October 31, 200817 yr Lay the favourite Manager wont be foreign - Lay all them Likely to have some connection to the club or have been interviewed before. Owen Coyle, not foreign ( well scottish) Played for us in the 90's, and was Gartsides 2nd choice before he appointed Mugson, ticks all the boxes. Thats were my money will be going anyway!!
October 31, 200817 yr Owen Coyle, not foreign ( well scottish) Played for us in the 90's, and was Gartsides 2nd choice before he appointed Mugson, ticks all the boxes.Thats were my money will be going anyway!! How do you know he was 2nd choice? I wasn't aware he was even on the shortlist.
October 31, 200817 yr How do you know he was 2nd choice? I wasn't aware he was even on the shortlist. I wasn't aware there was ANY shortlist.
October 31, 200817 yr How do you know he was 2nd choice? I wasn't aware he was even on the shortlist. I don't think anybody knows who was 2nd or 3rd choice, it's just people guessing
October 31, 200817 yr I don't think anybody knows who was 2nd or 3rd choice, it's just people guessing We do know Souness was interviewed though.
October 31, 200817 yr I don't think anybody knows who was 2nd or 3rd choice, it's just people guessing from the times Coyle was on a shortlist of five at Burnley but Brendan Flood, the club?s operations director and major benefactor, said that the telephone call with McLeish and the revelation that Bolton Wanderers ? where Coyle once played ? had the Glaswegian on their own list before choosing Gary Megson, sealed the appointment. ?I said we needed one or two more references, so he gave me Alex McLeish,? Flood said. ?Alex took the time out last Friday to tell me what a great guy Owen is and that he?s going to be a Premiership manager one day. This was the night before Scotland played Italy and that spoke volumes for me. Phil Gartside [the Bolton chairman] also said that Owen came into their thinking before Gary Megson was appointed. He?s already had three job offers from SPL clubs and is a natural winner, as he proved by beating Rangers 2-0 at Ibrox last season in the CIS Cup.?
October 31, 200817 yr My money is on Steve Wigley!!!! the normal 'cheaper' option that the board like to make
October 31, 200817 yr My money is on Steve Wigley!!!! the normal 'cheaper' option that the board like to make That will be the biggest mistake ever, the man may be a good coach, but he is silent with no personality, to me looks like he just wants to be in the background, there is no way he could cope with a mamagerial position at any club, just not got the where withall.
October 31, 200817 yr My money is on nothing happening and Megson taking us down. Unfortunately i now feel the same. Tis a depressing time
October 31, 200817 yr Cant wait for the market to open, always a good money spinner because some of the names that get linked with us are laughable
October 31, 200817 yr Cant wait for the market to open, always a good money spinner because some of the names that get linked with us are laughable aye lay the favourites as theres nigh a new un everyday, tis like printing money
October 31, 200817 yr My money is on Steve Wigley!!!! the normal 'cheaper' option that the board like to make Alan Cork is higher on the list than Wigley.
October 31, 200817 yr My money is on Steve Wigley!!!! the normal 'cheaper' option that the board like to make Exactly, as anybody who knows football, would understand this appointment
October 31, 200817 yr Jimmy Phillips is your man! Megson is favourite for the next Prem manager to go at 7/4. Worth a punt?
October 31, 200817 yr I wasn't aware there was ANY shortlist. From what I remember we were after Megson, Souness, Bruce and Coleman.
October 31, 200817 yr Megson is favourite for the next Prem manager to go at 7/4. Worth a punt? I would have thought so, if we lose against City I would be very suprised if he didn't go early next week
October 31, 200817 yr Thanks, maybe that's the case. Maybe what I meant though is I don't believe Gartside had any intention of appointing anyone other than Megson. A shortlist on paper, to meet the proprieties, but not in reality. I'm just cynical that way.
October 31, 200817 yr My money is on nothing happening and Megson taking us down. I'm with you Happy. For Megson to go, Gartside has to admit he's been wrong twice in a row and aologise to the fans for his daft comment last time. Or resign himself. Doesn't seem likely to me, but then I'm not a betting man.

October 31, 200817 yr Megson is favourite for the next Prem manager to go at 7/4. Worth a punt? do a double megson out, dowie in
