The moves we have made are the type that fracture footy clubs.
Whispers everywhere. There will be "factions" that emerge from the rubble of this. Some pro Bolton, some anti Bolton, some anti new bloke and anti Bolton, and most will simply scoff at what we said is a united footy club.
The scorched earth approach to the list, was party born about because of these factors.
If there is a serious board challenge coming from somewhere, the time is now for these people to show their hand, but in doing so, they will hurt any attempt at recovery we have. The media stories we see about this will continue for a little while. People are still a bit shocked by what has happened and are processing it all.
Bolton when he started his thanks for the club, has inadvertently already thrown a barb at the footy club. He named personally all the people that appointed him, and who had given his opportunity to coach us.
There have been plenty of signs that we were losing faith. Remember that show "The Journey?" that stopped in 2017. At the time I chalked it down to perhaps Trigg getting dumped. Perhaps there are much bigger machinations at play than we can appreciate.
OR you can label us all conspiracy nuts. After all, the behaviour we are witnessing occur at our footy club has never happened before has it???? *sarcasm*
There won't be a challenge Thry
There is no-one out there to mount a credible challenge.
And the obstacles to do that are well in place
I doubt anyone at the level we're talking about is going to be overly concerned about the demise of Brendon Bolton.
Win tomorrow and many supporters will move on quickly.
All the current board need to do is wait patiently until the end of the season and appoint a coach to continue the 'process'
It will be someone the public respect or have confidence in getting results and the club will get kudos for it.
Sacking Bolton has just meant that process can go ahead without a lot of noise about results
