SAM Allardyce wants to give bad boy Lee Bowyer the chance to revive his career at Bolton.
Allardyce will make an official approach to Newcastle when he comes back from a family holiday.
Bowyer's Newcastle future is still in doubt after his infamous punch-up with team-mate Kieron Dyer - and with Graeme Souness lining up new midfielders. And Allardyce plans to bring talented Bowyer in to boost his club's first European campaign.
Big Sam also believes he can tame Bowyer whose off-the-field reputation goes before him.
Bowyer is on a big salary so Newcastle would have to give him away for Bolton to be able to afford the package.
would be cracking signing imo...
