Doesn't sound like he's seen a game for 25 years..

That's what I thought.

Never really seen him connected to Latics much in the past. Still enjoyed it though.

Now there IS a player I would have back in a heartbeat.

Dean Furman back in the North West unattached and still playing.

Mmmm, there was no window then was there.

The players would remain and the club still function.

Is this the case? Did we not have to sell players off rapidly (and cheaply) when the Moore era ended?

Another couple for Duffus.  Was never given a chance for us.

There were very mixed opinions of this fella when he was here under several managers none of whom seemed to rate him.

Let's hope he keeps scoring.

AL getting a bag of washers for a player who struggled in a pub league lately and who never ever scored a competitive goal for us is a good deal. Nevermind 40% sell-on clause and an undisclosed fee, even if the sell-on clause ends up being worthless.

There wasn't just Byrne that was unhappy with Oldham at the time, may have had something to do with the owner. 

Some posters have to make everything the owners fault when in Byrne's case it patently wasn't.

He had a great game. Getting rave reviews. 

 

If He had made it work out with us we could possibly have sold him for a wad of cash - and he doesn’t speak a word of French as far as I’m aware. 

Fixed your faux pas monsieur.

The rules about weakened teams apply if the clubs choose to select them; clearly not the case.  As for why some chose to play and some didn't you'd have to ask them.

Blood and sand are you a Bolton fan? I will just nip over to Bolton and ask the players are you sensible? Why didn't you play on Saturday?

They EFL have waived just about every rule to keep them going.

Posted this the other week. As soon as somebody say's "clearly" they are either making stuff up or have no idea what they are talking about.

You do realise this sets precedent any future club problems in the EFL?

Nonsense.  The weakened team they played was the best available, the ones who made themselves unavailable very sensibly concluded that the risk of getting injured and ruining their chances of getting a job with an employer who might actually pay them were not worth it.

If it's nonsense then why, using your explanation did the others choose to play?  Are they not sensible?

It may have been the best available BUT it is still a weakened team and therefore other clubs can be seen to be benefitting.

Has no comparison with our current situation.

Yesterday was a day when all Bolton fans were proud of their kids with their teams average age at 19, playing for their shirt and not bothered about their off the field issues..

makes you wonder, this current squad we have how many would actually play for the shirt with pride..How many players in the last few years would run through a brick wall or play through the pain barrier and try to win at all costs..Probably only Clarke in the last few years and absolutely nobody in this current team..

Aye and 5 of their team that played last  week refused to play this week due to ongoing troubles at the club.

If you want to compare at least try and find a similar situation not compare apples with pears.

The whole Bolton situation is a farce-in the past clubs used to be fined for fielding weakened teams. What happens if they survive and then sign better players? Their first two games have been weakened sides so the opposition have got easy points. Disgrace.

This is my concern as well, looks to me like they are gearing up the club staff wise and we have no assurance how this is being funded - can't believe its not just being put on "the slate" 

For this to happen would there not have to be some form of collateral or security against any loans? As the bloke only owns the team I cannot see that being acceptable, so what financial institution would lend the money? 

If not then he either has money or access to money?

No agenda here, just interested in what folks think.

I remember a kid on loan, who wouldn’t have cost the earth. He played really well for 3 months, then got injured. He didn’t have a pedigree, and it certainly wasn’t seen as a coup at the time of signing for us.  But if you wanna play with yourself over the mighty Surridge, then crack on son. 

My original reply was to your comment about quality strikers.

The rest of your ramble is for somebody else.

The FLG should retain their focus and they should have our full support in their aim. 

So it doesn't matter who is behind this FLG consortium-we must back them whatever. Try selling that to a Bury fan at the moment.

Poorly dodged the point.

Nobody mentioned pedigree just quality striker which he is. Nobody mentioned a signing coup. Sorry for you when he got injured-how remiss of him.

We had a striker once many years ago called Wayne Harrison. He did not play a lot of games for us but one thing that did stand out was that he was a quality player-subsequently proved by his Liverpool transfer. He got injured-it happens.

So whilst you want to make it personal-try answering the point we were originally debating. Quality. He was for us.

No-one came forward when Moore walked away. We went into receivership, and nearly went bust until TTA took over at the last minute, if I recall correctly.

I wasn't meaning an individual to buy the club-more a supporters starting from scratch if necessary. Again if we get to that stage  you cannot know what will happen, past events provide no guide to the future in football.

Seems ages since we had one, never kind two quality strikers.

You don't remember Surridge then? Or was he not quality?

They may not exist now but things change when you actually lose the thing that is precious to you. Until we are literally at deaths door you won't know what might happen.

Despite some postings on here I don't think we are at that stage yet.
