EXCLUSIVE: Wanderers get green light for Megson
3:42pm Wednesday 24th October 2007
Comments (430) Have your say »
Leicester City have cleared the way for Gary Megson to become the next manager of Bolton Wanderers.
The Championship club are understood to have finally given their 48-year-old manager permission to speak to Wanderers chairman, Phil Gartside, over the vacant Reebok post.
There has been no confirmation from either club, but Gartside, who was twice denied permission to speak to Megson, is now free to talk to his number one target.
It is the most significant development yet in the search for a successor to Sammy Lee, who left the Reebok last week after just 14 games in charge, and it seems only a matter of time before the former West Brom and Nottingham Forest manager is officially appointed.

well alright panic but don't accept this as a done deal yet and keep moaning all over the place
Moaning is all I have left - Gartside has decided he's the number 1 choice, do you think we won't get him?
And if we get him, it will even further ruin the club - so I'll keep moaning, thanks anyway, because I care.

I can not believe what i am reading, and more importantly seeing on TV about Gary Megson possibly about to be announced as the new Bolton boss in the next 48 hours!
Let me state one thing, im a Nottingham Forest fan coming here in peace. Never had a problem with Bolton, great history, great teams and great fans, so this is not a dig at you guys.......BUT MEGSON!!!!
How can a team with the ability and fan base of BWFC want to step backwards, because that is what will happen with Megson in charge. Im not against the guy because of what happened at Forest, and i mean that. Im just going on what i witnessed week in week out in the dugouts and on the pitch, and i dont just mean whilst he was at Forest. Im going back to West Brom and further, and now Leicester.
He is the worst possible signing you can make for your team. Im all for giving people time, but he is NOT the right man for you, that i do know. There is one thing that will happen if he is appointed, you will finish bottom and not a single Forest fan wants to see that. The bottom spot we were hoping would be reserved for Derby County.
In all seriousness, if you really want to remain in the Premiership, then i would be protesting at your club gates right now at the possible chance at Megson taking charge. The fans over at Leicester are praying you get him, go check there forums.
Bolton, turn back now before it really is too late! The footballing world has its eyebrows fully raised!
OUR FATE IS SEALED

It states he left Forest because -"he resigned in February 2006 after being put under a lot of pressure by the Forest fans".
So thats what we need to do.
We need the Bolton News to show that we do not want him. before taking the Leicester job he was a coach at Stoke??
Very very very sad times at Bolton.

Unfortunately, your pessimism appears well placed.
Please see a posting made on our message board entitled "MEGSON - If you dont want to be here - FCUK OFF! "
If you do - say it, and then make it look like it.
Dont believe your hype - you have not vindicated yourself that you are a great boss and always have been.
If you go, you will be forgotten by saturday - harsh but true. Stop being a damp squib and say something we want to hear - either way will be fine with us.
I've stuck with you and you've let us down with your crappy comments. We dont know whether you are committed to leicester, but we do know 100% that you have not signed your contract - ooh, what can we read into that. Just go, and we will see you next year back in the championship, with as many relegations to your name as promotions."
It then moved on deciding on our next manager hoping that it is a foregone conclusion. This was met with lots of agreement and far worse derision of megson than the above post.
If it wasnt for you guys coming in for him, we were heading for a mutiny anyway, we didnt want him in the first place, and nothing has changed since.
But in all honesty - Thankyou and unfortunately, enjoy the premier league as the dark days may not be too far away - we have since died a thousand deaths and are only just beginning to accept how far we have fallen.
There is no positive spin to put on this - nil-nil draws will not save you, as they have not done for us.

If he is put in charge I will not attend another game at the Rbk until we have proved to that Fcuk nut Gartslime that he is the wrong manager and that will be too late.
Megson - hated by Forest and the Foxes fans and has proved nothing?? What are you doing PG????
Gartslime you are a pig headed, self obssessed excuse for a human being. Small man syndrome and greed all wrapped up in one destined to take the club down.
You just want to appoint a manager that is weak and will not beg you for money.
You take this club down pal I can assure you that every fan will make sure you never work in footy again.
Your Scum and I wish the police had found some evidence against you now!!! Maybe they still will!! Here's hoping!!

All you have to do is protest with your feet and just not turn up.
Its hard, but when you have a chairman who doesn't have the ambition to succeed then enough is enough.
It's not final yet who knows strange things happen in football and hopefully Gartslimes plane won't make it back from Spain.
The Faith will come good, just keep it.

I'm off to the bookies to put a bet on the Wanderers to sack another manager before the end of the season!
Here is a thought though. If, as I strongly believe, Smegson is a failure will Eddie Davies then sack Gartslime? Surely he cannot keep his job if he gets two bad appointments on the bounce so badly wrong.

i'm the last person that wants gary megson as manager, but the last thing out team needs at the moment is everyone turning their backs on the team. thats what counts at the end of the day, if megson is the new manager get behind him and support the team, thats what the players need right now. let him prove us wrong. all these fans on here saying they're gona support bury etc can't be proper fans surely. we're 2 wins away from mid table and everything looks a little rosier then. get behind the team tommorrow night and give gartside hell!
The main problem with your argument is that if they can count on your unconditional support for the team, they never have to take account of your opinions no matter how loudly you shout or how often you moan.
I and my family are definately not going to watch a Megson team walk out at the reebok and I've e'mailed Gartside to tell him exactly why - because our team is in ruins and HE is to blame.

I think he will be a great appointment. We rarely played great football under Allardyce but we got results, hopefully Megson will bring both to the Reebok. Give this guy a chance and show we are true fans.

Either way I think you need to check out this guys stats, history and teh fans sites from his old clubs.

Whelan: Jewell support
Dave Whelan has given his blessing to Paul Jewell amid speculation linking the former Wigan boss with the Bolton job.
It was believed that Jewell would have to wait six months before accepting a new post after walking out on Wigan at the end of last season.
But Latics chairman Whelan has revealed that Jewell would be free to take over at Bolton if he and the club wished.
Jewell declared when he left Wigan that he would be taking a break from the game rather than going into a new job immediately, and Whelan is satisfied that he has stayed true to his word.
"Paul could take the Bolton job tomorrow and he would have my full support," Whelan told the Manchester Evening News.
Jewell, who quit Wigan in May after guiding the club to Premier League safety, has been linked with other positions in recent months.
He is understood to have interested both Norwich and Leicester, whose current manager Gary Megson has emerged as Bolton's number one target.
Bolton have been searching for a new boss since the departure of Sammy Lee last week.

When we left Burnden we lost our jobs,in fact to be blunt we were sacked, because in the eyes of the Wanderers we were amateurs and not up to the job at the Reebok.Ten years on I ask who are the amateurs now,certainly not the group of lads from Bolton and Farnworth who videoed every game,not the fans from all round Bolton and the fans in areas and countries too numerous to mention. What a shambles, not what Dave would call 'a reet Lancashire hotpot' nor a real DING DONG DOO,.....RIP Dave, sorry about what they've done to your club mate

I put all the blame for this on PG. ED has actually done an awful lot for us and bank rolled lots of players that we all certainly enjoyed watching like Jay Jay and Youri. I personally think that he would quite easily sell if if a better suitor was found. At least ED is a fan of the club and not some shifty stranger allegedly wanted for human rights violations.
If Megson IS installed and introduced before tomorrows match we should all do nothing when he is introduced. No clapping, just nothing.
But in the meantime, we should do everything possible to stop this atrocity from happening. If he signs it will be one of our Darkest days in history and I'm sure our already dwindling numbers at the Reebok will dramatically drop some more.

Manderic is now looking for a new Manager too and I bet they get Paul Jewell.
That pig head Gartslime has not listened to a word we have said today.
This is a real sad day for the club and its players past and present.
Your a disgrace Gartslime and hope wish you all the pain and agony one day that you are putting me and the fans through this year.
I will not be going to the RBK again with him in charge and this will be my last entry on a Bolton site.
Unless another manager other than Megson is appointed of course. If we get into Europe with him then I will sit in the centre of the rbk and shave by head chest and balls.

Gary Megson is set to speak to Bolton about their vacant managerial position after parting company with Leicester.
Foxes chairman Milan Mandaric rejected two approaches from Bolton for the 48-year-old, who only took over at Leicester six weeks ago.
But in a statement on Wednesday, Mandaric said: "Gary left me no choice when he informed me he wanted to leave Leicester and talk to Bolton."
He added: "The search for a new manager begins in earnest."
Megson is expected to take charge of Bolton in time for Sunday's Premier League match against Aston Villa.
Assistant boss Frank Burrows and Gerry Taggart have been put in temporary control at Leicester.
In an emotional statement, Mandaric continued: "I made it abundantly clear that Bolton's interest was neither welcome or invited but it was evident to me following a meeting requested by Gary that his loyalties and heart lay elsewhere.
"Naturally I am very disappointed.
"My objectives were to stand firm in the face of mounting interest from Bolton and intense media speculation over Gary's future, but in the end these completely undermined my firm determination to retain his services.
"In point of fact it was abundantly clear to me that if I stood in Gary's way it would have a detrimental effect on the club and I was not prepared to allow that to happen."
Mandaric added that he had agreed a compensation package with Bolton.

i hope gartside keeps his word and takes gm.

Most fans on here don't think Megson is the right man for the job....do we give him 9 games to possibly get us another 5 pts then sack him too, and be back to square one again.
He has done nothing, alienated almost everbody at every club he has been at, and if you ask me it was like manna from heaven for Mandaric when we came calling. Compensation for a manager who hadn't signed his contract and who, judging by Leicester's position in the Championship, would probably have been sacked shortly anyway.
What exactly is Gartside's rush for....yes we need a new manager...but take time to interview as many as possible to make sure we get the right one. And what exactly is Gary Megson's agent doing on the interview panel. If you have to use an agent fine, just not one with a vested interest and a bit of a murky past at that.

After all the great work Allardyce did, Gartside is managing to unravel it all in a matter of months and the appointment of Megson should finish the job completely.
You guys should all be up at the stadium en masse voicing your disapproval, because if Megson gets it, wave byebye to the Premier.

Dear Mr Gartside,
I am writing in disbelief at the apperently imminent appointment of Gary Megson as Bolton Wanderers manager. We are rapidly becoming the laughing stock of the Premiership and this will further fuel that mirth as well as leaving the BWFC support preparing for Championship football next season. The appointment of a man who has failed and been sacked as Manager of clubs of a much lesser stature than ours shows incredible short sightedness, lack of ambition and complete disregard for your paying customers (visit the Bolton News website and view the web topics to see what your paying customers think).
As well as a staggering record of failure in terms of results, relegation etc. he can also demonstrate a record of failure in terms of alienating players and losing the dressing room. I am dreading the news that the appointment has been made because it undoes everything that has been achieved at this football club and condemns us to the dark days again. I'm sure that yourself and the owner will be fine from the proceeds of the January departure of Anelka and Diouf and the drop in Gates will not be an issue as we must still have millions left from the massively inflated TV revenue from our performance last season of which less than £5 million went on players.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not appoint this man.He will take the club back to where we fought so hard to escape from.
The statement that "if Sam Allardyce was applying for the job now he wouldn't get it" would be enough in most businesses to warrent a vote of no confidence in a chairman in light of his subsequent failures and general apathy towards the lifeblood of the business, but of course this is not most businesses.
The club is heading towards an abyss and you appear to be putting your foot on the gas to get us there quicker, please sit down with the owner discuss it rationally, and if it means Archie Knox staying at the healm till a more suitable candidate appears so be it, better that than a knee jerk mistake.
Hoping some sanity prevails
This has left the humorous stage and become serious.

I'm sure that yourself and the owner will be fine from the proceeds of the January departure of Anelka and Diouf and the drop in Gates will not be an issue as we must still have millions left from the massively inflated TV revenue from our performance last season of which less than £5 million went on players. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not appoint this man.He will take the club back to where we fought so hard to escape from. The statement that "if Sam Allardyce was applying for the job now he wouldn't get it" would be enough in most businesses to warrent a vote of no confidence in a chairman in light of his subsequent failures and general apathy towards the lifeblood of the business, but of course this is not most businesses. The club is heading towards an abyss and you appear to be putting your foot on the gas to get us there quicker, please sit down with the owner discuss it rationally, and if it means Archie Knox staying at the healm till a more suitable candidate appears so be it, better that than a knee jerk mistake. Hoping some sanity prevails This has left the humorous stage and become serious.

All these posts are making the basic mistake that they think Gartslime wants to keep the club in the premiership. He does'nt! Shifty tosser WANTS them to be relegated. He will sell the best players in January and then clear off with his pockets bulging. And guess what? The club will still owe a fortune despite all the income over the years. Its called asset stripping and it happens all the time in business. I have still not worked out how he 'legally' ambushed all the small shareholders years ago to steal the club with his mate Davies. Problem is all the anger in these posts will disappear with the odd win here and there and the 'lets get behind the team' mentality. Just what the two bandits want. Well last saturday I watched Old Bolts beat Bury GSOB 5-1. Good attractive football. Did'nt cost a bean. The sun was shining, couple or three pints after. No egomaniac chairmen around. (well did'nt see any)Beautiful. How do I get a refund for my season ticket again?
I watched Turton beat Dalton 5-0 on saturday. Far better than supporting Gartslime and his cronies.

Gary Megson has left Leicester City and will speak to Bolton Wanderers about their managerial vacancy.
zoom - galleria After only six weeks at the Walkers Stadium, Gary Megson has quit as manager of Leicester City and will now have talks with Bolton about taking over at the Reebok in succession to Sammy Lee.
Leicester's chairman, Milan Mandaric, rejected two approaches from Bolton for 48-year-old Megson, whom he appointed so recently.
However, in a statement just issued, Mandaric said: "Gary left me no choice when he informed me he wanted to leave Leicester and talk to Bolton."
He added: "The search for a new manager begins in earnest."
Megson is now expected to take charge of Bolton in time for Sunday's Premier League match against Aston Villa.
Leicester's assistant manager Frank Burrows and Gerry Taggart have been put in temporary control of the Foxes, who are now looking to appoint their sixth manager in 18 months.
Mandaric's statement continued: "I made it abundantly clear that Bolton's interest was neither welcome or invited but it was evident to me following a meeting requested by Gary that his loyalties and heart lay elsewhere.
"Naturally I am very disappointed.
"My objectives were to stand firm in the face of mounting interest from Bolton and intense media speculation over Gary's future, but in the end these completely undermined my firm determination to retain his services.
"In point of fact it was abundantly clear to me that if I stood in Gary's way it would have a detrimental effect on the club and I was not prepared to allow that to happen."
Mandaric added that he had agreed a compensation package with Bolton.
Today's departure means that Megson's last match in charge of Leciester was Tuesday's 1-0 defeat by Sheffield United.
During that match he was the target of some fans' anger - not just because of the defeat, but also because they perceived that Megson was not committed to the Foxes, with the Bolton job being bandied about.
"The crowd's reaction to me towards the end wasn't particularly palatable from my point of view," Megson said after the game.
Mandaric revealed that it was after the game that Megson requested a meeting him.
Megson's playing career spanned 18 years and nine clubs, with one of which - Sheffield Wednesday - he had two spells. H was a journeyman midfielder whose career began at Plymouth Argyle and continued at Everton, Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Wednesday again, Manchester City, Norwich, Lincoln and Shrewsbury.
His managerial career has taken in spells at Norwich, Blackpool, Stockport County, Stoke City, West Bromwich Albion, Nottingham Forest and Leicester. His best win percentage was achieved at West Bron (42.53%), whom he twice steered to promotion to the Premier League.

After all who pays the wages at the club WE DO !!! and remember the day when we all came together to get rid of the muppet dueo of managers we had,it shows that we the fans can have a say if we stand together,get up there to the reebok and protest,otherwise we will all be on here again tomorrow complaining over the appointment of Mr Megson.
Come on have some backbone do we really think after all this club has achieved we deserve a manager who at best can only just dress himself.

Megson is set to be confirmed as Sammy Lee's successor, and Mandaric expects it will be announced sooner rather than later.

I actually didn't want him to go when the rumours started last week, but after last night, he had to go. I couldn't put up with anymore of that rubbish that was served up. I am not sad at this, and its not Mandaric's fault. I would go for Simon Grayson, but lets give Gerry and Frank a chance.

Well that fact that Leicster City fans are really happy that Megson has gone only 6 weeks into his reign speaks volumes. Bolton might aswell have kept Sammy Lee as Megson is no better. It will only get worse come January when the likes of Anelka & Diouf leave to clubs that will be in comfortable positions in their respective leagues.
Honestly im gutted for Bolton, i always liked how they stuck it to the big boys (particularlly Arsenal) and were good under Big Sam, but when Sammy Lee too over it all feel apart.

Well, that's 2 of the relegation spots sorted out already, Derby and Bolton.

Well Leicester fans - consider yourself very lucky to have got rid of this numpty before he did any real damage to your club.
And what the Bolton board are thinking of by taking Megson on I don't know. He was a disaster at Forest though the West Brom liked him.
And the next manager of LCFC? Simon Grayson? You'd be better off with Larry Grayson

It will only get worse come January when the likes of Anelka & Diouf leave to clubs that will be in comfortable positions in their respective leagues. Honestly im gutted for Bolton, i always liked how they stuck it to the big boys (particularlly Arsenal) and were good under Big Sam, but when Sammy Lee too over it all feel apart. add comment | complain about this comment comment by 4thecaptain posted 1 Hour Ago I don't believe it. This just shows how little ambition Bolton actually have. What is Megson's track record, what has he actually achieved? Well, that's 2 of the relegation spots sorted out already, Derby and Bolton. add comment | complain about this comment comment by gandini posted 58 Minutes Ago As an Everton fan, I've always had a soft spot for Bolton. What a joke! Can't believe they want Megson...what is going through Gartsides mind??? add comment | complain about this comment comment by Guru_Bhoy posted 46 Minutes Ago Well Leicester fans - consider yourself very lucky to have got rid of this numpty before he did any real damage to your club. And what the Bolton board are thinking of by taking Megson on I don't know. He was a disaster at Forest though the West Brom liked him. And the next manager of LCFC? Simon Grayson? You'd be better off with Larry Grayson add comment | complain about this comment comment by LorkSwift - Fulham Fan posted 27 Minutes Ago At the risk of sounding like an idiot... what's so bad with megson? add comment | complain about this comment comment by aj2977 posted 20 Minutes Ago Simon grayson has not put a foot wrong in management. He would be consierdably better than larry grayson because he is not dead. add comment | complain about this comment comment by north_upper_block_M posted 6 Minutes Ago Leicester are lucky. Thankfully we played them when they were managed by Megson! Doesn't look good for Bolton though add comment | complain about this comment comment by smithy_33 posted 5 Minutes Ago i would be delighted if i was a fester fan, he may've started well but he would've made u collapse. god help bolton

9 AT THE REEBOK.
Make your feelings known that this is unacceptable.
Even if it is a done deal, you still can't take this lying.
This is the FANS club and it's your duty to save it.
Protest tonight,tomorrow, Sunday whenever, just as long as we get rid of Gartside and Megson.

We have dined with pride in the finest company over the last few years and have gained respect from such names as Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho and Benitez, all world class managers who came to The Reebok Stadium and fielded their top stars. You never saw a string of reserves in any visiting line up under Big Sam.
In six months we have gone to nothing. We are the whipping boys, we are the laughing stock.
Ok, Little Sam failed, bad start to the season, still not over and a lot to play for. The obvious response for me and every other fan would be to pay the ectra dollar, get a top manager to salvage what he can from the season and bring back the winning ways to our beloved team.
What is Gartsides response?
Get a manager who has FAILED AT EVERY CLUB HE HAS BEEN TO, HAS NO CREDENTIALS, COULD NOT RUN A BATH AND HAS GINGER HAIR!
This is a sad day.
Attendances will fall further, I gave up my season ticket, I will never watch again under Gartside, I do not work hard to fund his and Eddies cushy lifestyles.
How is Megson going to manage Anelka, Diouf, Jussi, Campo and the guys.
It is like putting Arkwright as General Manager of Selfridges.
