Bolton fan in peace, just coming here to ask, what can we expect from Hill and Flitcroft? |  | | |  |

Great appointment for Bolton.
Turned sour towards the end with us. Because he was our most successful manager and we was punching above our weight I think he felt he was above any critiscm from supporters. He should be coming back refreshed and deserves the opportunity at a higher profile club. |
I agree with 99% of this post, but it might have said "he deserves ANOTHER chance at a higher level". He upset some fans by going to Barnsley, after saying he'd stick with Dale, but didn't work his magic there.
Twice he not only reinvigorated a lacklustre squad, bringing the best out of players on the books and making signings who often went on to bigger clubs (and salaries), but he also fielded teams that played with flair and pace.
Has he still got what it takes? That is one of many questions given the troubled state of Bolton (but at least the club dodged the Laurence Bassini bullet). | | | |

Hope you get the good Hill; not the horrible one who surfaced towards the end of his tenure with Dale.
If you get the hungry, sensible version, then he will be a fantastic manager for Bolton, and might even see you safe this season. He is certainly capable of great things, and good football.
If you get the money mad bully who left us, then he won't last long at a bigger club whose supporters will savage him.
Please don't mention Man U. he is a massive supporter. All the Bolton fans I know can't stand them.
All in all; I wish both of you well. | | | |

Holt and Lambert?
Signed by parkin and sold before hill became manager.
I will give hill half the credit for Murray though. |
Parkin brought Murray in as well. |  |

His permanent signing was agreed when he came on loan. | |

Prepare for a bit of rock’n’roll on the pitch and off the pitch. You won’t have had a manager like him and you’ll never have a manager like him again. He’ll say what he wants when he wants and at some point will upset clubs, owners and fans and it will be box office. You’ll have full backs playing upfront, centre midfield and just about anyone in the squad but full backs playing fullback.
Don’t underestimate the signing of Flicker as his assistant too. He is the perfect middle man between Hilly and the players. Probably the only person in the world that Hilly listens to and all. |  | | |

Completely echo everything that has been said. If his 6 months or so out of the game have cleared his head then you’ve got a great manager.
However, unless he has learnt to say the right things, my only fear is that he will p155 you all off.
We don’t get massive crowds, yet he took quite some offence to a few old codgers sat behind him. Multiply that by the differential in crowds at Bolton and he could quickly find himself alienated. | | | |

Could not wait to see the back of him by the end, arrogant to the extreme and will not accept any criticism from fans....BUT, if you get the Hilly of the early days you will be footballing teams to death on a regular basis...I hope you get the early one and don't rule out staying up with him in charge...Unless of course the EFL slam you with more points deductions...Good luck. |  |

I think this is a good appointment for both club and Hill/Flitcroft, played some fantastic football. I always avoided his interviews though, totally bewildering at times. Good luck. |  | | |

Another thing that hasn’t been mentioned yet, while he’s in charge you won’t sign another player you can’t afford again! |  | | |

Parkin signed Dagnall with the money we got from selling Holt. |  |

Dagnall was signed by Parkin. He signed some cracking players for us it has to be said.
As for Hill how can we forget Dawson and Hogan. | | | |

Perkins, Lund, tom kennedy, matt done, henderson..
The list of players Hill signed for us is endless and he’s made us some serious cash in the process.
Hope he does well there (just not against us), i definitely think Bolton have got themselves a gem of a manager. Oh and he loves the club.. |  |

Is Will Buckley still at Bolton? | | | |
| Keith Hill on 21:43 - Aug 31 with 2280 views | pnc4eva1 |
The best manager we've seen.
Lost his way in the last two seasons after his sad and mentor died.
If he adopts no fear approach you're going to survive and love it.
If you question hiss methods be prepared for a hurricane of poo to be directed at your fans |  |

Think he's a free agent not mentioned on any of their squad pages.... | |

The best manager (and assistant) that we’ve ever had. We played some fantastic football under Hilly and he took us further up the league(s) than we thought possible.
Things went wrong toward the end of his time with us, Hilly just didn’t seem the same character and the team suffered.
You’ll see many fans say it will depend which Keith you get. He’s had time out of the game, will be refreshed, and has always been a proud Bolton lad. I think he’s perfect for Bolton right now. |
Great appointment, especially with Flicker on board. Don't think the sum of their individual performances came anywhere near their abilities as a partnership. | | | |

He is an omnipicant big head Flitter is a good go to guy.
Maybe a good combination...Hill should always be only a number 2..
Loses the dressing room all the time.... |  | | |

Our ex-GME likes 5 year contracts & taking cuts of transfers
Wish him well though as always ok with my son when he was younger.
If things go south let me know, still have a Hexit banner 😀 |  |
