Have we announced our new manager Mads Blumveld yet?

Yes, they could have been even worse, but that's not exactly going to win them a Nobel Peace Prize.

Regarding the second point, I have not seen a single person say the club did not want to be successful, or deliberately chase relegation to get Blooms out the door. They were always still going to try and make good signings no matter what - I genuinely believe the Ricicles want the club to be successful. I just have questions over their character and judgment in how they have handled things so far, but if we get promoted anyway, who's to argue about the latter, I suppose?

Yup. Definitely hit in the feels

My broader point was that we’ve never been so well backed. Gareth must be gutted on some level. He shopped in the bargain basement for years. And the new owners backed Matt to the hilt with his signings and he delivered.

The Morley issue is complex. We may want him more than anything. Bolton have cash and Bolton have the player under contract. They hold the cards, depriving what they perceive to be rival of a superb player. Might be nothing anyone can do. At the moment of course. Still time.

Give it up @Shev

Same people saying same things.

Well in that case we may as well put a contract extension on the table now then. If Joe accepts the contract then that would be superb but should he reject it, which I suspect he would at the moment, then we would be covered as per @Otter87 explanation.

In the top ten of British greats. Arm raised straight when he scored.

Are we? Maybe the offer has not been good enough.

If there is any hint of that I would encourage Matt to follow that path. Indeed even if he had quit he could have taken that path.

But of all the things people have suggested has happened but hasn’t happened, I suspect this hasn’t happened the most.

i mean, if you really want to come up with scenarios that weren’t anywhere near happening, technically speaking Dan could have gone done the redundancy route by declaring there will be no role as a First Team Manager anymore so that role is defunct, and put a Head coach role in instead.

Kodua has done enough to earn a start over McCleary I reckon. Fred will probably keep his place but seriously needs to pull his finger out. If Anders is fit, he should start.
