Evatt is continuing where he left off at Barrow but with a far better squad of player's, sticking by him when their fans were baying for his blood was a masterstroke.

Even David Dunn would take them up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal ability, environment, spending wisely etc. Salford seem a bit trigger happy these days (seemingly opposite to Neville’s punditry view). Bolton could have got rid but didn’t, paying off now.

It'll cost em a whole lot more if they don't go up and recoup the outlay Evatt has already proved himself to be an excellent manager at the previous level and this, very soon he'll get to try League one. The board at Bolton could have make the very same mistakes made here but they didn't and you can throw as much cash at that as you so wish.

We’ll see how good he is soon enough. Well also see how patient the owners, who need to start generating serious income sharpish, are too.

Personally, I am always confused and torn between the “not a pot to piss in” lads and the “paying Menig 15k per week” lads (or whatever it was). Anyway, I’m not sure why this ‘whataboutery’ is relevant. I was merely pointing out Bolton spend cash like water and have for 20 years. Not every conversation needs to be about/include us.

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.

All I can say to that one is, I wish we'd of even had the opportunity but I guess that comes down to size and stature plus the ambition to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
