My humble, most grovelling apologies, therefore, to the OSIB team. It took a long time for it not to be shite so you were probably right to not listen at the beginning!

Amazing the number of times that as he got himself into a position to receive the ball that he “accidentally” stood on his markers’ toe at the first throw in.. Just a top professional, he brought so much to the squad, Christ. It’s @GrahamC welcome back mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 It’s a great listen this one. No matter who’s talking you always get the impression we just didn’t capitalize on the Cottrell promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 14 minutes ago, JonDolman said: Tomlin comes across as a horrible player to have around at the club. To get our money back was quite incredible. I could never work out why LJ did not drop him sooner. Fighting against relegation and having a player who was fat and lazy playing behind an 18 year old who clearly needed some support up there with him. Never gonna get that from Tomin was he! It's interesting what Wilbs says about Cotts. Letting himself get frustrated and in a bad mood during the 2 week preseason tour. I would have thought he would have kept a positive attitude in training. We certainly did not look like a happy, confident side that had just won league one when we kicked off the season. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it, but it would hardly not seem ideal to be like that when building up to the start of the season. I remember a post match interview from Cotts during that pre-season after we'd just lost somewhere, think it was Yeovil, and he was clearly fuming at what had been going on (or not), so much so that the interviewer picked up on it.

Red Skin Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 What a great professional Albie is. Fantastic example to any young professional. I do feel his desire to become an agent - good luck to him - meant he was slightly guarded in some of his answers. Can't fault him for that really. Smart fella.

It’s certainly an interesting episode of the clubs history. Ultimately it appears he just didn’t fit Steve Lansdown’s vision. I can appreciate that, in the sense of just ending up in an expensive managerial merry go round. However I wonder if he thought the following 4 years would play out as they have?

One Team Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Brilliant interview and what a pro! Backs up what of much has been said on here about Cotts not being backed, Tomlin being toxic, LJ being weak with him etc. Hard to believe Milan D was on twice his wages!

brady bunch Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Looking forward to it, I like many regret Cotts not being backed more and given more time. but I do remember him acting up at the start of that season and his frustration with us missing out on the striker (forget his name!) that ended up going to Burnley (they went up and we did not, so Cotts was almost certainly right, but not right to act the way he did). If it came down to keep Cotts or S Lansdown (even if it meant missing out on prem) its no contest, SL is laying down firm foundations that will last and improve BCFC for the next 50 plus years, managers always come and go...

Mr X Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Although it is a City focused podcast it would have been interesting to have heard a bit more from Wilbraham about his time at Bolton as it was an absolute shambles of a club behind the scenes at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddrive Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 What a great interview. First one of these that I have listened to, but will now go back as listen to some others. Well done and thanks. Really enjoyed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingbat Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Really good interview. Those 2 hours flew by. Well done all involved. Would love to see Wilbs down here in some sort of coaching capacity, but doesn't sound like he wants to go in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
