Bolton about to sign Jack Rodwell apparently. That guys career has taken a serious detour. The curse of young players going to big clubs too early in their careers 

That must be some wage drop he’s taking.

[AJW]

Lowe and Rodwell in midfield for the trotters ... A case of Can't play and Really can't play if ever I saw one ?

What a load of crap from 73k a week to peanuts at Bolton? He is off to America by all accounts one things for sure it isn’t bolton

[bob fleming]

The only place that waster should be going is the back of the dole queue. The epitome of the sort of crap we’d be moving heaven and earth to sign 2 years ago.

I’d rate Bauer at CB well before Lenihan.

Chapman or Conway.... tough choice

 

One is good at attacking, the same one couldn’t defend to save his life. The other is a good fella who will always work hard for the team and has bags more experience of first team football.

All things considered, you’re bang on. A tough choice.

[JHRover]

Bolton are being linked with everyone. Probably because they're desperate and have agents crawling all over them. Opposite to us really. Unless they've suddenly struck oil under one of those car parks then they haven't got any money. Links to Rhodes and Rodwell laughable unless they're both dropping their wages to 10k a week.

Does anyone else remember anything about one of the conspiracy theories in which our favourite journo was actively involved with certain agents?

I just clicked on the first article, I didn't even know Nixon wrote for the sun. I only follow him on Twitter. I actually thought he wrote for the mirror

Yep. Funny how he turned up on here around about then. Everything engineered just to buy a little bit more time, to keep the illusion going. Fact is if “wee Stevie gem” hadn’t been so thick / antagonistic they’d have bled a bit more out over a longer period of time.

Anyway, we digress, back to the hot topic of transfers.

He was here well before the Venkys and Anderson turned up.

It was Nixon who.broke the Santa Cruz to Rovers  story and the Craig Bellamy story before that.

Il be honest I have heard the rumour about Nixon being in cahoots with Anderson and other's and in my opinion it's a load of nonsense. 

Yeah he talks a lot of shite and doesn't help himself with his love in for Owen Coyle and calling a Kean a wee gem after his first presser but he was writing on this  message board well before Anderson was around.

He used to break a lot of transfer stories for rovers but obviously since the Venkys came in his contact at the club must no longer be employed

You don't follow him, becuase he blocked you ? 

"no, Alan blocked me for being a fud " 

[JacknOry]

Rodwell to Bolton - now that is pie in the sky. If he was willing to go to their wage level I am sure he would pop up somewhere else.

[tomphil]

Which bullhitter keeps linking players to Bolton ?  They pay about 4/5k per week that's why Lowe has ended up there.

Anderson and co dealt with Rovers as well before Venkys pitched up, think about it ?

I can still follow him, I just can't @ him. I think anyway, he banned me years ago. I'd say 2011. It was Kean related. I haven't checked recently. I can see his tweets anyway

Yeah but that many years before?Alan Nixon being part of some conspiracy with Anderson and SEM is something I'm not buying.

He was reporting on rovers for years and was one of the only reporters who actually covered Rovers in the transfer market.

He even made an appearance on that documentary "The house that Jack built".

I'm not a nickoteen or what ever they used be called on here,and I get that he talks shite and can be very ignorant on social media but Nixon through the walker years got plenty if transfer stories involving Rovers right

He did indeed he's always had a foot in the Rovers camp but times change and the way journos work has changed massively as has the role of agents since that docu was made.

There's no conspiracy but he has a foot in some agency camps for sure and will obviously show favour to them and their clients when he has too. Along the way he'll still get the odd scoop but not so much Rovers unless his pals have a few people in situ which they still obviously did with  Coyle.

He joined this website shortly before they bought the club, when I say shortly I’m talking maybe 6 months before.

Funny that. I thought, “that’s funny”.

Hey big dog I am no expert but if you believe what is written in the sun AND you know a bit about our local rivals YOU could easily work it out for yourself. Let me repeat bwfc have no money and can only sign freebies!

you don’t need sources for that info it’s on every pair of lips of their own fans

[Stuart]

Surely to Zeus we can’t be outspent by Bolton. And they’ve already brought in Oztumer.

Why would you want to? ?

[Fraserkirky]

Chapman over Conway anyday of the week and twice on Tuesday. What is with this Conway lovefest, he can barely run for gods sake. If we play a 4-2-3-1 like we did last year for most of the season, then you need a left winger who is quick on the break and can beat a man. More focus on going forward. 

Have Evans and Smallwood do the dirty work, we need someone in the team with pace.
