I can see Bruno getting the West Brom job permanently otherwise would be a good shout

 

Well we certainly wouldn’t be leaking goals if Bruno was in charge, lovely man as well.

 

So you’d rather a manager who plays entertaining football (like McCall) who didn’t get us up, compared to a Parky/Grayson pragmatic manager who has proven promotion ability.

You’d be the first to complain if we finished 7th scoring 100 goals and conceding 98.

 

The excuses just come from you. It's embarrassing.

Why would we need to cut back? The owners haven't spent anything.

Why don't the owners spend some money to drive the club forward.

Thanks for posting this link. His next conversation with Edin Rahic will be interesting.

 

Like the way the man talks. Hope that he's with us next season and beyond.

 

His Preston team didn't look bad when they stuffed us 3-0 at VP.

 

I’d be happy to and I know a few others that would too. Some of us have renewed (at the figure set by the club) AND added one of the Membership packages. The issue is that we only have around 7-8k core fans that WOULD pay the higher amount. But we’d lose the remaining ‘floating’ fans we have brought with us.

Swings and roundabouts. And let’s face it, wouldn’t we want the same income from 14k gates than we would from just 8k...? The atmosphere would be awful in a 25k seater stadium

 

Entertaining and McCall only thing that was entertaing was his comical substitutions

 

First of all Mr Wum, I haven’t mentioned whether I want him to stay or not. This was never about that. You asked about his style of football and I responded to that.

If you want to be blinkered as to why we are where we are, that’s fine. But can you go do it on Facebook with the other argumentative posters or better still, on that Cow’sArse site

 

Good thing he didn't go home yesterday then!

 

Luckily we can release the majority of the dross brought in this season. McCarten and Reeves have shown (in small parts), potential to be half decent squad players so I wouldn’t rip up their contracts just yet. Blackburn still had championship players so adding Dack made sense. If we’d have brought him here, with the calibre if players in our side we’d probably still be in league 1 next season, with a player on a reputed £11k a week.

 

And that's the difference. We could buy players for £750k but won't (and rightly so) pay £11k a week in wages.

 

Grayson, Parky style football will only get you so far. It's no shock that Bolton are now struggling. Goals win football matches and the best way to do that is attack.

 

TBF to Grayson, our pitch isn’t conducive to playing attacking, entertaining football on the deck. Especially when the players are already looking like being frightened to death, without a ‘bobble’ making them look a pub player.

 

Clearly you haven't watched a Grayson team before he joined Bradford.

Grayson doesn't play attacking football. His football is dire.

 

Here's a thought

Here's a thought.

1. Owners to put more money on the table.
2. Supporters to put more money on the table.

Let's say raise the price of STs to £300. Assuming 15000 STs that is an extra £1.95m in the kitty.

Are our supporters prepared to put their hand in their pockets?

I am but generally I doubt it. It is with a few exceptions NEVER mentioned in any posts,

Maybe we take a gamble on someone less experienced. Craig Bellamy ha completed his badges and almost took the Oxford job. He’s intelligent and well spoken and I imagine plays attacking football. Darren Moore as mentioned previously, Paul Scholes, Sol Campbell are all part of the new generation of potential managers looking for work. Are they worth a gamble?

If not, then Grayson is as good as it gets if you’re looking for experience.
