Echoing the words of one of our other members (who doesn't post much anymore), Bolton has gone onto a senior position at the most successful and ruthless club of recent times. A club with a culture that is completely foreign to Carlton, and whilst the current board and others with deep pockets continue to rule the roost, that culture will remain foreign.
It's not about the coach. Teague will benefit from the hard work done by his predecessors, and will also benefit from a more settled club, a change of focus, and the inclusion of blokes like Docherty and Williamson. Under such circumstances, a rise up the ladder is virtually a given. But we will never be more than a mid table team until the big issues above the coach are addressed.
I said it was hard....not impossible.
My issue with your argument is that almost none of it factors in how Bolton was going as a coach.
Almost everything points to past wrongs by the club.....which i agree with....but that does not make Bolton immune from the blow torch.
It is not either/or, it can be both.....and it was.
