Bolton Wanderers- back from the brink (Part 1.)

Posted: 26 Oct 2020 04:32 PM PDT

It's February 2024. Over 8,000 Bolton fans sit, cold and miserable in a damaged and dirty stadium, watching their team lose to Harrogate. It means they've now gone 12 league games without victory, and that they sit 21st in the Vanarama National, some points off safety.

The club itself is over four million pounds into it's overdraft, and has a total of £15M in loans it needs to pay off. How it could do that, no one knows. The situation isn't helped by paying the compensation fee of the manager who's just been sacked, with relegation and an end to Bolton's professional status looming. As Bolton fans trudged home that night- a few deep down perhaps wishing they had been raised just a few miles away, as Man United fans, the reigning champions of England and Europe- they wondered who would accept the poisoned chalice of the manager job- would this one be a fool, or incompetent?

Later that very night, rumours began to spread like wildfire on Bolton Twitter. Strange rumours. It seemed that the manager of Newcastle United who had been known for his spells at Everton and Fulham, working for several years in the PL, had asked if he could take over the Bolton job. He was prepared to resign, and waive his compensation fee, in order to get the job. He took a wage cut of 95%, and two days later started at Bolton.

Needless to say, his first press conference was a strange one indeed. Hoardes of journalists not seen since Bolton's Prem era flocked to the University of Bolton Stadium, to ask one question. "Why?". The answer was, that this eccentric manager was "bored" at St. James Park. He cited a lack of ambition, and a lack of investment. When asked whether he would spend his entire career coaching in the lower leagues, he said no. He'd have Bolton back where they belonged in five years. That statement drew audible, incredulous laughter.

The reality is though, that this manager was the first optimist about Bolton in years. Where some saw a lack of money and senior players, he saw an oppurtunity to develop and play youth. The facilities were good, by far the best in the league. 8000+ supporters meant that Bolton had by far more fans than anyone in the league. Where some saw a fallen giant, he saw the chance for the biggest, strangest, comeback story ever. And everyone loves a comeback.

The rest of the season, 10 games or so, was pleasing, if not spectacular. A win rate of around 40%, a squad average age of 20, and the emergence of 19 year old Dylan Beale with him scoring 10 goals in 12 games, was enough to pull Bolton to a comfortable 16th. Over 11,000 people came to watch Bolton play York at home on the last day of the season. There was just a little inkling of hope, seeping back into those minds of the supporters, so used to loss and hardship.

To be continued?
