Ridiculous overreaction. If it was happening this time last year people would have said good luck to him. It's only the fact that this is happening after he has brought us success that means people have to get all butthurt about it. I'm not saying loyalty doesn't count for anything but do people really expect managers to sacrifice opportunities to further their careers in order to keep fans happy. They are always going to put their careers first. All managers will.

Or do we have a manager whose agent wants him to go?

How can anyone especially Ian Evett know whether he wants to be the next Bolton Manager until he speaks to them and finds out what they're offering and on this occasion what the constraints of the embargo and financial situation of not just the club but FV.s and indeed the individual directors etc will be right now.

It's all right his agent meeting them and ringing IE and saying it's a great opportunity Ian lets do it after all his motivation is purely one of cash but what's to say when IE looks at it and sees what the embargo will mean and asks about the black hole in the finances caused by the pandemic he won't just say [SwearFilter] that for a game of soldiers.

So I think some of you need to learn the difference between him wanting to speak to them and definitely wanting to take the job and that's before you throw into the mix any demands that he might have such as not being willing to work with a director of football or whatever title this Tobias Pheonix character has he could well make demands of them that they're not willing to concede on.

I think you'd have to be extremely naive to think that Evatt hasn't had some sort of communication with Bolton and know exactly what they're offering him before this whole saga became public.
