bolty58 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Maybe Bolty it's that these people are so against him, that the "balanced" view, or the view that he is here so lets back him, is seen as Pro Megson to them, as they consider anything that is not completely against him to be "Pro-Megson". I personally consider myself to be in the camp of what seems to be the majority, the one of; Wasn't happy with the appointment, Back him as he is the manager, Praise him for keeping us up, Praise him for bringing in decent players, Not too happy with some of the performances and tactics (thats football though), Slow progress is being made, Things could be better, Things could be A LOT worse. If that is seen to be "Pro Megson", or any of these other stupid comments, like Megson is my God, then so be it. You said it far better than I did mate
Big_Girl_Oral_Explosion Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) The one thing I don't see, which as and some insignificants from another site apparently do, is a strong 'pro Megson' brigade. Other than Zozzy and Casino (and they're entitled to their view as much as anyone), I would have said the vast majority on here are in the 'he's here so we have to back him although we don't believe he is the long term solution for the club' category? Then there are the obvious 'haters' who seem to outnumber the pros by about 5 to 1. Maybe I have misread the general opinion on here? No dont think you have. You can put me in that sort of category. Not a Megson fan myself, never have been. I dont see the rosy long term future under this guy as some do, I think too many give him to much credit for mediocrity. Wanted him out in October and BSA back in. However once that did not happen my view was we had to stick with him til the seasons end. I am still not impressed and really concerned by the clubs position. Last year we got out of the shit because we had a run of games at the end against clubs who were safely in mid table and had nowt to play for: West Ham, Boro, Spuds and Sunderland. That coupled by an implosion of Brum and Reading did the trick. This year its different, a lot of the games coming up are against sides still well in the mix. The results and performances against Stoke, Fulham and West Brom were poor, carry that into the games coming up especially Boro and we could be in a right mess. I have a real bad feeling about boro, hope I am wrong. Relying on the hard run ins of clubs like Sunderland and Newcastle is skating on thin ice. An odd good result against top opposition can inspire a big turn around and put pressure on other clubs in the mire. This maybe a case of glass half empty but watching performances over the past few weeks has not filled me with any confidence in this team or its managers ability to win football matches.

I think I can see what Megson is trying to achieve long term but its the short term that is the problem. We have half a very good team of mainly young(ish) English and home grown players. We can't suddenly fill the other places overnight and thus, it may take another 2 or 3 transfer windows to achieve this aim. Once there though, we have the potential to have a very good team. To repeat myself yet again, we have to battle through the short term dross to get there!

Certainly not top 4 in anything like my lifetime unless some rich milk or oil sheik decides he needs a new hobby based in Horwich! Or do we go for 5th to 10th place? No, been there for 4 consecutive seasons. Half the crowd are bouyed by the treats that another UEFA Cup tour brings, the other half are pretty sure that further sojourns into mainland Europe will bring about the demise of our club. Below 10th is seen by some as a failure to be improving. The fact is, anything above 10th place will mean the Megson doubters will be eating a large slice of humble pie. . . for that reason alone they'll not be wanting much more of a sucess than just staying up with either one point to spare or, better still, by a couple of goals.
frank_spencer Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I want to plea to every Bolton fan, for the games that are left forget your feelings toward Gary Megson or individual players, get behind them, sing your bollocks off support the team, i am tired of hearing how other clubs fans create an intimidating attmosphere.If an individual player makes a mistake dont get on his back just clap give him confidence. I want us to be in this league next year and a couple of wins i think will do it, lets show we can back the team, I feel very passionate about this club and i want us to stay in the top league. Right had my say thankyou!! a positive post he must be one of those 'Megson is a god' posters i've read so much about
