Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
I don’t sense that Evatt is a compliant character. He’s a taskmaster and his persona is one of ‘the boss’ as opposed to the loveable coach.
Rice is the top dog now whether folk like that or not. I sense the next ‘head coach’ will be just that. Someone passionate about coaching, improving and getting the best out of the players at his disposal.
Rice or ‘Danuard’ will make all the plays outside of that. So these old school management names are just for bookies to win a few quid.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
So we still don’t have a manager, but at least we still have a Gasroom. Not sure which one I woke up more concerned about.
Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
i was agreeing with you, its a lie that people are saying he said transfers are all on the board, he says its a with the director him and the recruitment team
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
I for one would be quite happy to pay £5 per month to ensure the continued existence of the Gasroom, as a contribution towards the running costs. As others have said, this is 100x better than any other EFL club's forum.
If we got, say 100 regulars paying that figure, the £500 monthly should easily more than cover the cost, and any surplus could then be used to perhaps fund an annual summer meet up at a bar in West London, where members could chat face to face.
Although the discussions have gone off the rails in recent weeks, I'm sure that when the team get back to winning ways under a quality Manager / Head Coach, normal service will be resumed. Meanwhile, @drcongo , please don't go, we need you.
Re: Man of the Match - Northampton (H)
Agree about Bradley’s performance, a good old fashioned battle with Eaves in which our man came out on top. Noticeable that Eaves was switched to go up against Low in the second half. Of all the recent new arrivals Bradley has attracted the least attention but I think he’s been excellent in every game.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Let's all get behind SG and the team tomorrow night, and hope for some news of a new Head Coach before the end of the week.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
If MB had stuck around and gotten us promotion then the honeymoon would have continued for a bit longer. But it was always going to end in tears for some (most?) people eventually. Lommy seemingly wanting us to be a Premier League team will bring enough problems for the 'family club' supporters who won't like a new stadium near a motorway and thousands of tourists and 'daytrippers' turning up. But then there's the whole 'Kazakhstan' concept and what it will actually mean. We become Astana's feeder club? Half the squad go missing for World Cup qualifiers? I have no idea but being a little club in the Chilterns and an international powerhouse is going to cause some problems.
I'd guess that if the lads who had a kickaround in 1887 could somehow visit Adams Park they'd shit their breeches at seeing how things have developed. But that's change lads. Do you want to be like Wycombe Nose Club? DO YOU?
I've been sitting here for ten minutes thinking how to end this post but I have no idea what the future is going to be. Emotional, I suppose.
Re: Birmingham away
The final choices for games and times shown on Sky are 4 weeks in advance of those games (rolling every week to the end of the season).
Therefore we will know this Saturday if it is being shown on Sky (pending game movement due to FA cup).
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Ha, sorry about that Malone, I really wasn’t trying to wind you up about Evatt because although the majority wanted him gone we were equally sorry it came to that. We really wanted him to succeed. Naturally all managers are judged solely on what we see on the field but actually Evatt has done an incredible job behind the scenes too. The training ground the back room staff, the fan zone and many other improvements have actually been led by Evatt from the crumbling mess we were after administration when Sharon came in with her investors. I’m sure he’d do the same for another club and I genuinely hope he does because we owe him a lot. Why we use Sharon’s first name I don’t know, it just stuck and possibly because nobody knew the correct spelling of her surname Brittan? Anyway, I just hope whoever you get as manager he does you proud because like most Bolton fans we’d genuinely love you to do well. I can’t see us challenging you for the automatics but hopefully with our new man in place we can at least make the top six and ±with a bit of luck see both of us in the Championship next year.
