Too much expected of him to bag all the goals? No prolific partner like Doyle by his side? This may have well scuppered Yates' decision to sign for Swindon, we shall but wait and see.

As for Doyle, being offered a 3 year contract at 32 years of age, who can blame him for taking it? Swindon couldn't match the contrcat or wages involved so it's doyle's last hurrah at a decent contract. As always, money talks and football is a short career.
I totally agree Brinster regarding Doyle's perspective. He'd be crackers not to take that contract offer. But my thoughts are what the feck are BWFC doing? Have they learned nothing from the past 2 years. If I were a fan of the Trotters the following remark from Richie Wellens would have me a tad anxious:

"The money Bolton are throwing around for a player of his age, and a three-year deal at that, we couldn't get to that," he told BBC Radio Wiltshire.
