It is a sad day that after 11 years of Premiership football we have been relegated, but I have found it a lot easier to take this time round because we are just so crap, we have a crap manager, we have so many crap players, we have had so little to cheer about. We have seen some of the worst performances from a Bolton team for years and years, we have had some absolute drubbings, we lost 13 of our first 16 games. We lost at home to the likes of Fulham, Wigan, Villa, Sunderland, Newcastle, Norwich, etc. I just didn't feel we deserved to stay up.
Coyle didn't even look that arsed when it was over.
We got what we deserved over the season. Coyle should have been sacked many, many months ago.
To be honest though I am relieved we are down. I mean could you have taken much more of this absolute crap we have seen over recent seasons? We would have been even worse next season with so many players going and not much money to replace them, I had grown tired of seeing us getting drubbed by 4, 5 or 6 goals against the big teams. I had grown tired of seeing us lose so often. Amazing stat - over the last 5 seasons - 190 league games we lost exactly 50% of them (85 defeats).
Maybe it will be a bit more exciting in the Championship. At least relegation will see a lot of the higher earners who did so little to earn the huge money they were earning leave. If we can keep Chung Yung Lee and Holden I am sure with the like of NRC, Wheater, Bogdan, Ream, Sordell, Vela, Mark Davies, etc that we can have a really good season. Maybe then when we do get back to the Premiership we'll be re-vitalised and give teams a run for their money again.
Next season should be fun, don't be sad.
