"Right decision to let Hill go, I actually thought he was an ideal appointment at the time, but he's been a massive disappointment, crap tactics, raspberries defence, dodgy substitutions, players playing out of position, the list is endless."
"3 wins on the bounce heading into Accrington. And that was that. All downhill from there. We were 12 points from safety with 3 games in hand after that. We have since won 2 games out of 20 and stand 21 points from safety. He’s also rumoured to have alienated players/upset the hierarchy. Yes we’ve not had a pre-season and the squad has been mashed together, but as previously stated, this was a free shot and he raspberried it up."
"The football was great at first and he seemed the right man for the job then after the Accrington game I started losing faith in him. The rant at Rochdale. Chickson being let go. No tactics. Couldn’t get the team to defend It quickly went down the pan."
"On the pitch, I couldn't see what he was trying to do. It certainly wasn't strengthening the defence !! No sign of us improving. If anything we were going backwards. At a push, I could have accepted what a difficult job it was and given him more time but with the bull he came out with and his whole "know it all" attitude, I don't think I've disliked a manager more. Bye bye."
"It was a difficult job but he still ballsed it up with many wrong decisions throughout the season. He managed to alienate a lot of fans early on and more along the way. Nothing he did on the training pitch or on match day improved that even a little bit."
"I was quite happy when we appointed him but Accrington was the first nail and then him ranting at imaginary criticism when he was getting a free ride, was the end for me."
"It was a bit of a free hit for Hill, and he was backed by his bosses. No moans or hint of dissatisfaction (certainly publicly). Yet Hill managed to alienate large swathes of support with his rantings and associated raspberrys. Then there were the performances. Good to see some attacking intent after PP, but that's about it."
"In short, there is only one person Hill can blame, and that's himself."
"The only 2 games I will look back on from this season are Wycombe away and Coventry City at home. We played kids on both occasions and Keith Hill was involved in neither - that sums up his time in charge for me . He was clueless - end of."

I would think Bishop's assessment is more accurate than Miller's.MTFCMusings wrote:Miller will be happy, Hill and Flitcroft gone from Bolton.

I know he spent hours on the training ground trying to perfect attacking and defensive drills and at times it showed. True what Davies has said you don't realise what you have until it's gone.

I always maintain that we should have kept him on. Saved cash on his severance pay. His players would have largely been out of contract now so a new gaffa would have a relatively clean slate had he messed it up again.
It's all water under the bridge now and we can't 100% say it would have been better or worse. In all honesty though I can't realistically see it being cocked up as much as this season had though.
