    Robinson still causes defenders problems, he's awkward, niggling and very direct.
    No guarantee with any player but he does have bags of experience.

    Seems Bolton are getting Evatt and his backroom team in from Barrow. Quarter of a million compo was the rumour they would have to pay. Maybe that’s been lowered?

    Strange move by Evatt if true and a bit of a way down from the stellar appointment they were talking about only 2 weeks ago. Hope he's checked their finances.

    I thought the same but if they have sorted the finances out it’s a big club with a good stadium etc. But a lot of work to do.
    Better than Bowyer you’d have thought

    Bolton are a big club on hard times but they have massive potential and will come good

    Bolton have always been a much bigger club than us

    I wouldn't be too sure on that Park. As to Evatt it seems there are issues on compo and his assistant Peter Atherton who Barrow want to stay.
    Bolton fans flooded the local paper seem less than impressed.

    Hardly a strange move. He's moving to a much bigger club, with premier league facilities. Sure they're under an embargo this season but the new owners clearly aren't afraid to splash the cash if they're spending 250k on his services.

    He's a young manager, playing a good brand of football and has just won the league title in his second season as a manager so all round I think it's a good appointment for Bolton.

    Matty Foulds, young Everton CB released. Thought highly by them a couple of years ago. Paid a decent sum to Bury.

    Local boy, Ex City youth. Could be one to take a look at.

    We already have 5 who can play CB, so cannot see us being in the market for another

    I'd swap all 5 for one that's any good though.

    So you dont pay your debts,you get kid glove treatment from the EFL for not playing matches,but you can fork out a quarter of a million in compo for a manager with no league managemant experience.The whole thing at Bolton stinks.

    To be fair they do have new owners but I get your point.

    Bolton in one move show they're more ambitious than us. If they have 250k to spend to get a manager then I expect them to be busy in the transfer market.

    It's a £250k gamble as with any managerial appointment, he's done well so far in his short career but as you know there are no guarantees.

    Maybe with that much available they should pay back to the local companies nearly bankrupted by their refusal to pay debts ?. A shithouse of a club and rule breakers to boot . Ambitious ?, are they a good role model for Ambition ?.
