Took them from a struggling league 2 side, to a league one promotion candidate. Had a couple of close misses. Won them a Wembley trophy. 50 percent win rate. What he's like as a person....But his achievements can't be overlooked. Talk about his budget is all guess work. Nobody knows. We aren't on the Bolton board and transfer fees are all undisclosed nowadays. He made decent Football players of a couple of guys who were useless with us.
Just based on Transfermarket website , shows only Schon at 940k rest free or ? not always 100% accurate but should give an indicator.
Well, it shows how much I know. I’m genuinely surprised they’ve pulled the trigger. And I say that as someone who found him unpleasant to be around when we came up against them over the last few years. But that’s the thing isn’t it. We are merely outsiders looking in. I’m sure most outsiders saw our dismissal of Neill last year as mental. I did myself..
They were Evatt's own words in the Bolton Chronicle....perhaps he didn't get the players, but that's what he had available to pay. They pay big wages too for free transfers, apparently Scott Arfield is on £13k pw.
Don’t doubt he said it. Surprised at the wages TBH but I’m not an expert on their finances so could be true. Point I was trying to make was some where suggesting he has had a huge budget compared to others which there is nothing to suggest that it is anymore than others in the top 10.
The Bolton local news reported that they paid 1.2m for mcatee. how’s your first day of unemployment Ian?
Got a link this local paper clearly says undisclosed?? https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/24509056.john-mcatees-first-words-joining-bolton-wanderers/
£1.2 million doesn't sound unreasonable, considering Evatt said he had made several million plus bids...to get him they had to outbid Portsmouth (definitely) and Derby, Blackburn & Millwall ( allegedly).
Maybe but can’t see it for a player with his limited experience/record. Rated at £300k on Transfer mkt though. Seen the article you spoke of and it seemed to be referring to players in Euros/Europe.
