Swie has the job from September....only 7 month contract tho!

Isaac, That was confidential information. Expect a D notice being served before you release any further details.

Pasty, SKD is right we have seen the problems surface over the last few weeks. And major changes are needed if we are going to survive. One pointer to the state of finances is that probably our best player of late, Liam Feeney has gone to Ipswich till the end of the season. Obviously no money to keep him. We know we are going down but without players like Feeney, how many points will we collect till the end of the season? Not many I'll bet.

Apparently, Anderson has other business to conduct. So he will probably be part time at the most. That leaves Deano to get on with the job. I just hope he's up to it

Oh, Doris, she's been seen sunbathing on a beach on the Costa Blanca while deano decides what to do with her. The first cup of tea she made for him was some herbal crap. With the herbal biscuits thrown in, he' s not sure she will fit in. Besides which he needs to save the minimum wage she's on. He's well aware it's about to go up by a massive amount in April.

It's a disatrously stupid move by a bunch of chancers who aren't interested in BWFC, only in flogging every asset they can then leaving an empty shell for the "Supporter's Trust" to take over. mark my words, this time next year we'll be in the bottom 4 of League One and there won't be a single player left who's any good or has any sale value at all.

I don't care who the new manager is, he'd be insane to take the job in the first place and he's got no chance whatsoever of doing anything but overseeing our slide even further into oblivion.

Feeney's gone, Quade's gone, Spearing (as useless as he is) can't play because we owe liverpool another 100K if he kicks another ball for us and the new owners have already asked them to "defer" that because they can't afford to pay it now.

We're screwed. Plain and simple.

I'm under no illusions. Think its going to be incredibly difficult in league one but bolton have to shed these high earners and start again. A couple of seasons in league one and rebuild. Lennon not the man for me. Shown signs for a while he has wanted out. Been sold a dud by davies and gartside but that's history. Not sure I want phil brown think steve cotterill will be good choice and he is out of work so no compo.

I'm afraid the bid was vastly underfunded. It might have been better if the FL had turned down the bid as being unsustainable.

I just wonder what they paid Lennon to walk.

Benny I think it will take longer than 2 years to sort this mess out. More like five unless Roger comes in when the whole thing falls apart.

Lennon being paid upto the end of season, whether monthly or lump sum not known. some sort of settlement package being sorted for his 2 cronies.

There's the sacking money for Neil's gang add on the super bonus for being on TV against Hull. We will soon arrive at the point of waiting for the second and final part of the initial investment.
A new manager may have to wait until the admin and overall cost cutting is dealt with and that 2nd cheque arrives.

That's magic leaving the door open to change plans to fit as the real cost of ownership comes to light not a bad thing as the FL are watching. Cut thee cloth and expectations for next season it's going to be a long slog in order to Make Money Make Money for the SS.

Reading between the lines of what we have been told over the last 24 hours and I actually think Lennon's departure maybe the first time ever that a manager leaving a club actually was by "mutual consent".

The key thing for me is the fact that Lennon was made aware of Feeney's loan deal before the decision for Neil and the club to part ways.

In my opinion Lennon has probably seen that as the new owners accepting relegation is already guaranteed, something he wasn't ever going to do until the maths said we are down.

Whatever comes next I will always feel sorry for Lennon. He was flat out lied to by the previous regime and never had a chance to put his stamp on the side with the players he would have wanted. In different circumstances he would have been a success for us in my honest opinion. One thing is for sure, by bloodied some of our youngsters, lads who have proven they can cut it at senior level, he has left us with a better legacy than his predecessors.

Thanks for all your efforts Neil.

Very well put Wf.

Lennon didn't get a fair crack of the whip and was mislead if not lied to.

The problem I have had with him these last few weeks is the substitutions coming so late in games, seemingly losing the dressing room and his team selections.

If he had been given money to spend on the squad, I don't think for one minute that we would be facing relegation on the other hand, would he have been good enough to get us promoted this season or next? I'm not sure he would.

One thing is for sure, he didn't have an easy task coping with the likes of Madine, who for me, should never have been given a contract, and of course coping with all the off field drama.
