.Williamson. 77,858 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Joe Dodoo has opened up on his decision to leave Rangers for Bolton Wanderers - and insists he has no regrets. The 24-year-old frontman struggled to make an impact in three years at Ibrox, making just 27 appearances and scoring five goals. Dodoo brought his spell in Glasgow to an end last month when he joined crisis-hit Bolton who are currently propping up the third tier of English football on minus eight points following their plunge into administration. But the Englishman insists the move is NOT a step down from Rangers - despite his old club currently topping the Premiership If you rewind a year and the club is in the Championship, we’re not sat here. “Bolton are a big club and I don’t see this as any sort of step down. It’s easy to ignore what goes on behind closed doors but it’s my career and it’s not easy when you are not playing games, or you haven’t got the right manager or the right team." Dodoo was signed by Mark Warburton from Leicester City in 2016 but struggled to establish himself north of the border. He fell right out of the reckoning under Steven Gerrard and spent last season on loan at Blackpool, scoring twice in 18 appearances. And he appeared to take a pop at his former team, claiming he is now in an environment with "people who want to make me achieve". I’d rather be somewhere that I can achieve something with people who want to make me achieve, an environment that I benefit from," he continued. “I feel like I have that here at Bolton. I have enjoyed what I have seen so far and I want more.” “The manager expects the best out of me and I expect the highest of myself,” he said Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jintybear 8,528 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Should never have been here in the first place. Another bargain basement signing by Warburton and as @SeparateEntityMyArse said Bolton is probably his level. Good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zander1 177 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 What else is he going to say? Yeah, it's a huge step down from the world's most successful Club to a Diddy no-mark mid table mediocre championship side. Unlikely to endear him to his new fans.

graeme_4 31,482 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Seems bitter. Probably promised the world by Warburton, but then not really given an opportunity. Did ok in his fleeting appearances, but he must look at Defoe and Morelos and understand why he’ll never be good enough to play at the level required at Rangers.

miracle 7,734 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 It's not a step down from Charlton or Blackpool, where he spent most of his Rangers career Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFTONG 57,948 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 He is a young lad that couldn't impress Stevie G and was told to go find another Club. I can sort of understand why he is upset and in a cream puff. It's never nice to be rejected. Plus the papers always will put a spin on it if it's possible to include a pop at Rangers. Good luck to him. Pity he wasn't able to be the 30 goal a season striker we needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersInCanada 7,775 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Boy is probably happier playing in English 3rd or 4th tier where the players around him are of similar ability and the pressure to win is greatly reduced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle 51,711 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 1 hour ago, .Williamson. said: claiming he is now in an environment with "people who want to make me achieve". At 24 he should be able to make himself want to achieve. He’s not a child needing his hand held. Sums up his attitude and why SG didn’t fancy him.
