Bolton 0-4 Huddersfield The sort of result that can get a manager sacked. I'm sure Challinor would be on their wishlist. Evatt had lost many fans even before this result, now they're in relegation spots I don't see him lasting much longer Edit - especially when your players are doing this.... He knows it's over.

So are Bolton! Be very surprised if they are up there this season after that display, DC won't go anywhere near that circus

The standard of football that awaits us if we achieve the 7 year plan.

Bolton worries me a bit. Assuming Evatt is out, it is of course a big enough job to tempt someone like Challinor. Whether he’d want it is a different question, but they’re a club with PL potential. They’ll be attractive to a lot of people.

Don’t necessarily disagree, but in what way is it not a good job? They’re a big club at this level, with a good budget and good squad. It’s an attractive proposition. No different to Charlton in that respect. I don’t think we need to be cagey. We’re attractive too. There’ll always be good jobs for people to (potentially) look at.

It’s of course a good job, but there’s very little between us and Bolton at the moment.
It’s pretty conceivable to see us finishing above them this year and we have similar budgets.
I’d be amazed if he left us for any league 1 club.

Most of that thread is from May before we got him back and most of it is them saying he’s not good enough.

I can't see DC looking at anything at the same level as we're at until it becomes clear we're levelling out; our immediate ambitions aren't that different from Bolton's and right now we're looking more likely to achieve them than they are.

I’d be amazed if he left us for any league 1 club. More often than not, a manager goes to a club that doesn't look good, because the previous manager has been sacked. Bolton look a mess on the pitch and they've clearly had their issues off it, but I'm not sure the latter is such a big thing now and they've clearly expected to be at least a division above for a season or two. As BWScarf says, you'd also think they're planning to get back to the PL. Challinor seems to me to be ambitious, which is clearly a good thing for us whilst he's here, but that does mean that somewhere that could offer more than us is going to be tempting. As for the squad, I've no idea if they're woefully underperforming or just not good enough anyway. I get the impression it's the former, which would mean any manager who rates themselves is going to fancy getting much better results than Evatt is clearly doing at the minute. I'm not saying I think DC will definitely go. I am saying I think they're definitely enough of a prospect (and geographically well located) for them to be a worry.

I’d be amazed if he left us for any league 1 club. At best its a sideways move that might or might not increase his bank balance. All Bolton have to offer over us is a bigger ground and a more famous past with a larger fanbase with bigger expectations than most of us. He,s not being paid peanuts by us so why move anyway as another league 1 club on his CV aint going to help his career unless you are a club snob where a team from the past is more important than one with a future. However being a nation of snobs you could understand someone making a move like that as many car owners would buy a merc over say a honda even if there is nothing to choose in comfort or performance to pay more for a badge.
