The only reason they didn't go the way of Bury and Macclesfield is their connections to the FA Most other clubs who try their recipe for success will end up defunct You have to invest some money to get success, and we have historically spent too little, but there are limits. Bolton spend other people's money way beyond their size or stature. Do you really think Bury fans think that last promotion out of League Two was worth extinction? That's not ambition, it's suicidal

.... which is exactly what they were telling themselves for the last twenty years whilst running up £173m of debt. They are doing exactly the same again now that debt was written off (partially footed by the taxpayer). They are not as big as their spending, and haven't been for years.

With the amount of money they've thrown at their squad twice this season, anything less than promotion is failure. Even David Dunn would take them up.

Anyone remember this lad? Allegedly we got a wedge for him, though I'm doubtful it was as much as it says here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paweł_Żuk_(footballer,_born_2001) There's been a few other youth products who went on to Premier League clubs for fees but then didn't make it.

It doesn't help that a lot of the non-league clubs we'd usually loan them to aren't playing at the moment, either

Saw him as a junior and thought he was going to be a world beater. No idea what they did to him at Bayern and Swansea.

He moved to get first team football. He then got a serious injury. https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/sport/football/fleetwood-keeper-joel-coleman-expects-be-out-three-five-months-2966803

Not sure even his biggest fans here would have expected him to make it all the way to the England team. Got to give him credit for the graft he's put in over the years, he's got better every season. I'd have him start for England over Maguire.

He was loaned to Rotherham for a season where he was their first choice. Leicester then chose to step him up and loan him to a top flight team in Europe, until he got injured. Until that recent injury, his trajectory is only upwards. He's not coming to teams down our way in the best future. Not even inconceivable he could be on the bench for his parent club in the Champions League next season if he performs well for Preston

Having players in the team who really care whether Oldham win each week is always a massive plus point. I think he'd be an upgrade overall.

Ross County fans think Iacovitti looks like a decent footballer, so Maouche will look like Pirlo in comparison.

For who? I'd rather see Barrow stay up than Southend or the Stevenage unflushables, so glad he's gone.

Does he still win his penalties with his haircut?

For how long? He's got time for another by Christmas!

Shame. I'm quite enjoying what he's doing to the fake "Latics".

Bolton will be leaving Evatt behind in Barrow tonight where they found him in the first place

Good luck to them At the level they'll be playing in the first couple of seasons, the three of them could still do a job in midfield

He's better than some of our current defenders, but that says more about our defence.

Getting sacked after 7 matches is bad, but getting dissed by our fans for his interior decoration must be a new low

Is it built on a cursed graveyard or something?
