Jaap Stam is interested in the Fulham job apparantly.

When their team was announced on Twitter yesterday, one guy criticised it and got absolutely slaughtered. One of the responses was "I think that's the least of our problems you stupid prick"

I mean, yeah you might be fucked but you can at least still give a shit about the incompetence of the manager. It can't possibly be 100% because of the off-field stuff that a mid-table squad (on paper) is doing so so badly.

They're at the bottom because of the forwards they posess. Shola, Emile and Gary are not going to find the net too often.

Didn't have the money for anyone better.

You have to spend at least £3m for anyone remotely good enough for this division nowadays. Probably wasn't even give 3 quid.

Surely you head into the loan market before signing the fucking fossils he has up front. Even then, there are easily 3 worse squads in this division than Bolton's.

Neil Lennon is a prat and a very bad manager.

Loans are rarely free either... we are testament to that.

Bolton's squad can't be that great though, they finished last season 18th, and that was after Lennon saved them.

Definitely think their strikeforce is the main problem. Could have scored 3 or 4 past us the other week, only managing one from a soft penalty.

Got to be demoralising for their players when they play well but can't score because their strikers can't finish. And then add on that being demoralised for not even getting paid and it's just a fast track to relegation.

Bolton's strikers are shite but their defence is the problem and that's on the manager, especially when they have a few decent players in Amos, Wheater and Moxey.

They've only scored two less than us, they are where they are because they've conceded 13 more than us.

Lennon is gash.

Take back everything I have said.

FairPlay Charlton, waiting for Mourinho to become available. I expect news of Karel Fraeye's departure soonest.

What a load of bollocks. You might struggle to build a title winning team without spending money, but there are players available for nothing who are good enough to keep you in this division.

We've brought plenty of players in that have massively lifted our squad, and only 2 have cost more than £1.2m (and one of those hasn't played at all so far...)

Judge, Tarkowski, Bidwell, Button, Diagouraga, Dean, all of whom play pretty much every week for us, all cost less than £500k, some of them much less so. We got Gray for £600k, and given he's likely to fulfill a lot of the add ons we might see most of £10m for him.

I agree, if you want a "proven" Championship player, you'll probably have to pay at least £3m, but that's not a great strategy anyway unless you have lots of money to throw away.

How many of those would be willing to go to Bolton though? Who's going to voluntarily go to a club who quite publicly cannot pay its own players?

They're basically limited to those who have no other option, hence the likes of Ameobi and Madine.

That is certainly true. I wasn't saying that there are lots of players out there who want to play for Bolton, just that you don't have to pay big transfer fees to get good players.

Looks like Fulham are after our ex manager Jokanovic - got us promoted of course and really organises a team well.
