Bolton taking over as the new Blackpool? 09:05 - Dec 15 with 5545 views | Mullet |
The stuff coming out of the club round here is fairly toxic and damaging. How bad it will get remains to be seen, but it's a long old season. I know if we stay up because they get a deduction or whatever is pathetic, but I'd take that over Div 3 every time. | |

Yeah, we could have got rid of Mick and completely fallen apart I guess. | |

Doing badly on the pitch is one thing, behaviour like that is something else altogether. | | | |

In fairness, Evans would have had to be around for 3 or 4 months to behave this badly. We definitely haven't been close to OK off field until Lambert got here. | |

But he does pay the wages and bills on time. | | | |

People haven’t gone without wages though have they? I’m not trying to be an apologist for Evans but we should keep a little perspective, he’s not in the Blackpool/Bolton/Coventry league of bad owners. | | | |

No, but is that the bar we want to measure him against? We were meant to be building something bigger and better, we've not even stood still. Our decline this season has to see him scrutinised, it's his most important period ever. Saying well at least we're not one of the extremes isn't good enough either. | |

Definitely not, but that is literally what was being discussed in this thread. No one’s saying where we are is good enough. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

For every Bolton Wanderers there's a Manchester City or Huddersfield Town!! Yes, we could be worse off it ME went, but equally we could get an owner who has aspirations and wants the club to succeed both on and off the pitch. Just a thought?! [Post edited 15 Dec 2018 10:21]

Seriously, what exactly has Evans done to upset you? Regardless of whether Mick Mack was over or under achieving he had to go. Everyone was crying out for a young manager, people were also crying out for lower league future starlets. Evans delivered exactly what people wanted and backed his man. Hurst was a disaster and somehow has attracted a quality manager. What has he done wrong? | |

Evans should put in more money. Full stop. Any questioning or looking at any positives whatsoever makes you a happy clapper. Whatever that means. Seriously though, who cares, er COYFB. Ipswich 2 Wigan 1 | |

You're not asking me so beg your pardon but the Evans regime has been a complete disaster and has failed at pretty much every turn. Yes he is floating the club now but it is highly arguable to say he "saved the club" in 07 as I see argued here many times. | |

What is your answer to getting the owner to givce the club away or to put in enough money to win, win, win? Hopefully he has learned lessons but I retunr to my continual theme, he needs a quality football advisor as MD at PR not a lawyer | | | |

Football is a sh1t business. It seems impossible to make money, even Prem teams are short of cash, I fail to see why all these super rich bods invest in football, it can't be to make money. We have no idea what or where we would be if we never had Evans, it's a bit like BREXIT, the complete unknown. | |

Not enough. You see, I don't think "Evans delivered exactly what people wanted and backed his man". I think he replaced Mick with that, but then didn't adjust the running of the club to facilitate it. Hence he let the new man get away with murder because he wasn't involved enough and again is having to bail us out or this time let us sink. He's caught in two minds between flaunting us with a view to selling us, and sinking more in and ends up doing the worst of both worlds because of it. We should never be here, and yet this is the third and worst time under his stewardship. Either he should have gone from Mick to Lambert and kept us running as we were, or gone for wholesale restructuring. As for "everyone" being united on anything since Evans has been here, I'm not so sure. Ironically relegation might be the most unifying of them all. | |

It's a play thing of the very rich nowadays. The closest anyone has come to a successful business model coupled to success on the pitch was Arsenal where constant Champions League quarter finals or whatever was seen as stagnation and failure. | |

This is it and also explains why every club that MM leaves struggles. He has so much control, there is a vacuum in major parts of the organisation when he’s gone. | |

Heard that Bolton's kit supplier went to the club store today to remove 46 boxes of merchandise.. No official word on why or what for but could be yet another sign of the club going into administration Players and Staff only being paid due to a loan from the PFA and were expected to offload some higher earners this month.. | | | |

Yep, I'd say we might not finish bottom even if we continue at the same pace. Which is not good to see, as much as they were our rivals in the olden days to see them punished would make a mockery of the fact teams get away with so much. If it meant us finishing 4th bottom though, strip those points FA! | |
