BBC Sport - Bolton Wanderers allow 15 players to leave after relegation

Fifteen players have left Bolton Wanderers following their relegation from the Premier League, while Kevin Davies has signed a new one-year deal.
The striker and defender Sam Ricketts, who has agreed a two-year deal, are the only players to commit to the club.
Negotiations with Jussi Jaaskelainen and Zat Knight are ongoing.
Ricardo Gardner, Gretar Steinsson and Ivan Klasnic are among those released, while Nigel Reo-Coker has activated a release clause in his contract.
Paul Robinson, Sean Davis, Robbie Blake, Mark Connolly, Tope Obadeyi, Rhys Bennett, Dino Fazlic and Tom Eckersley have also not been offered new deals.
Meanwhile, Tuncay, Ryo Miyachi and Dedryck Boyata have all returned to their parent clubs after reaching the end of their loan spells at the Reebok Stadium.

Job?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Jaaskelainen will go to one of the promoted clubs, surely. Southampton still looking for keepers?

Surprised Davies has signed a new deal.

 

[Simon Morgan]

Davies will dominate at Champ level.

 

[Easy 10]

They're about £100m in debt, so its no surprise they're clearing the decks.

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Done well to keep Davies, I thought he would be the first to go.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I saw Klasnic play a year or so ago and I liked the look of him. I do believe he is on his third kidney as well.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Davies going to be a beast in the champ.

 

[Braders]

Reo-Coker to QPR?

 

[les dynam]

They'll struggle massively next year. In a right old mess financially, the fans will vanish now they're no longer in the Prem (it's a pretty small town), paper-thin squad. Actually i hope we open up the new season versus them... we'd absolute HUMP them.

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Davies comes across as really decent bloke, imagine he has taken a massive wage reduction with the new deal.

 

[Silent Bob]

I saw Klasnic play a year or so ago and I liked the look of him. I do believe he is on his third kidney as well.

He'll go back to Bundesliga I would think.

Sean Davis might be worth a look, he used to be an alright midfielder.

 

[Gwylan]

the fans will vanish now they're no longer in the Prem (it's a pretty small town)

Small? Its population is bigger than Brighton's - do you think we'll struggle to attract fans too?

 

[Smythe]

Bolton's population is far smaller than the city of Brighton and hove.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Small? Its population is bigger than Brighton's - do you think we'll struggle to attract fans too?

No, i think you'll find it's smaller.

 

[Munkfish]

I'd love to sign Kevin Davies, I will be betting on him being top scorer next season.

 

[Foolg]

I thought Carlton Cole would dominate this league, as with John Carew. They didn't, not sure Kevin Davies will have the impact many think, he'll be decent though.

 

[Postman Pat]

Havin 3 premier league clubs on their doorstep wont help either. Wigan's crowds could be helped with Bolton & Blackburn going down.

 

[Mellotron]

I thought Carlton Cole would dominate this league, as with John Carew. They didn't, not sure Kevin Davies will have the impact many think, he'll be decent though.

On the other hand, Jason Roberts and Kevin Phillips have been superb.

I reckon he'll smash more cheekbones than score goals

You mean Bolton, the town which is on the doorstep of the clubs which finished 1st and 2nd in the premier league, also Wigan, Blackburn and Burnley, with a population of 139,403, is bigger than Brighton and Hove, the city with a population of 256,600 situated in a county without another league club (crawley do not count) that has a population of 1.5 million?
