The AFL take away your Friday nights and you become Sunday game failures, sponsors get harder to get and the board get nervous and want change. Bolton will get another season but it wouldnt want to be a repeat of how this one has started, it will be interesting how panicked the club is and how we draft either more kids on mass or messiah drafting where we chase hard and pay overs for big names.
Facts are the rebuild hasnt gone the way we planned, either we have gone backwards or other clubs like North have taken big steps forward, I'm going with the latter and that puts the coach in the cross hairs along with his assistants....I'd expect some big changes to Boltons support team next season and a cleanout of his assistants...
Yes I tend to agree. BB and his assistants have probably got this year to show something but this board appointed him and it would be very reluctant in the immediate term to admit they got it wrong. I think there could possibly be an attempted face-saver e'g' a Roos-like figure appointed at some stage as "Director of Coaching" or some such title but in reality he would be a full time mentor for BB. Whether BB would cop that is open to question of course.
Reality always wins in the end.
