As a loyal bolton fan, i have sympathy for him, hes tried his best and done well considering the situation, kept us up for a few seasons, reached the final 16 in the uefa cup, brought in some decent players considering the board doesnt have much money, has had to get rid of a lot of players. He has made some bad signings like elmander but cahill, taylor and steinsson and klasnic are under achieving.
Even before he managed a game, the bolton fans have not liked him, in one of the uefa cup games he was booed just for being in the ground.
I think hes done well considering he is not appreciated at all. IMO hes lasted quite long considering. How many managers have put up with as much abuse as him? It had to come an end sometime, the abuse couldnt have carried on, its not good for the players him or anyone else.
What ever manager they get in, they can only do so much with the limited funds from the board and the money making the board likes to do.
The one thing that the fans need to do which is vital is to get behind the manager and support him through whatever!!!!
