i quite like the thought of playing Bolton , before the actual season begins. lets give Doyle a right good kicking and put the bugger out of action for a few months, see how Bolton cope then. Would not normally advocate such actions , but in doyle and vaughans cases , so be it.

 

Once you get to your 50th year things become a lot clearer you become immune to disappointment and learn to expect the worst
Relax wont be long now fella

 

Thanks for those re-assuring words Steve

 

or you could embrace the fact that EFL clubs need the cash and just take the 20k for turning up

 

I hope we take the cups more seriously this year. Just threw them away last season. Carabao not the best for prize money but get a decent draw later on and chance of it being on tv which would help

 

Watch Eoin Doyle put 3 past us.

 

Awful draw

 

they are not my shining light of a well run club...….

 

Good draw team expected to be up there this season, good to rest ourselves against them. As it’s the week before the season expect both to use full strength teams for match fitness.

 

Evidence, with the team as it stands it might be slightly misguided - I accept that. But after all that has gone on the world over the past 6 months I am honestly just looking forward to having my team playing again, yeah it might all go pear shaped and that will give us all something to debate until the cows come home - but it will be our team good, bad, indifferent.....and hopefully occasionally scintillating!

 

Now there's a surprise!

 

Well, Bolton are certainly going for it but I've no idea where the money's coming from as the takeover was highly dependent on the adjoining hotel and the income it provides. Can't be much coming through at the moment. Perhaps they'll go spectacularly bust.
As far as we're concerned I see it that Rupp is honouring his promise to keep the club afloat, but only at a minimal level until he can find a buyer. Perhaps he feels he's provided good budgets in the last couple of seasons and it's got us nowhere so he has decided to do the bare minimum. Certainly looks like that looking at our transfer dealings so far. And if it is true then we'll just be treading water until he can sell, or gets fed up and pulls the plug. Either way there's no ambition or drive in the club and precious little to look forward to.

 

When we beat Wolves 3-2 to go up to the Prem, that was good, no question.

But to challenge their kids with no real hope of winning while in the fourth division? That's pride.

 

City 3 - Bolton 1
Points deducted City 0 - Bolton 12
Tight call

 

its like when Bolton played last year with lots of kids and poo players … getting dun 5 -4 nil I have the same feeling boys not negative just very realistic about our quality and players in and shipping out of possible 35-45 goals (no cash received) dem pesky kids Doylem and Frankie Vaughan,,,,,,

 

Didn't we just buy one of them?

 

So the participation fee of 20k doesn't count?
