Hence why Lennon is "bigging up" the contributions of the likes of Heskey and Gudjohnsen - they're playing for Bolton for one reason only: They're cheap to employ.

And it won't be changing any time soon.

Unless the club gets sold and someone is prepared to come in and invest directly in the playing staff, which is looking increasingly unlikely.

We're going to see all the loanees return to their parent clubs, a bit of our deadwood will be culled, we'll sign a couple of gambles that few of us have heard of on loans and maybe a couple of others in the Heskey / Gudjohnsen mould (ie experienced but old and past it) and everybody will be moaning about why we didn't push the boat out to sign the likes of ALF and Bannan.

Well, the reason's quite simple: We have no money.

And we will carry on having no fucking money unless somebody invests in the squad for a promotion push next season - that is a cast iron FACT! 

Spend 5 or 6 million now... get promoted (hopefully) and get about 300 million back next season. 

its a no brainer to me.

Im starting to think Eddie has also given up and is simply trying to get as much money as possible now from us a-la Mr Oyston at Blackpool...

That feeling actually based on anything? Or just another Rebel's worst case scenario thing?

I play along with this Mavies thing as everyone bar me seems to think he's good.

Personally I think he's fecking useless, anonymous 95% of the time, but for some reason he escapes the abuse.
