Quite right, but for the level we're at, I'd consider us mega rich for this league.
So are Pompey and have richer owners than Bolton but have still not got out of Division 1 in the 3 seasons under the new owners so I wouldn't be so sure!

Bolton aren't "mega rich". There is a reason you've signed up a director of football whose biggest achievement is getting Macclesfield a new broadband deal or something. Salford are mega rich, but it means very little at this level if you're going to stick to FFP rules.

Where did I say we were mega rich?, we're not, but for this level and for more than 2 thirds of clubs in this league we are.

Literally in the post I responded to, you dunce. So what you mean is, your budget will be in the top 8 at League 2 level? Mansfield (and I suppose Salford) are proof that means nowt.

Hmm, a recorded interview in which he was pointedly NOT asked about any interest from other clubs. Although IE did allude to the fact that success will attract admirers.
It all comes 'round again.

Evo did sound a bit subdued, a lot of interviewing, we’ll just have to see how this unfolds.

Evo sounded absolutely knackered. Think the interviews are now getting a bit "samey". Will be good to start focusing on the EFL.

This speculative bullshit about us having no money is beginning to wear thin, it's wishful thinking from tiny clubs that are trying to wind us up, it ain't working.
Then surely you can understand why we get all tetchy when your lot are coming on here banging on that's it's a done deal etc

We are a bloody long time suffering & our perfect storm needs to continue for at least 1 more season, We have enough work to do getting the infrastructure on & off the field right for the EFL & don't need the Gaffer/Team unsettling or god forbid we have to find a replacement & can't bring players in until we do.

They had Paul Hornby on early on who said he and Evatt were having a good laugh on the phone last night about the numerous clubs Evatt has been linked with-basically reading between the lines-he aint going anywhere yet and he's going to have a good shot at league two this season with Barrow.
This supposed Bolton fan is from around here, take no bloody notice-he is someone with a chip on his shoulder.

We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Your Chairman now spitting his dummy, and getting all angry about golden handcuffs, lol, sounds a desperate man the way he came across.
