So Bassini’s first broken promise!

If they fall for his words then more fool them, the whole thing with the shirt and saying he’s been offered £20m more than he’s paying for it is just ridiculous. The whole interview is PR stage managed again by Jim White, showing a bit of resistance to give Bassini the platform to show how much he cares.

Apparently he’s not even allowed to pay them, he knows this most likely and is doing it to get some easy points with the Bolton fans. They seem to be lapping up his ‘passion’ on twitter so it’s working

He doesn’t even own them yet so risky business paying them

Bolton bit even mentioned that the match may be in doubt! Bassini promises wages will be paid today, must be doing a bank transfer into each account as can’t imagine any banks are open

Didn’t that stem from someone on here editing his wiki?

That’s almost as fast as that Bulgarian lad and Devarn Green!

Stunning, perfect if you went to white shorts

Horrible season but I love this one: And also but not quite (from another relegation season)

Annoying seeing tweets saying things like ‘where are the Brereton haters now?’ Seems these days you can’t be critical of anything without being labelled The reverse goes for positivity as well

Easy this year for Umbro, flip the halves and go back to a nice royal blue and they are onto a winner

He was - but not when I posted he had gone back in which is why I said I thought he’d be coming on

Credit to the Bolton fans today, hardly stopped singing and in general having a good time with some witty chants. The Bassini chants may be premature mind you

Smallwood to a league one club please and bring Rodwell in for another year

Cracking finish. Some poor ones second half but he had a good game and was involved in the second as well.

Either way that second series of the Sunderland Netflix series is going to have some drama

Great to win; Brereton got his goal and the young lads looked good. What did we learn? Well Rodwell is superior in every way to Bennett in the middle, being a good guy shouldn’t be enough

Feel for Rodwell he’s played well, bringing Bennett on was just silly really, Tony obviously planned to bring Buckley on after an hour and didn’t want to deviate from it

Should be 3-0 awkward bounce just in front of Ben and he’s skies it

I’d be tempted to bring Dack off for one of the young lads. He’s playing well but we know how good he is let’s experiment

Can’t see Bennett with the rest of the subs so he may be coming on yep Bennett it is, Shame seemed a perfect chance to throw Buckley on

YAYWYAYSYAYYAS BRERO

Not much of a game but Brereton showing some nice touches and hold up

Really pleased to see Rodwell and Brereton given a chance hopefully in their natural positions, Nyambe rightfully regains his spot Great to see two younglings on the bench as well, would have loved Chappy and Davenport but can’t be greedy

Yes there’s been some horrible stuff aimed his way but he’s trying to pin it on Nick and smear him and it’s bang out of order.
