      Speaking at some length today to a Bolton season ticket holder who declared that we haven’t got a bad manager, nor have we got a great one……his take was that he was a good motivator especially when things were going well but couldn’t manage the ‘bad cop’ routine when required.

      Also his view was that he played good football but a fault ( which was evident at Burnley) was that he played too much football in the wrong situations (Deja vu anyone ?). He was also concerned about their fitness, but generally he thought he’d do ok for us but if and when he does get us up, that’s when we may see more of his limitations.

      To be honest I’d settle for that !!

        Somewhat underwhelmed admittedly, but will be going (as always) and hoping for the best .

        Dummy spitting and “I’m not going then” …..get over yourselves boys…..If he doesn’t work out, he’ll be flirted and without the need to shell out millions in compensation. Roll on August and let’s see where it takes us.

          Maybe, just maybe, things aren’t as rosey in reality between Bob and DW as the PR would have us believe :dry:

          I really don’t know – but the thought has crossed my mind

          What PR? There is only Whelan saying anything at all. And you should take most of what he says with a pinch of salt.[/quote]

          a pinch ?….haven’t you got a shovel in your garage Griff ? :S

            Anton, I’d keep your money in your pocket mate….if he told your ‘special contact’ who he was going to appoint in the next 20 minutes, he’d likely do a 180 degree turn within ten mins claiming he’d never heard of said candidate and in any case “he was never a big enough manager for Wigan….err whoever he was ….fetch me mi pills Elsie”

              Agreed ….forget all the tabloid dross, the “wally with the brolly” and Dutch speak etc …He knows the game and was a highly regarded coach at Man Utd ….he did a good job with Boro even if they failed to get the Champions league spot they no doubt felt entitled to !….he allowed them to fulfil their potential… whether their supporters or the press realised that or not is a different matter.

              Successful in Holland (less so in Germany admittedly) and whilst his time managing England wasn’t good at all, I’ve long thought it’s beyond anybody to get our lot playing international football with any conviction/creativity or purpose.

              He’s still a ‘name’ that could attract players from within the British or European games I would have thought.

                Heard him on the radio saying that he ‘recommended’ Everton as great club to go
                to. A 100% U turn on his claims they weren’t a big enough club. He can’t lie straight in bed this chap
                or he’s senile….or both.

                I suppose we shouldn’t mistake his total lack of any academic intelligence, for outright stupidity (as many do)…. His ruthlessness and low animal cunning have taken him 200 million dabs in front of me for a start I expect that those suggesting that the required investment I the academy and training facilities were no longer in place are on the money. However he thought he had 60 million coming in next year and now he hasn’t ….so maybe we just aren’t in a position to keep that ‘promise’ ?

                  Yeah….. There’s even the prospect of being awarded 3 or4 penalties before
                  Christmas !!
