'Correct decision': Bolton Wanderers fans react to Keith Hill's departure

And you've been having your say on the news that the Boltonian and his assistant David Flitcroft will not have their contracts renewed beyond the end of this month. 

From why it didn't work, to who should be next, we've put together some of your views below.

Feel like Hill lost the fans very early on in his time with us with his comments. Flitcroft though, always had time for #bwfc fans and would always chat to them. Number of good chats with him when the little lad played against his junior football team.

Appoint David Lee as soon as possible,He has the experience of working with the players that will be taking us forward and proberbly will represent the best value for money.#BWFC

seeing as most of the squad is out of contract, fresh manager fresh start, correct decision #bwfc

Appointing Kevin Nolan got to be a no-brainer. Bolton get a good coach who’s been unlucky in last two jobs. Nolan goes back to where he started his career and gets a decent project for him to get back into management. Suits both parties. #BWFC https://t.co/TvUgdNC94a

I'm not overly fussed who we get tbh. I'd just like to have a manger that we can relate with, tried to play decent football, adopts the current 'moneyball' philosophy and stays for more than 2 years. #bwfc

Ambivalent regarding this. Could have gone way or the other will Hill next season. New broom will be welcome though. Onwards and upwards. #bwfc https://t.co/UKINIhV5dV

This is the least surprising news to come out for a good while. We shouldn't celebrate this though. Two men have lost their livelihoods & though this was the correct decision I wish them well for the future.
I don't know who will be next but I will be amazed if it's David Lee.

Had a nigh on impossible job so I do feel for him somewhat. Intrigued to see what direction we go from here. I've seen the Nolan link played down a fair bit... Would love to see us go for Sol Campbell personally.

He just never a good fit for Bolton. Ironic as he was from the town but there you go.

Stuart Waring: More manager turn over, how does this benefit the club

Kielann Preston: New team, new manager for next season bring it on

Darren France: Would have been ideal to get bolton back up from league Two on a budget. Ah well big club mentality and all that.

Tim Peter Jensen: Really think its unfair the way alot of fans are judging him after the limitations put on him. On the other hand, if a manager has a lot of fans against him, just makes his job harder. Already feeling sorry for the next manager the fans wont give a proper chance, if he is not back in the premier league within 2 seasons 😉

Martin Johnson: He had an impossible job, negative points, no money and a team from primary school. Who better can the club afford to hire? Especially after having zero matchday income for 4 months. I suspect they will recruit from within, failing that it will be a failed/inexperienced replacement (frying pan —> fire)
If he had sent someone else to do his PR he would still have a job, those interviews were all nails in his coffin with the fans

AWB: The right decision I think. I don't understand the fans calling for Phoenix to follow them. This is all being done under his new plan. Seems clear to me the owners have backed his plan, so would expect a head coach to be brought in to compliment him as Director of Football. Bring in Hierro! (lol) Looks tailor made for David Lee to me.

Only the blind cannot see: They had a hopeless task to begin with and whoever replaces them will have an even more hopeless task. I await all the 'Jurgen Klopp can now come and take over' posts.

m.82ryan: Thanks for your efforts Kieth and David, didn't work out but no hard feelings. Two Bolton lads with a huge task when taking over obviously proud to have held the positions though. Good luck in the future and all the best.
