Whether you are 'Ian Evatt in' or 'Ian Evatt out' - this week's podcast promises to bring you plenty of Bolton Wanderers discussion which will suit your agenda.

Sharon Brittan's statement confirming the board's backing for the under-fire boss came as a surprise to some (although one wonders if they have been listening to The Buff). 

Another home defeat to Wigan Athletic left Wanderers fans unhappy and unsure of the direction being taken by a club currently sitting eighth in the table and actually closer to the relegation zone than the top two.

We pick apart the chairman's comments, and read out your emails on what has been a very emotional week. Marc and Henry also look ahead to Wycombe and the rest of the festive fixture list and give their predictions on what shape the club will be in by the New Year.

We have a very special offer for listeners of The Buff Podcast - so take note.
