Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Bolton Wanderers

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market

Bruno Godeau puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bolton Wanderers, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Richard Taylor: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Bolton Wanderers have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at Bolton Wanderers

Myles Lewis-Skelly was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Oliver Smith signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Oliver Smith and Bolton Wanderers agree another 4 years.

Loan watch

Shedrach Ebite counts the days

“I watch every Bolton Wanderers game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Toulouse FC runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
