All of a sudden, the goal posts and KPIs changed and he was a dead man walking. The spectre of senior coaches being available also loomed over the top and played a part in his demise/dismissal, just as the spectre of Malthouse loomed over Ratts. As many have said time and time again, "rinse and repeat". It should be our slogan as its the only mantra our club truly lives by (without fail).
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.
