Anybody bothering? A few of us going over from London but I imagine this will be our lowest turn out of the season.

I still think Coyle was a Johnny Evan's tackle away from doing something pretty special.

 

Then he went fucking insane.

Flaw in your logic

 

You assume our PPG would have remained constant and not gotten worse under him. We all know where that was going.

 

And you ASSUME it would have dropped. Nobody KNOWS where it was going - it's all assumption whatever side of the fence you sit on. The FACTS might not sit comfortably, but they are undeniable.

Megsons job was made impossible from the start as in some fans eyes they expected Jose or pepe to be appointed.

 

He made some bad moves but so did Coyle,freedman and now Lennon, the bitterness towards him is embarrassing he must be laughing is cock off now at us

Aye laughing his cock off at us in his new job. Where is that can you remind me? The fans did not expect a massive name (well apart from the odd not right) that's bollocks but we certainly didn't expect Megson. The guy had been a cunt everywhere he had been and if everyone in football understands eel what has he done since?. It was always going to end in tears and thats why AT THE TIME it was a bad appointment for me. He may have kept us up, with a much better squad of players than his successors, we will never know. He was still a terrible choice and the start of our slide to oblivion. Last word from me about Megson as well.

correct nobody expected him but thats not his fault! Someone comes knocking with a better deal your off.

It's not just blind assumption though is it. But anyway...

 

The FACTS are that he was sacked with us in the relegation zone because he didn't meet the quota of points set by the board

I do agree it was time for him to go. It was the point of no return.

 

But you can't deny he met all his targets previously and did half decent job in the face of massive adversity

Lisbon

Lisbon

Aye last 16 of the UEFA cup.

fcuking lisbon

 

this really gets on my tits

 

 

our first away game in europe - 4000 wanderers fans millions of miles from home

 

tell me the team fatty put out?

 

 

 

as for lisbon, they were better than us at bolton

 

theyd have been better than us in lisbon

 

we were never going to win that competition and if we had it was worth fcuk all in the scheme of things - yes, it wouldve been nice to win it but zenit were streets in front of us

 

 

if davies et al, hadn't sulked through the wigan game against 10 men for two hours, the decision wouldve been vindicated

Aye last 16 of the UEFA cup.

Not saying he did

Everything wrong

 

But Lisbon and the Saturday after at Wigan were hardly managerial master strokes were they?

 

In fact in terms of terrible man management and clear Mismanagement, they don't come much more compelling

Walker, N'Gotty, Okocha, Fernandes (Nolan 56), Borgetti (Davies 56), Giannakopoulos, O'Brien (Nakata 66), Faye, Ben Haim, Diouf, Pedersen.

 

 

 

we played weakened teams nearly all the way through

anyway, fcuk off with megson on here!!!!!

FFS

 

Really??

 

His JOB is to get the most out of the players

 

He absolutely massively miscalculated with that debacle

 

The Wigan performance was entirely his making

He's not the only manager to fall victim of putting out weakened teams in cup competitions. In isolation it was a mistake.

 

But overall he did a decent job in those first two seasons at Bolton all things considered.

 

He should never have been appointed in the first place may I add and the bloke did himself no favours. But he did a decent job results wise.

OC, who many day was the biggest disaster ever, also had a period when he did a decent job. Until Utd away or Stoke at Wembley for example

 

As for Megson; most of the first season yeah sure, but you aren't having "2 years" as season 2 was a disaster with that group of players....hence us only being on 18 points and in relegation when he was booted

 

And what's this managerial genius done since?

 

Fuck me, it's bad enough thinking about our current plight without folk trying to make up that that cunt was decent too

Season 1 he kept us up with bunch of mentalists Sammy Lee signed from a 4 point start.

 

Season 2 we finished mid table and got to last 16 of UEFA cup.

 

Season 3 he was sacked with us in relegation zone after a 4 match unbeaten run.

And you ASSUME it would have dropped. Nobody KNOWS where it was going - it's all assumption whatever side of the fence you sit on. The FACTS might not sit comfortably, but they are undeniable.

Yet oddly Coyle, 33%, had a better win ratio than Megson, 27%

Season 3 I meant

 

So an unbeaten run and we were still in relegation? Yeah good start

 

And, again, the players did not want to work with him. There's another fact

 

As for the Sammy Lee save; I don't think anyone actually believed we would ever go down that season at all. It was a good group and Sammy Lee just had them playing far too unnaturally from what they were used too

 

Too much change too soon.

 

It was hardly a miracle keeping them up

95% of managers are shite.

 

Its all about being in the right place at the right time.

Yet oddly Coyle, 33%, had a better win ratio than Megson, 27%

A FACT eh cheese?

all megsons games were in the prem

 

another fact

 

the wage bill grew (big time) under coyle

 

theres another

 

 

 

as an aside, win ration means fcuk all, i really dont know why sky et al get hung up on it

 

ppg at least has some relevance

if you take out OC's 10 championship games, of which we won 3, his win ratio very marginally improves (from 33.33 to 33.62)!!

 

someone else can work out PPG

Casino will not like this FACT

Eh!

 

You're either rewriting history! Or my memory is fooked!
