We had an absolute shocker here. Given that we only went down on the last day, and spent the £7m on an untried defender from the states and Marvin Sordell; surely we’d have been better off keeping him, therefore increasing our chance of survival and losing on a free in the summer.

Moderators Zico Posted November 17, 2022 Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2022 Pretty sure City offered £17m and a player I'm sure Coyle didn't have the final say so if true I'm surprised we didn't cash in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted November 17, 2022 Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2022 Got to be said though One thing Megson was generally decent at was signing good players Cahill, Muamba, Taylor, Steinsson, Klasnic etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedman was a clown. No arguments from me. It saddens me that no Bolton manager will ever get the spending power Megson did. We were going down with a whimper and he had that team underperforming. It was the only time I stopped wanting to go to matches. It was grim. Europe alone he should never be forgiven, I genuinely believe we could of made that final. So much so I bought tickets. I find it staggering despite what has happened that anyone looks back on his time fondly. He did bring some good players in but so have I on champ man over the years.

gonzo Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Took us to a mid table Premier League finish and last 16 of UEFA cup including beating Athletico Madrid, Red Star Belgrade and a draw at Bayern Munich.

I was at Burnley away and Hull home when it all turned toxic over the Christmas period I get he was a PR disaster and old school in terms of how he handled things, but when you've got fans not accepting him from the minute he walked in the door, you can see why he was like he was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
