Dont want to get some on here over exited but just read that bolton may dispence with their manager,and ricketts is a name in the frame,should bolton not promote from within.Nonsence story i believe,as why would he want to go to a dodgy league 2 outfit,though he has stated in the past he loves bolton wanderers.I would be happy to see him go,as imo hes not taking us forward as i would expect and some of his tactics especialy at home,rankle me.

I'm sure he'd be really keen on dropping a division, and signing for a club with serious money issues

This is never going to happen. He's waiting for Wolves.

Where have you read this out of interest? Well no great source of any reliability.Its long drawn out tale,i was reading an article on lord leverhume and links to his rascist background.then i ended up on the bolton news site their local rag.There i saw the bolton manager may be leaving the club,and from there ended up reading a few fans comments especialy a fans forum called wanderers ways.On that site alot of their fans are very keen on ricketts one comment said there was a news link but never found it.Hope your happy now,told you it ws long drawn out story.

Waiting for someone to say they would pay for the taxi.
Remarkable that anyone might think leaving Shrewsbury to go to Bolton might be a career move.

Would have thought Ryan Lowe with two consecutive promotions from league Two on his CV would be a popular choice with over ambitious big spending large clubs in lower divisions.... Mind I'd rather live in Plymouth than Bolton but not sure if Ryan's moved his family down there

Ricketts is not daft. He will know he is manager of one of the most financially stable clubs in the lower divisions. We are bigger than Bolton.

The Corona virus and a 15th place finish have been a blessing for Ricketts with regards to his job. People will of forgot how poor, utterly boring and negative we were for 95% of the 19/20 season.

Under the current Covid-19 travel restrictions I would class this as an essential journey, and am therefore perfectly happy to drive him all the way there.

I have worked out how a Shrewsbury manager moving to Bolton could be classed as a career move, it's so obvious. He would get to a club with about as much going for it as Sc***horpe without the stigma on his CV of his part in a Championship club's demise and eventual relegation. Bear in mind what happened to the ex Shrewsbury Sc***horpe manager though and stick with us, while we want you.

Having no football for 3 months has made me appreciate what we had even more.
In Ricketts we trust.

A 3 year contract on 3 times what he's getting here might tempt him.
Just have to gamble that he gets paid!
Hurst seems to have made a good living out of being sacked.

He won't drop down a division to a less financially stable club with less resources than ours which also has higher expectations. He's got all his old Wolves guys here too so he's got 'his' squad to work with.
Wouldn't be upset if he went though. That guy Clough didn't do a bad job at Burton down the road did he?

There's a lot of naive people around, yes Bolton have had a bad few years but realistically next season they will be favourites for promotion, splashing more cash than us, attracting big name players at that level and playing in front of bigger crowds. Yes it will be built on a deck of cards but that doesnt matter in football, money talks and we know Mr Ricketts has shown than he's not shy in putting himself first ahead of club loyalty. Plus from his perspective, he's loved at Bolton and has an opportunity to become a bigger hero there, whereas with us, the jury is still out (at best) and the chance of success on his CV is slim.
No idea if there is any truth but personally I wouldn't lose any sleep if he left.

No idea if there is any truth but personally I wouldn't lose any sleep if he left. in the current climate, clubs are being watched more closely now and those trying loopholes to get around the financial fair play are getting hit, as for big crowds, yes bolton will be back in the championship probably long before we do, but they might also be like the rest of us and kicking the season off in front of zero fans, as for being naive ricketts certainly isn't, he probably has his eye on the division above us, coventry, Swansea etc

Nice to see things returning to some semblance of normality.
Back to Pilch jumping to Ricketts' defence again after months of lockdown anxiety. Actually a welcome change for once.

I would guess this is silly season news - Bolton would be near the top of my list for teams who could go bust in the near future. Ricketts is I think a cautious man by nature (nothing wrong with that) and still has to prove his worth here before other clubs would be interested in him. The talk about Wolves is just plain daft - why would a club with Champions league ambitions ever look at a lower to midtable League 1 manager, especially when they are very happy with their current one.

I don’t know what people want . We are Shrewsbury Town FC , a third tier club who have their own training facilities which most lower league clubs would love and own our own ground ! At some point we may get promotion but it won’t be on the back of a spending regime which would leave us with a debt equivalent to the national debt of a third world country . We will survive without having to get the begging buckets out .Why ? Because we are well run club . To my mind the best thing we have done for a long time was to wave goodbye to our previous CEO and welcome Brian Caldwell . A superb appointment in my view . Be proud of your Club ffs - we are what we are and , in my view , the better for it.

Well Keith Hill has gone, so the guessing game can start, but I don’t expect it to be Ricketts unless a lot can change behind the scenes at Bolton

Owning our training ground, and being extremely well run, great chairman, decent stadium, ect are all excellent things.
Playing expansive, attacking, Entertaining football is also an excellent thing.
The 2 aren’t mutually exclusive....
Ricketts did the hard part by bringing in players capable of this.. but then played a style and system that was dull and defensive

I think without the early season end we would have seen a more entertaining team.
