Needs to pull his socks up that lad.

3 million wouldn't buy him.

And I'm one of them.

I've never been impressed when I've seen him play. I wouldn't touch him.

Buy him - he seems like a decent, strong box to box player to me who gets a few goals.

Aye, cant have enough grafters.

I recently suggested Harper would be a good signing for us, looks like Megson agrees.

 

what the f*ck would that clown know?

probably more than you, otherwise you would be earning ?250K+ per year, like he is...................

 

or am I wrong?

always thought he was very average.

 

hope im wrong.

Thank Foock I thought you meant Alan Harper, I'd even play Jussi ahead of him.

what kind of an argument is that?

 

in his field he is at best average....

 

facts prove that...

 

the fact that he is getting paid ?250k to bumble his way through...is a joke.

 

the guys a clown...the fact that most on this forum have changed their opinion of him in the space of a couple of months...is f*cking hillarious...

 

but i will stand myself in the firing line to admit i am wrong if he proves otherwise...

 

but i doubt it...

you may well be right, and at times last season we were dreadful, other times we were better than the last 6 months of allardyce, to defend Megson I would say that he should be given the opportunity to start with a clean slate with his own players, Cahill/Taylor/steinson were excellent signings, I hope he proves me and many other bolton fans wrong, what dissapoints me is that Bolton fans actively want him to fail, that to me is very very strange attitude, and I would like any real bolton fan to come on here and defend that stance.

 

p.s. none will because they have zero argument until Megson fails.

Agreed. i think the problem with fan forums, and fanzines, is that they rely on their teams "failings" for content and comment

I think that's just human nature anyway. The problem Megson has is that rather than fail, he chucked the towel in. Be interesting to see what he makes of the cup compos this season.

 

As for James Harper, I'd rather sign Roy Harper.

Edited by Carlos

No way does Harper convince me as a Prem player. He's good box-to-box, but nowt special beyond that.

Not sure anyone actively WANTS Megson (and therefore BWFC) to fail. All I'll say is that I didn't want him as manager because of his previous record, and I remain to be convinced. I'd love him to succeed coz that means the Whites would be on the up again. I've nothing against him personally, & I could even live with his lack of charisma. But still I have my doubts about his abilities at this level. Here's hoping for the best.

waht the bollocks has charisma got to do with it

 

you'd refuse grant, i guess

 

and benitez

 

and allardyce

i expect him to continue the good work

Thing is , how many of us wanted allardyce when he was appointed manager - not so fooking many! His first part season (if I remember correcltly wasnt too fooking sparkling either. Yet given time, and a preseason, look what success he brought us. we now need to stick together and back OUR manager

You missed off 'than Sammy Lee produced' off the end of the first sentence above.

I hope you're right with the second one. I fear another basement scramble but at least it's exciting I suppose.

 

Charisma? Something BSA was able to use to attract the likes of Hierro, JJ, Djorkaeff and Anelka? JAL

Eh?

 

From 17th in the Championship, to a Play Offs place, and an FA Cup and League Cup Semi?

 

Not a bad start as far as I'm concerned.

Youve misunderstood me. What I am comparing is megsons first (part) season with sams first (part) season. He led us onwards and upwards after a quiet start. Given a full pre season and his own signings, why cant megson to do the same

Good for you. I have my doubts based on his previous record and I'm waiting to see what he does.

I imagine a lot of fans had doubts when Allardyce was appointed; as a manage, he was a relative unknown.

'Charisma' was put in to provoke responses. Job done.

:yahoo:

heres me thinkling you weren't some spotty kid

 

silly of me to think you posted what you thought rather than something to provoke a response

 

then again, more likely you've just realised it was shite

the football, in a similar time span to the one megson was allowed, in a lower league was absolutely dismal

 

it brought results - generally - so it was accepted

 

you remember the debacle against tranmere?

 

i don't think we've ever touched the depths of those two games in my time

fooking average at best, typical Megson signing
