Opinion Brendon Bolton

[Murphkreuzmitch]

No matter what happens, we need to remember that Bolts was appointed in the clubs most trying of times, he has always been gracious, never malice, has stayed true to himself and the club, and has always acted in the best interest of the footy club. Don't anyone s**t on him because of the results, he has always tried to put his best foot forward and the clubs best foot forward. Sadly I think its time to move him on, but that doesn't change the fact that he is a good man deserving of our respect.

I believe this has been driven by the playing group similar to Bulldogs 2014 with Brendan McCartney.

believe? or think?

Seems like a foregone conclusion it'll happen today now.

Now I'm just overwhelmed with a feeling of sadness for Bolts. Invested so much time trying to build something, but just couldn't find that extra spark to really make it click.

Has to happen though, unfortunately for BB the only stat that really matters is wins and losses.

Hopefully he can hang around as an assistant, but I have a feeling he'll probably want to move on.

Well he was told he would grow with the list, strip it back and build it up. I get the feeling that a new coach would come in and we will start to win and he will get all the credit and Bolts will be sitting at home knowing it was going to happen if we kept faith. I would be sad if that happened in a way.

Exactly. FMD. Don't know where the club goes from here, don't like it one bit.

The club will survive and do well regardless. The list isn't far away and a good trade period it will really improve. Unfortunately I think Bolton is the loser in this

 

[Soapy V]

I’d want to understand what’s wrong before tossing Bolton. Ie, Why is a new guy going to fix it? We seem rotten to the core, disappointed if only Bolton’s head rolls.

I don't believe there is much wrong. It's a very tough period. This is a circuit breaker

 

[LanceRomance]

I have got it... they are probably playing the Winner Takes It All by Abba.

 

[gandaal]

Bolts has been sacked

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Be happy. The clubs getting a new beginning, beginnings are positive things.

And whatever happens, we'll all be here next week, whingeing, moaning and groaning, or elated, excited and uplifted.
The joys of following a footy team

 

[COBALT BLUE]

He is gone 3/6/19
not surprised

i hope we can win a few more.......

another crisis we didnt need.....

however he was never going to cut it...

with our list we should still make it off 18 th spot in 2019

Ps it would have cost us to dump him

hope they are more selective in future

 

[mickelboy182]

If Bolton goes I will be very very disappointed and he is purely a sacrificial lamb to release the pressure. Nothing more nothing less

Or maybe, just maybe, you were wrong..

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Close the thread.

31 pages in less than 24 hours. We are a carping bunch of losers. It’s raining outside. I’m tipping 40 days and 40 nights. That’s what it will take to get people focused on something else.

 

[BlueHulk]

Sorry to clarify it's what i think.

Its official... Good luck for the future and thank you Bolts for taking on a basket case and riding through the most developmental stage in our clubs long history.

Gonnnnnnnneeeee

 

[gandaal]

I will always admire his passion, dedication, drive and desire to turn this ship around.

Thank you Bolton. Sad to see it end like this.

 

[rezzi]

Thanks Bolts. Forever will be remembered as a strong and loyal servant to the club.

 

[teknodeejay]

David Teague?

 

[The Blue Baggers]

Does anyone expect anything to happen today?

It's happening, Bolton arrived with his manager, player meeting on now !!

 

[Blue and Blue]

See ya Bolton and don't let the door hit you on the way out..

Your tenure has been an utter failure and not one Carlton supporter feels sorry for you. You've got a quality group of players that should be pressing for finals like Brisbane are yet since this rebuild has began we have gotten worse each year. If it hadn't been for the prez's unwavering support you would have gone earlier.

Its time to bring back Ratts and take our footy club back to where we belong!

Don't even go there. Trying to speak for others.
Very poor form.......

If Bolton goes I will be very very disappointed and he is purely a sacrificial lamb to release the pressure. Nothing more nothing less

You did not really believe he was going to make it did you..?

 

[COBALT BLUE]

Its official... Good luck for the future and thank you Bolts for taking on a basket case and riding through the most developmental stage in our clubs long history.

I would pay that

 

[DangerousD]

I agree all your points have merit.
But I arent sure how it relates to my post ?

Who knows, I may have started out with something in mind but must have got side tracked.

 

[dragonsblues]

Officially sacked.

I personally want to thank Bolton. He tried his guts out, blooded some youth and was able to mostly remove the culture from the dire days of Malthouse.

Football is an unforgiving business and i can see why the club has made the decision it has, but I hold no animosity to him. You can tell he gave his all and loved the club and players. He has given us 4 years of his life and we should all thank him.
