Megson claims other clubs in and around the bottom three either do not have the same distractions as he is currently facing at the Reebok, or have the ability to make excuses for their lowly league position. ?One of the problems we have got is that some of the clubs in and around us, such as Portsmouth, are telling everyone that the world is against them, they haven?t got any money to spend, they haven?t got this, or that, but they have spent more money than we have got,? he said.

 

?They have players who cost a huge amount of money a while back and they brought more in than we have got, and yet they have got that galvanising spirit from within their support. Wolves will have it, so will Birmingham and Hull, but we have got to cope with the fact that we haven?t got it.?

 

 

Are Megsons comments fair? for me this man is more to blame than any fan, we pay our money and in my opinion the majority of fans have been fair for a long time, granted there is a vocal minority within the club, but repeated comments like these make me think the time is right for a change

what you trying to say? that hes played well this season. give it a rest he is shite. ?5m for a player who cant run with the ball without twatting it 10 yards infront of him and losing it

 

You clearly haven't been watching the same Fabrice Muamba I and most other Bolton fans have this season.

 

The big black chap who was poor last season but has morphed into a bloody good midfield spoiler?

ya have to be positive, life's too fuckin short not to be.

 

i find it easier to be indifferent and just see what happens and in any event, just think "f?ck it"

"Bolton, Birmingham City and Sheffield United were interested. Bolton paid us ?5m plus the sell-on fee. He was happy to go, we are happy and we still remain happy with the situation."

Fair comment, but a bloody stupid thing to say.

not at all, he is the cause of his is own downfall. he should have managed the abuse much better, but the fans must take some responsibility.

he was the wrong man, because the fans made him the wrong man imo. you cant seriously suggest that the abuse from the fans has not effected the club in some way?

 

i do believe the squad is as good as it ever has been. there is certainly more depth and its much, much younger. with assets to sell. i dont recall any saleable assets under sam(anelka aside). although granted that was not entirely sams fault. i do think we are missing that one special player to make things work, but megson doesnt buy those kinda players as we know. I'm also coming round to the fact that we are probably missing a manager that can fit it all together. Im not convinced megson is capable of doing such a thing, especially in the current situation.

 

but the way some people make him out to be the fuckin devil is ridiculous!

 

I am sorry but having read everything you had said on this thread you dont have a clue Homer

 

Megson has never been and never will be capable of being a premiership manager who could take a club forward and the squad is now full of less than mediocre players.

 

Time for a change and to be honest I would take anyone rather than keep him

 

I was going to Fulham on Saturday but not anymore. I like many others cant stand this dross anymore

I agree that Megson isn't capable of being a prem manager who could take a club forward, but i think the squad we have now is very good actually. Megson just can't get the best out of them because he is a woeful tactician and man manager imo.

I expected him to have a dig at the fans, he can't stop himself

 

He started it at the beginning of the season gushing about Stokes fans and Liverpools passionate fans. It was just a underhand dig at us

 

No manager would air the player issues like he did on Sunday. The BBC interviewer even had to ask him "er, what are you trying to get at Gary?"

 

I think now he wants a pay off and couldn't care less

Perhaps Megson is the new Phil Neal, did the job that was required at the time, get rid and bring some one else in (I dont know who) and push us on

homer, spencer, casino etc. your apathy and excuses to defend the indefensible are reasons why this inept man is still manager of our club. I cant wait for what he will say when he finally gets the boot, he will surpass all his excuses and we will be portrayed as the enemy. Its not time to go, that was 18 month ago.

eh, we are the reason why megson is still here????

 

nope, im lost.

That's probably because they are petulant mollycoddled children who kick and scream when they can't get their own way.

 

I'd imagine it's directed straight at Mathew Taylor as he seems the type.

 

In one. Also McCann but expect Big Sam to take him to Blackburrn

I'd say he is better than last season when he seemed to shin every ball but nothing to wank/drool over yet.

He showed a lot of promise during the summer with England and has played well at times this season but a lot of the time he's been disappointing...

Megson wasn't brought in to take the club forward, he was brought in to maintain Bolton's Premiership status without rocking the boat because he had grand plans to further his career.

 

We all saw that, and from that point all dreams vanished.

eh? if you'll check you'll see i've said he's fecking things up, however i don't think he's quite as bad as people are making out.

 

regardless of the admtedly shocking tactics on Sunday, if the players actually could get the basics right i don't think we'd have lost and nor would we have been as god awful to watch.

dunno why you bother to defend yourself against a charge of apathy from somebody who couldnt be arsed going to the spurs game

Yeah, interesting comments from Megson today. I think they're what you call 'keep me in the job' comments. Looks like saying we were crap, there was dressing room disunity and the fans didn't help weren't the wisest things to say in hindsight.

 

Maybe the club's PR department should do a briefing before a press conference, not after.

or maybe hes now in the business of trying to build 'em up

 

with confidence visibly low, perhaps he's more idea than some

Lets hope the players dont get in the mindset that Sunday was acceptable.
