frank_spencer Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Are you 'avin a giraffe? But for playing a burnt neck little Argie (who wasn't even their player) he'd have taken WHU down. i think he meant that the only viable alternative is Curbs as he's the best of a bad bunch.
Zico Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Pissed up and pissed off Bolton fans heading from the Fanzone straight in the ground could spark some fairly ugly scenes. does the walk from scotts / hpi to the ground calm people down?
Guest Biff Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 We don't want a defender or a midfielder as manager. They are too defensive minded. Get a centre forward in - Owen Coyle.
Ani Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 does the walk from scotts / hpi to the ground calm people down? or the fact that they wont know the result when walking into the ground ? we can only hope some of the players have not given in the same way as people on here. should rename this site 'Les ways des wanderers.'

Tombwfc Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 does the walk from scotts / hpi to the ground calm people down? Jaysus, theres some picky fuckers on here. I didn't word it brilliantly, but the point was that the idea behind the fanzone was that if you get a load of Bolton fans in one place, and supply them with booze, it'll make the atmosphere better. Lose again tommorow, and there will be an atmosphere on Sunday, but not a nice one. As for Curbs, i didn't mean he's the only man on earth who could do the job. But he's by far and away the best candidate for the job who wouldn't piss himself laughing if we tried to give it to him.
globaldiver Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Q: win the next 2 and "everybody's happy nowadays"?
dci_bwfc Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Megson only 2nd favourite to get the chop, behind Zola? Skybet
Horwich Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 The West Ham game was just "polishing a turd" If it wasnt for West HAm having a shite keeper, we would still only have 1 win this season. Can't see where we are getting our next win from.
Arnold Jackson Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) The West Ham game was just "polishing a turd" If it wasnt for West HAm having a shite keeper, we would still only have 1 win this season. Can't see where we are getting our next win from. It's a sad thought but I'm more inclined to believe this than the Megson opinion that we are 'not far away' and not to panic. The trouble is the underperforming players have been 'brainwashed' into believing this too. Fabrice Muamba says on the official website ... "if we keep doing what we have been doing everything will come good for us" Errm actually No Fabrice ... if you keep doing what you have been doing, both personally and collectively we are in BIG trouble! EDIT: Also whilst I'm thinking about it... how ironic is it that Gary Megson tells the fans to not panic... it seems to me that for large portions of the games our players are really panicking ... and just kicking the ball anywhere away from our half.

YATESY Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Curbishley is a good shout, even Big Sam is beginning to look a better option than this dull shi*e excuse for a manager. Myself though, I reckon we will stick with Megson until it is too late. Having given him ?27M to spend this year, the club will give him more time than Sammy Lee had. Why I don't know! For me he has had ?27M, brought in his own players and back room staff but we are only 3 points better (and a lot worse football style) than a year ago. Is it too much to ask to attend a Bolton game and be entertained? Under Big Sam there was always one option (Youri, JJ, Diouf, Campo, Anelka etc) today we have a team of average Premiership plodders with not an ounce of creative ability amongst them.
exiledwhite2 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 i did actually agree with that a few weeks back So did I I won't claim I was 100% sure, I thought it could go either way, but I was hopeful it would be the 'right' way especially after West Ham But he's got his players fit now, he's had games to 'attack' and he's failed to do so spectacularly Not good enough

Sluffy Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I don't know how Alan Curbishley is viewed back home in Bolton home but down here (I live just outside London) he seems to be considered something of a 'yesterday' man. By that I mean that he did an excellent job for Charlton for quite sometime but eventually he went 'stale'. For the last two or three seasons at the Valley his team basically collapsed after Christmas (similarly to what we did in Allardyce's last season). I was told that he was not going to have his contract renewed and basically Charlton let him see out his time rather than sack him in respect for what he had done for them. At West Ham he appeared to be out of his depth and was certainly heading for relegation until Carlos Tevez turned on the magic and saved the club from the second division. It was no surprise - and with some relieve - to my West Ham mates when he was sacked. Curbishley sort of parallels Allardyce's career - both did wonderfully well with unfashionable clubs, both found quality players for next to nothing (Sam found older foreign players, Curbishley younger British players but the result was just the same), both were in the frame for the England job, both seemed to lose interest in their club, both took on a higher profile job, both failed, and both are looking for work.

Best post on here for ages. I mentioned entertained in August and got slagged off to fcuk by dicks saying its all about winning and staying in the prem, yeah can see that happening. As i said many times its thanks to GARY MEGSON that after 16 seasons i no longer have a season ticket and thats a fact. Newt to do with fickle, money etc......... just dont enjoy / want to go any more for the 1st time in over 35 years. Lose him and hopefully will reignite my spark and love for BWFC
MickyD Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Who would I bring in as replacement for Megson? My Grandmother would do at least as good a job and she died some dozen or so years ago!
Big_Girl_Oral_Explosion Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 For me he has had ?27M, brought in his own players and back room staff but we are only 3 points better (and a lot worse football style) than a year ago. Under Big Sam there was always one option (Youri, JJ, Diouf, Campo, Anelka etc) today we have a team of average Premiership plodders with not an ounce of creative ability amongst them. But this was no surprise to those who cared to read what it said on the Megson can of management techniques. At all his former clubs he discarded quality and skill for workmanship and effort. It gets me down even now to hear fans slag off diouff et al with the "what did they do lately for us jibe"
Plums Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) Out of all the posts on various websites can someone find a positive 'gary is a decent manager' post? ( after saturdays result ) So I can take it we all agree that he is substandard? With that in mind do you want a sub standard manager in control? Don't say he's better than what we can attract because I'm not having that. Edited October 28, 2008 by Plums
Big_Girl_Oral_Explosion Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 That's right, Campo was quality wasn't he. yes he was! better than any of our current midfield contingent and scored some crucial GOALS in big games as i recall. did he cost millions? remember Arse away in the cup 1-1 when we played em off the pitch in the FA cup at their ground? MOTM running midfield as i recall, oh and he could pass and open up a defence too.
