Well I respect Doug f, can't say he's a glory hunter!!

I agree not to make it too personal or abusive but personally I'm happy with a bit of banter and ribbing if our fortune continues and Bolton's don't. I don't agree with any abuse when he returns to SP. Maybe something telling him how sh1t Bolton are but DF came in with Paul Hart and then in the Summer of 2010 did loads behind the scenes. I got really frustrated with some of his holding back and his limitations, only for him to leave when a cash richer club came, even though it didn't have to be that way if he argued it enough.

He went too early and said things for a while and 2 days before leaving that contradict what he ended up doing. For that he deserves some flack. That's football, but I wouldn't take it too far. He gave the trust money in admin I and did above the expected in the 2nd.

The Bolton fansite, commenting on their 2-1 loss to Middlesborough, is saying: Let's hope the new manager is a miracle worker.

So far as we were concerned, Dougie could walk on water. Let's hope this time he falls in.

Very well written ! and now I have calmed down some what and still beleive something went on we have not been told, I agree.

"Palace have got the right colours to do what I believe football is all about," he said. "The strip's very similar to Barcelona and they represent what I'm trying to get to: possession, passing, attacking, defending off your attacking, fresh young footballers and creating your own style."

Burley brought through Zaha. Iversen recommended Parr. Popovic recommended Jedi. Delaney is one that DF did have his eye on and surprised us with. If you go through all of his signings, there's about a 3rd of them that are his spots, they're nearly all defensive. Only Murray did he scout himself and the Bolasie one I'm not sure whether I believe that he was a target for as long as DF claims. A year. A year? Fvck me, the bloke only got 7 apps in 12 months. It's highly unlikely we had a scout watching a player coincidentally playing in 7 of their 50 games in 1 season.

DF was good at picking ONE system and getting the skillsets to fit that formation, somehow and at some point. He has not done enough in the game to be doing what he's assigned to do now and is making a mistake.

He took quicker money. Loads of comments, either from his own creation or in response to matchday frustration, or to forum comments, contradict his patience and our supposed haste at the time. A load of "dreamers" was what he called us. Another foot in mouth comment, and there were several.

He talked a good talk and when you walk after doing that talk, and the walk contradicts the talk, it's inevitable it's going to p1ss a lot of people off. I hopr for his sake there's no version of Newshopper where he cannot help himself but comment in it every other day.
