Hi everyone, I'm a Leeds fan who comes in peace. I'm writing an article which assesses each championship clubs transfer window. I would really appreciate it if I could get the opinion of some Bolton fans. If you're interested in helping then comment below or drop me a message. Thanks.
I'm a bit confused as to how our opinion of Bolton fans relates to our business this January. What do you mean?
I live up that way, so I admire any proper Bolton fan these days. Their club has been run to sh1t and while I know a few lapsed Trotters who lost interest after the Fat Sam days and signing world class players on the downward slide, they're usually decent second tier football fans.
Just the playoff semi-final and their delusion about the reffing and result causes friction with us. To see that game through any other lens than a typical Fat Sam coming to cheat and kick lumps out of a team, only to be found out is bizarre.
As for our window, we've signed the best we could get and it probably won't be enough without some luck and something clicking. Dawkins is an odd choice but Lambert knows him so might explain that.
Beyond that we've got a mix of talent and experience with a lot question marks over their heads. If they can prove they deserve to stay at this level, it might be enough for us.
If you ask Notlob fans their opinion of the play-off semis v ourselves a couple of decades or so ago & write an article on that to go along with your transfer window one, I think you might sell 10 x as many copies!!
Can I have a go? There is a common theme that runs through Bolton.
1) They are called the trotters - FACT 2) There are many thoughts around the name Bolton and how it came to be but the one that seems to have the main significance is that the name is derived from its situation 'bowel town' - FACT 3 )The first settlement in Bolton was thought to be Turdton Heights just above Egerton - FACT 4) I think the January transfer window for Bolton has really been excrement. - Opinion.
