What the expert says...
Ian Evatt left the club after Bolton's latest defeat on Tuesday evening
Bolton Wanderers announced the departure of Ian Evatt on Wednesday morning after the club's most recent loss against Charlton last night.
Fans have been speaking out about the manager for a number of weeks now with ironic cheers seen when opposition teams have scored against them and constant cries of Evatt out.
"There comes a point in football when a change needs to happen and the last thing I want is to damage what we have all built together," Evatt said after his departure.
Next Bolton Wanderers Manager
Betting odds continue to be offered on outright markets in League One with Bolton now 15/8 to finish in the Top 6 places in the league table.

Those current odds give an implied probability of 34.8% that Wanderers will finish in the Top 6 in League One at the end of the current campaign.
