More likely Parish to run the team himself, as well as 'just sign the cheques, mate'

Parish as manager, that's my dream appointment. Well that or David Ike.

Fair play to you coming on here.
Would be really surprised if he goes and would be more concerned about what it indicates about the owners....(.? lack of funds to realise his ambitions with the team....just a thought...?).
Sooner or later, we,ll have the same with Gus.....not looking forward to that day.

Agreed. But in Boltons case, it would seem that a timely Manager of the Month award is pretty much all thats required these days to get someone else in the door. Would Freedman even be on their radar if Palace hadn't had a decent last 4-6 weeks or so ?
Madness.
I read that they were impressed with Palace's win at the Reebok, a bit like us with Ryan Harley and Liam Trotter.

CPFC2010 have stated on the BBS that Dougie wished to talk to Bolton and that compensation has been agreed. #cpfc

To be honest though I'm not sure Freedman will actually go to Bolton. Not really the best career move.
However, his deal at Palace is running out and Bolton have offered 3 years at no doubt higher pay. How happy is Dougie really with his relationship with CPFC2010? Must have come under a lot of strain with Parish's tweets publically undermining his manager.

Hardly a basis for a considered decision on offering him a job though is it, as your second point would bear out.

It's all a cheap motivational trick. An hour before they kick off at Barnsley tomorrow Freedman will announce that he is staying at Palace and the team will be so revved up by the news they will storm onto the Oakwell turf and smash their way to an away point.
I don't see Bolton Wanderers as progression for Dougie Freedman and the only incentive for the Scot must be MONEY.
When they were in the Premier League Bolton were like Wigan; defying the odds week in week out - a fantastic manager for most of the time in Sam Allardyce, who got the best out of his average team playing long-ball tactics. Roberto Martinez sets his team out well and they play good football. He's one of the best managers around and Liverpool should have appointed him. Bolton's luck ran out eventually and I can't see them returning to the top flight for a good five years (if they're lucky). Their fans are passionate, know the current realities and will give Freedman time but I can't see their chairman Phil Gartside doing the same.

It's a fairly clearcut situation financially - potentially out of contract at the end of the season vs a guaranteed 3 years money probably at an increased rate.

Another twist in the palace v Brighton banter stakes, recent form has given palace plenty to shout about and give it large after we had been doing the same during our good spell but this will shift the piss taking rights in our favour for another spell. Anything that unsettles and destabilises palace is a good thing but Bolton ffs!! Says a lot about our two clubs that Bolton would be roundly laughed at if they came sniffing around Gus but Palace give up Dougie with barely a whimper, marvellous stuff lets hope this signals a disastrous end to their temporary good form and leads to Zaha buggering off too and Palace sliding down the table.

If Bolton want him, he is as good as gone. Freedman is Palace through and through. He must have played there for a dozen years. But Palace are skint, so Parrish wants the compensation money. Very similar to our situation with Coppell. Coppell wanted to stay, Knight wanted the money...Which manager worth his salt, would stay at a club where he knows the chairman is more interested in the compensation, he can get for you that the job you could do for his club

I didn't realize this, could be a big factor. I await the outcome with much interest.

PLUS possibly the promise of funds to take your best players with you?
