.............who will actually revel in today's result/performance.

 

C'mon lads, get it out of your system, then we can attempt to move on.

From talking to people who attend the match, it is becoming more and more obvious that the majority of the fans do not support Megson (in my opinion). I think we are starting to see our club disintergrate, falling attendances, poor season ticket sales, lack of interest fron the tele, poor football, so should we fiddle while Rome burns, shut our eyes to it, like a think a number on here think we should, because they support the club and team! In my view blindly.

You are right, of course.

 

We should replace the manager as often as other clubs

Did not say that, if this fella is not right, get rid, before it is too late.

Is he not right?

In a way

 

I hope we play so shite for a few games that they actually do just fuck off and moan elsewhere.

 

The atmosphere reeked of a crowd baying for blood

 

What's the fucking point of that

 

I'm ashamed to be a BWFC fan on days like today because the support from 95% of the ground was awful, simply awful.

 

Eventually, the cunts may get their way and then where are we?

 

The atmosphere was bad because our football was so bad - NOBODY WITH HALF A BRAIN CAN DEFEND THIS MANAGER - HE IS RUINING THE CLUB AND TURNING OUR FANS AGAINST EACH OTHER

We were a good save from 1-1 right at the death but come on, I have never wanted us to lose regardless of who was in charge but going on the evidence of the end of last season and today can anyone say that we are really moving in the right direction?

 

People are saying it is the first game of the season but from today's performance it is quite simple that we can expect exactly the same as last season and from the personnel on display today there is no chance of a change in style. No entertainment for another season but I still reckon we'll stay up easily, even with today's performance.

Is he not right?

Depends what you want. Free flowing, entertaining football then probably not.

 

Premiership survival then he probably is right.

You are right, of course.

He is right, your limp response is yet another from a long line of lemmings on here.

Most clubs have no choice other than to appoint cheap shite, we can do MUCH better than this actor.

Who would you have in charge?

 

Without suggesting anyone other than Megson

You humm it Ill play it, I follow NO one flower.

Looking at what is happening to the attendances and season ticket sales,

Looking at the team style of play,

Looking at his results over his tenure,

Looking at his opinion and views of the fans,

Looking at what he did at his other clubs,

 

I do not think he is right for the club!

Absolutely spot on there, two friends of mine told me they had tickets for todays game...i actually cringed.

 

I don't think they'll go again ...not because of the football ...but for the very reason you point out.

so he isnt going again cause the crowd were crap???

wot utter bollocks!!!!!!!!, ive never read as much bull shit in my life.

truth is even before you get to the match deep down you know wot its going to be like, do you really think if Bolton attacked and gave 100% the stadium would be as quiet as it at the moment?

dont blame the paying customers for our problems, its the fookin tripe we are served up week in week out that stops people coming or making a noise.

What the fuck has glennboltw's post got to do with me?

 

2 out of your posts this evening seem to be aimed at me: explain yourself please.

 

They will be doing this via mod preview for racism

Is he not right?

 

nigh on two seasons say no....

Credit where its due Megson has kept us up... but all this conflict with the fans is not healthy for the club.... It would be seriously stupid to sack him now (not that it would happen anyway) but if we continue to play like we did today and/or relations between manager and fans continue to worsen then the club have no option but to let him go...

I really hope we do well this season and the fans get behind Megson....but i highly doubt thats going to happen....

When i was just a little boy i asked my mother what will i be

 

should i Bolton sholuld i be scum,here what she said to me

 

wash your mouth son and go get father gun and shoot the munich scum shoot the

 

munich scum

What gets me with Megson is his complete lack of ability to motivate his teams.

 

Whatever the rights and wrongs with the players, formation etc etc the fact remains that the manager should have been able to get a much better performance out of the 11 on the pitch today to comptete with an average Sunderland team.

 

This seems to have been a common occurence since he has been manager in my opinion

Read this thread with interest. Some of our 'fans' have the intellect of a pap test smear.

 

FFS, it's the first game of the season. Do you think Everton fans should be preparing for the Coca Cola Championship next season? First day results never means much. Give it a few weeks.

 

For once, I can't speak about the match becasue the c?nts down here didn't have it as one of the 5 viewers choice games. Sounds like I didn't miss much.

 

I don't reckon Megson has done a bad job but I am reaching a point where I think it may be better all round if he did go just so we dont have to read posts from utter fooktards like Rufus T Firefly.

I purposely had a good drink and a kip before posting about yesterdays experience. If it could have gone wrong yesterday it did - walking up to see Mccann playing right wing immediately took the wind out my sails and proves the point that Gary has not in fact done objective one of the summer and stengthened our squad sufficently to cope with a couple of injuries - YET - there is still time and that was a wake up call. I heard steinnsson had a wobbler at being dropped and walked out - might be wrong.

 

The performance by all except Cahill and Jussi was well below and Sunderland looked right at it from the first whistle we were well 2nd best today there will be plenty more of them this season that's a fact today was just made worse as it was opening day. Our style of play will not change and IS awful but at times hopefully over the next 37 games will be effective to get results thats' reality not a good one but a fact.

 

The crowd was disappointing both in its size - severly worrying to be honest but also the divisions over Gary resurfaced again and very early on and that's the worst part of all this for me going to home games and watching us lot bicker and fight (I saw 2 last year in ESL) between each other has got to stop makes the whole match experiecne depressing these days win lose or draw. Garys disasterous PR just compounds this day after day so he has got to take some responsibilty for it as he has done nothing to attempt to build bridges, one clap of an away end one snippet in the media to say "large majority of our fans are spot on" and not "it's inevitable i will get abused at this club but me and the players are prepared for it" - the large majority of our fans may not be spot on but for god sake Gary do yourself a favour.

 

I also heard a couple of rumours (from decent sources) the players are now questioning Megson and think he's about reached his ceiling and his tactical limitations are halting further progression.

 

Lets give it 6 games see if the new lads can gel and he can add more players, Megson does not deserve the sack on results and progress to date - that's all he will be judged on, his PR and personality will never come in to play so we'll just have to grin and bare it.

Everton

Great post, fully agree

The thing about Everton is that they were playing a quality side. If Arsenal had the chances Sunderland in the first half they would have buried them and we could have been on the end of a severe pasting. Thank god the midweek game has been postponed. Sunderland were poor last season but a new manager and a few signings and they have improved greatly. I was shocked to see Mcann on trhe right wing I saw him come out and thought what the fuck.
