academy-restructure/

 officially left the club now

I thought he'd long since left. I wish them all well but hopefully we replace them with decent quality people.

The club has been a disaster for years, i've no issue replacing the old guard with fresh blood not that i'm blaming these in any way.

That’s really sad news, all contact with our history has now been severed. I can understand a restructure being made but I can’t believe that a complete clear out was necessary when outsiders are being brought in. Good luck to all of them and I hope they get fixed up with good jobs elsewhere, they deserve them after what they’ve done for our club.

There's no place for sentimentality these days.

They can join the ST if they care about the club.

Great news

Sentimentality? Nothing to do with sentimentality. Young players coming into such a historic club benefit from contact with players who’ve been there and done it and these guys have. Not just that but they’ve been successful in their roles and maybe if they’d been trusted a bit more instead of the likes of Parkinson and Evatt, we might not be facing losing our league status?

It’s only great news if those coming in are as good or hopefully better. 

I'm disappointed for him because he's a top guy with a good reputation at that level. Let's hope the new blood can do better. 

Suppose this was all in the pipeline given the decision to downgrade to a Category 3 academy

Article names 7 outgoing -  probably only need 2 or 3 incoming 

Will have cost a bit in redundancies that little lot

Its great news because the model of employing ex players as coaches wasn’t working.

And maybe if my Aunty had bollocks she’d be my uncle 

Surely they'll be snapped up by top clubs immediately, given their high calibre?

Our league position says otherwise

Classy, as to be expected.

Lee had the academy players playing some decent football, and that was in the Parky era, seems a strange decision considering Evatts football philosophy, a coach who probably believes in the same way of how the game should be played, he's crying out for a coach, we have one, why not use him ?

Some on here don't seem to like him, not sure why, past behaviour ? wanting the job himself ?... and all during a shit period for our club and an influx of crap managers, yet Lee has remained pretty loyal, seems a proper decent bloke and has shown some ambition in wanting to be the manager, it doesn't warrant a reaction of good riddance and fuck off, imo anyway.

Great post.

Good luck David and thanks for everything

Can only echo that predictable response by some, let’s face it IE needs all the help he can get the mans drowning

For once, and it hurt to say it, I find myself agreeing with Mr Grey. Wasn’t there a story going around at the height of Utd’s success that Lee turned down an offer from Warren Joyce to be his number 2 at their academy, but he wanted to stay with us as he had a good crop of young players.
