Bolton will sink like a stone this season, mark my words. Big Sam did a fantastic job there and him leaving cost them as much as 15 points a season. Ben Haim and Abdulaye Faye were also big losses and it was always going to be a case of diminishing returns with Gary Speed, who was massively important to Bolton.
They still have some decent players but overall their squad looks a mess with a lot of nobodies in it and with personalties like Doiuff and Anelka in the dressing room you just know things aren't going to be pretty once things start to get tough.
They might have a hope if they appoint Paul Jewell but most of the other candidates simply don't have what it takes to pull them out of this mess.
Jolly Bob Grumbine.
