Ian Evatt

[Moribund]

This is my thoughts, if his heads turned at every offer and we have to go through this every 6 months maybe for the best he goes and get someone committed

Totally agree with this. He’s done a great job for us,but I think his ego was starting to become an issue.

Don't talk shite. It wasn't an issue 7 days ago when we were promoted...

At the end of the day, we have to trust the gaffer, he's earned that much at least during his 2 years with us

If Bolton can't afford the compo, they won't have enough money to turn their club around. It'll cost them a lot more than a couple of hundred grand. Stay well clear IE!

+1 everyone is losing their minds off the back of transfer speculation

This forum is going to be in permanent meltdown when bigger clubs come in for players.

Life in professional football 24/7 speculation from press. People need to get used to it!

Interesting that Sky have removed the post that "Ian Evatt is expected to take over at Bolton" from their Sky Sports News Channel.

Because they fell for a fake tweet that’s why

I find this crazy he would be far better off in the long run if he stayed with Barrow for next season, get the team doing what they did in the National league then he could get an even better club, Bolton will struggle financially in 20/21, also he has a wife that has a very good job so he is not exactly going to be struggling with cash, disappointed with what's going on.

Exactly. The whole reason we offered Scott Quigley a 3-year deal was because Evatt expected to make some decent money in him when it comes to selling him.

Still confident he will stay?

Good to know that fans of other clubs have seen FVs books and are experts on our finances, they are not baulking at the compo in any way shape or form, so all these comments on our finances are absolutely ridiculous.

This is the second time he has the option to leave.
First one was Fylde and he negotiated a better pay rise but with that came a buy out clause one he may now be regretting.
The clause will help us either way,he goes we get cash,if Bolton cannot raise the cash he stays and it will be a eye opener to him that all that glitters is not gold.
He may have been a good player but he is still learning about Management and dealing with Club Directors unlike the ones we have at Barrow.

Sorry mate, but you /we don't know if he has any option or not - it's all press /internet speculation at the moment. As of yet we do not know the facts.

[Bradders]

If Bolton pay the compo then he has the “option” to leave. Simple stuff really. He had the option last time when he allegedly shook haythornethwaites hand. I’ve seen somebody suggest he should leave if he isn’t going to rule out transfer speculation. That’s like grilling your mrs every time she goes out just because she’s a stunner.
Everyone needs to calm down he’s probably pretty busy right now turning our merry band of men into a football league squad capable of two games a week for the entirety of the season.

You'll be telling that to at least 50% of your own forum contributors then?

Correct and the silence is deafening like the speculation was over Fylde till he was accussed of renaging on taking the job.
Its a good bargining tool now Bolton after pay up or shut up.
