If Not BB, Who?

[PaulP]

In some respects it's not the club that's bet the farm on the rebuild  but certain individuals within the club.
Some of those have already departed.
A new power group could easily distance themselves from that strategy.

Bolton is pretty well safe for the rest of this year.
But if things don't improve the pressure will only increase.

What would we do if it was a 'no signs of improvement' situation at the end of this year.
If replacing him is a bad option...surely sticking with him and the angst and damage in terms of division would be an equally poor option.
Hopefully the move upwards begins soon but...
At some stage the bullet would have to be bit.

As Paul suggests though  "Who would want the poison chalice?"
The likely scenario in that situation is that Bolton would not be the only casualty....rather a board challenge and a clean sweep of many positions would occur.
That challenge would bring with it a "new" probably "high profile" coach.

Bomber Thompson at Geelong, and Buckley at the Pies have already been mentioned, so no need to do it again. The end of the 2020 season is when any real discussions about Bolton should occur. Anything before that is too early IMO.
