Phil Parkinson claims the portrayal of Bolton Wanderers as a ‘crisis club’ will not stop him adding quality to his squad before the close of the transfer window.
Despite the glare of national media attention being fixed on fan-protests, financial problems and Ken Anderson’s continuing efforts to sell – the manager remains adamant he can bring in at least two new signings to help his team’s survival effort in the short term.
Parkinson’s defiant statement came after a 2-0 defeat at home to West Brom on Monday night, which left the Whites three points from safety with 17 games left to play.
“It frustrates me, and I have said it before, that there is a picture being painted about Bolton which isn’t entirely correct,” argued the Bolton boss.
“This club is in a good position to be bought. The chairman has actively said that he’s trying to bring people in. It’s a great club and people want to come and play for us.
“There are clubs in far worse positions than we are. Unfortunately for us some of our issues have been in the papers recently but I am confident we can get those players in to make us better for the last part of the season.”
Wanderers’ goal-scoring problems are summed up in the fact they have failed to score in 10 of their last 15 games. Parkinson’s attack has already been shorn of Christian Doidge, whose return to Forest Green now looks set in stone, so it seems the onus will be on adding at least one striker before next Thursday’s deadline.
“We need to add a couple of players,” Parkinson said. “I have spoken to the chairman in the last 24 hours about that. He knows that, I know that, the embargo has been lifted so now we have a busy couple of days and can we add to what we have got?
“A lot of the approach play is good, there are some great crosses going in the box, can we add to what we have got with a bit of quality to give everyone in the club a lift? We’re going to work hard to do that.”
Meanwhile, Wanderers have announced that tickets for the forthcoming home game against Reading will be priced at £15 for adults and £10 for concessions.
