Top of the league Bolton welcome the cod army 8th in the league to the macron for a 3 pm kick off hoping for 3 more points to maintain the only perfect record in the football league. Also at stake is a win will mean the best start to a season for 82 years so absolutely no pressure at all today then . Team news. Pratters is out long term, Clayton out for another week with a swollen knee, proctor has a tight hamstring may not be risked, c. Taylor and beevers carrying knocks, dervite and derik training but not fit to start. Predicting a draw. Likely line up. Howard, Buxton, wheater, beevers, moxey. Vela, spearing, trotter, Davies. Clough, madine.

Did you spot it the Beano's 'Wanderers boss Parkinson waits on Premier League loans' tale is an edit of the earlier 'Whites Plot an end Game' tale
Obviously Marc is slipping and been told to rehash and spice up the earlier story and throw in the old 2 premiership players after he missed out by offering me half a cup of dried black peas in a shoddy attempt to trump the Mail's which was of course accepted I'm looking forward to my F&M package arriving in a couple of days.

This mornings headline before he changes it like yesterday.
'Wanderers insist they are looking to recruit not sell before transfer deadline'
Somebody hasn't thought about that headline as it is missing the important embargo caveat perhaps this
'Wanderers looking to release or loan out players before selling' would have been more appropriate.

Something to smile about.
Amos on the verge of leaving on loan to Cardiff. He's on a long contract so let's hope he plays and somebody eventually pays a few beans for him.
Just remind our boys to shoot from outside the box if we get them in the fa cup.

Don't help with the one in one out. No use signing a striker and only having one keeper.

Don't panic the chance to lose Amos is a start by saving by some money. Times are still hard the juggling goes on but with a bit of luck Amos will be nowhere near any juggling.

Benny you know Max and Zach are already out for Charlton before you do the match thingy not much chance of either of those two going before the windows shuts then.
We'll need a repick of who could be loaned sold or released.

A strange transfer policy. Alex Finney has signed for Leicester and Bolton have not received a penny from them. Effectively given away. Finney made way for Andrew Taylor who has not been seen since a brief appearance at Wimbledon as sub. Meanwhile Bolton are looking to sign a centre half as well as a striker. Explain someone

It's back to the root of all evil Benny
Money makes the world go round and just about keeps the Wanderers ticking over the FL are keep us on a tight lease knowing we are operating in a precarious position.
Finney and others were sacrificed so PP could move the squad around bit by bit with the sole aim of giving PP a squad he is happy with to prevent relegation and finish as high as possible while keeping within the FL ruling and slowly slowly reducing the wage bill while other costs are taken out of the business by the management who are also trying to improve on money coming in from other areas it’s a gamble hoping we have a team at the end capable of keeping us up and not doing too bad and within budget while keeping the FL happy.
The pay back of changes may take years to come through before we see real money being spent on players. There's still a long way to go yet.
What we need is to strike gold in more ways than one. A buyer with money to invest. A promotion would go a long way towards improving finances and making us look more attractive to such a buyer. While we piddle about juggling there's also an outside chance we may fall upon a player we sell for a large profit.
Up until now all the decisions of who goes or stays and how things are juggled to allow a player to come in are being made in PP's early days so he'll be going on his initial instincts and advice from others. Mistakes will be made until such time as PP knows everybody in detail but then who is to say he and his backroom have an eye to spot a young Messi we may have let a future superstar go already time will tell which may answer your original question.
Keep your eye on the Jugglers and hope the team keep winning we need to get out of league 1 to be able to really sort the finances out and attract investors with suitable wealth at hand to invest
We are just like any business which has suffered neglect over many years and is losing money. Costs have to be taken out of the business to keep it going but you have to ensure the product maintains its quality and saleability before you lose all your customers if that happens you will probably go under. K&D came in at a point when they thought they had the knowledge and money to stop us going under to turn us around sell us on for a healthy profit or hit lucky to be able to reap the rewards for themselves of life in the PL.
Remember Deano Makes Your Money Make Money. Ken&Co bought into this low risk high gain gamble only staking what they could afford to lose if it fails.

Re the above
Keep an eye on Alonso if he signs for Chelsea it gives you an idea how long it could be before we see what mistakes have been made recently.
