I AM a man who has lost the love for my football club.

When I became a Bolton fan 10 years ago, at the age of eight, we had passion, desire, guts and more than anything a downright determination to win every match.

Now we laugh in the face of the best cup competition in the world that has given the club, and the fans, the best memories over the last 30 years.

Who can forget the wins at Anfield, Goodison and Highbury? They were marvellous nights.

Now, instead of having the dream of winning the FA Cup, we hope to finish 17th in the league. It's money, money, money not a thought for the fan.

Sam thinks we don't have the squad to play in the Premiership and the cup. In that case, we don't deserve to be in the Premiership. Manchester United field full teams for the Worthington Cup, FA Cup, Champions League and Premiership.

Bolton fans don't get the excitement of a cup run but the prospect of the club getting a few more quid which will just vanish into thin air without a penny going on any sort of player.

We truly have lost the plot and forgotten who we are!
