Last week CEO Cain Liddle told Bolton in a private conversation the win-loss threshold was becoming an issue. In reality everyone already knew this, but Little’s message was essentially prophetic.

That meeting lasted 20 minutes and a press conference was called for 2.15pm in the George Harrison room. A payout was organised and like that, Bolton’s 77-game tenure as Carlton was coach was complete.

Quality person and it's a shame it ended this way

I will miss the heart tugging speeches the club released from time to time

Looks like the playing group respected him and will be interesting how they move on from here...

Spineless lot, who need a kick up the arse!! They need to take allot of the responsibility for the performances and the coaches sacking!!

And they can forget the crocodile tears, they were spineless!!

agree players have a lot to answer for; but was it the players who didn't stick to the game plan or the various coaches who couldn't devise a game plan - which brings me to Teague; as forward line coach is he responsible for a shit forward line set up - leaves a worry now that he's got the head job...

He also coached the Northern Blues for a few years, first as a playing coach, then as full-time coach. Took them to consecutive GFs, which we lost.

What a classy exit from Bolton ... a far cry from the Madhouse exit.

Brett Ratten ... come on down!

I guess Mark Harvey could be an outside chance...

I would suggest we constantly keep blaming the Coach and the assistants, but it is the excuse we have been using for the last 20 years!! SOS needs to be put under the hammer for picking players with a history of injury problems and no heart!! Our president and board need there arses kicked as well!!

Take a look at liverpool fc,( and i am a manu supporter) if you do not fit in with the personality of the manger or the supporters and you are after money, you are not a fit for the club! (sanchez at man u, he created a cancer in the club) How are they going?

And they are stuffed!

He's not a great deal better when the cameras are off...and he's had lots of media training. But we've seen no improvement...

So is it the media training coach’s fault or the students ability?

I’m sorry it ended this way, but something had to give.

Dark horse for the coaching position?

MLG is human.

He sacked a person who everyone agrees is a really great guy.

MLG has feelings, he knows BB is a good person, he also sat there and delivered an outcome which many on here had been calling for and indeed celebrated as it became clear it was about to happen.

MLG has been highly successful for the Blues. He may be poor in the media but he fronted the presser today and delivered a tough message.

Poor form to bag a leader who wasn't perfectly eloquent in delivering the news of having sacked a genuinely nice person.

As for people saying he didn't pump BB up enough, he would have been pilloried as being fake if he'd praised BB too much whilst sacking him for failing to deliver.

I don't understand the core premise of Bolton's sacking.

If the whole club still believes in the long-term strategy, which is to go to the draft and then rebuild, why does their win-loss record right now (especially given injuries ie Docherty) matter?

Also: If you're going to be bad, there isn't THAT much difference between being 1-10 right now and being 3-8. That's what Gold Coast is with an equally bad or worse list. Natural variability determines wins and losses sometimes. Bolton would still be there if they were 3-8 right?
