Tony Kelly, I know you're employed by the club but FFS!!!!

As you are no doubt aware, Tony Kelly is the fan's liasion officer at Bolton Wanderers and is also the 34th greatest player to don a Bolton shirt. However, this was voted for in 2005 and if there was a vote today, it is doubtful if he would now make the top 100. Not because it is now 15 years since he put that shirt on, but because he puts out the most monumental rubbish in his Bolton News column. (I'd say worse, but this is a family show)

Under the banner headline, Wanderers Will Bounce Back he quoth,regarding the start to the season:

"....getting on the manager’s back won’t help the situation"

He then goes on to argue the complete opposite, stating that a siege mentality can galvanise the players. Does anybody at the paper actually copy read this gubbins.

Further down the article he states that:

"It’s no use getting on the manager’s back, though. Once they cross that white line it’s down to the players"

Herein it shows that Tony, fans liasion officer notwithstanding, has no idea of how the fans feel or, if he does, he is not showing it until the GSO goes. It will be interesting to see what he says then. Maybe it would be better if the club's voice kept shtumm for a couple of weeks.


While we're having our sometime daily pop at the former BEN and the GSO, I personally could not care less that he sympathises with the Australian cricket team. Somehow, SOMEHOW, he has tried to draw parallels between T'Wanderers result at Hull with Australia losing the ashes. Here we pick this argument apart:
1. The Australians respect their cricketers and feel that they have a good leader.
2. The Australians are regular winners and, indeed, have won this summer.
3. All 11 Australian cricketers who take the field are talented individuals who know their job.
4. Australia's captain is magnaminous in defeat and never, NEVER, calls his teams abilities into question.
5. When things are going wrong, Ponting has the ability to change his tactics.

To paraphrase Henry II, "Who will rid me of this turbulent manager".

Expect Fat Mike to score tonight. No need to watch.
