nice idea but i think but its not just about what he does on the field but what he does in the dressing room before the game. nolan seems to have done a fantastic job over the last few games to prove hes the man for the job for me.

Anyone got any suggestions of new signings for next season.. As stated a couple of weeks ago Danny murphy is out of contract at fulham.. if they go down i think he should be a target for us. He plays football the 'correct' way, picks out passes, scores goals, and not shy to get stuck in, could be just what were looking for in midfield. Most of you probably wont agree with this but i trust Megson to make some good additions in the summer, His january signings of Cahill, Steinsson, Taylor have all been excellent, Rasiak and cohen maybe not, but they didnt cost hardly any money.

Did you notice the massive crowds in the lower leagues over the weekend. 30,OOO + at Wednesday ,Leeds and Southampton. 25,000 + at a host of other grounds up and down the country. Everyone with an electric atmosphere,with fans going wild at both ends of the tables. Hillsborough was a cauldron of noise,just like St Marys. Massive pitch invasions everywhere. We get one fan on the pitch showing a bit of passion and he gets arrested. The atmosphere was good,but.....yet again we cant fill the Reebok for a game of such importance. If they give season tickets away next season we still would not fill it every week,and some would still come on here complaining.

davie - good to hear the points on Gartside.
Although not to sure yet on Megson I do think we could have a much worse chairman than Gartside. Afraid his comments on Allardyce did him no favours but he was disappointed that Sam was leaving and sure he has the clubs interest at heart

where do you get these stats from - can't believe arsenal had him- even on loan cos' to take him permanently they would have had to shatter their wage structure - there is no way that they would have paid those wages for him - unless he was a world beater - hence they sent him back - fair play to him if he's on that much for playing so little !! i'll stick to my sign Nicky Maynard as a squad player (one for the future then) what wages is he on at crewe ??

Lets give Megson a chance brigade is all well and good but what has he done to deserve a chance. He makes more gaffs than Boris Johnson he continues to be more negative than any manager we have had in the last twenty years plus. We have just secured our stay in the premiership by the skin of our teeth with more luck than good management with our worst points tally in years and for our wonderful manager to praise him on the job he has done in amassing 31 points from 27 games. What an achievement we have in staying in a division in which we have made our home for the last 7 years. The players must have realized the serious financial costs of relegation in respect of their wages and put a little effort in and also rode their luck against Spurs and Boro yet we say Megson is the man. He plays Cohen and Rasiak over players with better credentials and we want this man to use our entire transfer kitty with his signings. Out of three signings with costs over 12M we have one very good player and one with a potential to be a good player and the jury is out on the third. The other two signings were dross yet he continued to play them. Now that the end of the season is nigh we will get our board coming out with empty pledges on the amount we will spend and back the squad while the Season tickets are being sold and our fans are so fickle they will buy them even though they have been caught out year in year out. We will be linked to players that will not emerge at our ground all for the ginger numpty to confess that we cannot attract the top players to the Reebok. All the fans celebrated the fact we avoided relegation for what to be in the same position next year with the negative one and all the cups given away cheaply. I for one will not renew and will only go to the away games until he and Gartside are removed.

i fully agree with you - but the bottom line is for the time being like it or not we are stuck with megson ( i personally think he's the worst manager we've had since phil neal, a little harsh on phil neal but hey ho ) but he did manage to sign cahill, steinsson & taylor so maybe he's better at negotiating a deal than managing a team.

If Martin Jol is still looking for work then we should should sack megson before the Chelsea game and appoint Jol. This so called article by Cahill is designed to boost the Megson fan club and show people what a popular manager he is. The truth is that his management philososphy is based on shouting; his team selection is based on defending in desperation and hoping for a goal and his training methods are straight out of the cloggers handbook. (Back to basics ????) What a joke. We still have a decent core of players and need to get about six out and six in. The board have said that Anelka's money is still there and we should get 4 mill for Diouffy. Add a couple of Mill from this years sky money and it should give us just over 20 mill to spend. That is 3 quality players. We then need another 3 players on a free. I am talking about players of the Jimmy Bullard quality in midfield. Players of the Bafe Gomis quality up front. Players like this are realistic in price, but can we attract them with Megson at the helm.

So what are you saying? just because he doesn't do what you want him to he shouldn't be able to go in a pub? Get real! Bolton were in a lot worse position before he became chairman. For those who are not getting season tickets next time around so be it, no need for fans who don't really want to be there. See its back to whinging doesn't take long does it?

Who is Bafe Gomis?Is he any good?Wouldn`t mine Bullard but don`t think he`ll come back up north.Just seen sky sports news and knowing gartshites ambition he`s probably sealing a deal for our new sriker.Darren Huckerby.Anyway i`m off to Chelsea on sunday to watch us end their unbeaten home record.C`MON U WHITEMEN,BOLTON TILL I DIE.

I'm not defending the team Megson put out in Lisbon (I would clearly be on my own if I did) but does anyone think we would have got the last 4 results if our minds had been on, say, 4 cup ties v Glasgow Rangers and Fiorentina? Some people may prefer the cup glory, which is fair enough, I personally am glad we got out of the Uefa Cup when we did and just about kept ourselves in the Prem. Despite our negative manager, I am looking forward to us playing league games next year without the handicap of juggling with extra Thursday/Sunday games.

Megsons rotation didnt work at all ie Wigan away!,so i dont think it would have made much difference to the team.The one thing it would have done is given runouts to people like Vaz te/Walker/Meite & Helguson,we are paying a lot of money in wages to these players & they are not even playing in the reserves!!.

I'm not disputing any of that Jacko, I'm just suggesting that maybe if we were playing in Florence in a massive semi final last Thursday, we (fans and players) may not have been focused enough on the Spurs and Sunderland games to have got 4 critical points. Just my opinion, if I had the choice I would take the 4 points as I dont think we are good enough to play above ourselves 4 times in 2 weeks.

If anyone has read my previous posts they would know how anti-Megson I am. I just know that if we were still in the Uefa Cup we wouldnt still be in the Prem. Now if we had a different manager, the 2 might be possible, because we wouldnt be handicapped by his inept team selections.

Some people may prefer the cup glory, which is fair enough, I personally am glad we got out of the Uefa Cup when we did and just about kept ourselves in the Prem. Despite our negative manager, I am looking forward to us playing league games next year without the handicap of juggling with extra Thursday/Sunday games.

jon w, i would have sacked megson after the villa match and we'd have probably gone down, but we'd have never known, we could have been inspired by winning in portugal and stuffed wigan and gone on a good run, its ifs and buts, megson and the players have earned a second chance, but i'd only give him till october, and charlie if you are reading this, this isnt actually your forum to control, if you like gartside and megson bully for you, but your constant whining and moaning at everyone who doesnt like them is getting tedious, dont comment on peoples threads with that whining tone and they wont comment on yours!

If anyone has read my previous posts they would know how anti-Megson I am. I just know that if we were still in the Uefa Cup we wouldnt still be in the Prem. Now if we had a different manager, the 2 might be possible, because we wouldnt be handicapped by his inept team selections.

jon largely agreeing with your points i was referring to ' charlie ' who whinges on everytime we dont be 'happy, slappy, clappy ' i'm beginning to believe he's a born again christian because he's too happy to be real.

So what are you saying? just because he doesn't do what you want him to he shouldn't be able to go in a pub? Get real! Bolton were in a lot worse position before he became chairman. For those who are not getting season tickets next time around so be it, no need for fans who don't really want to be there. See its back to whinging doesn't take long does it?

different side to mr gartside was saturday night,in a bar in westhoughton were he was being his usuall arrorgant self telling the fans there opinions count for nothing and when one fan showed him his club badge tattoe and said thats how much the club means to me his answer was SO WHAT??? he was then attacked and his two minders jumped in to his rescue,the bouncers then locked him in the bar till the fans had left!! so he aint all that great

REALLY BIG THAT,CANT STAND THE REPLY SO JUST SMACK THE SH'T OUT OF HIM.GARTSIDE OR JOE PUBLIC......ITS NOT ON.......BACK TO SCHOOL TODAY WAS IT.

didnt say he got the sh1t kicked out of him,if you read the post correctly i said he was saved by his minders, and was simply stating he was being arrorgant?? back to school? wish i was im 39 pal,just putting another slant on it, he isnt the angel everyone on here seems to think well not everyone just some

what if his minders were not there ......what then. 39 you say, ithink if you were involved or with the person-persons involved your self and those with you should have roase above said remarks and walked away.MY OPINION.violence solves nothing.BOLTON THROUGH AND THROUGH WHO EVER IS AT THE RIEGNS.

If Big Sam was still here I bet Lita would have been a great signing. One of BSA strengths was rescuing careers that seemed to on the slide eg Kev Davies. Not so sure under present management. A couple of weeks ago someone posted on here a fairly long list of players all over Europe who are coming out of contract, from memory there were some decent players on it. Now that we can offer premier league football, surely it would be worth having a look at some of these.

There were English players on it as well not just foreigners. In a perfect world I would agree with you, but dont you think there are more bargains to be had from abroad. Sam certainly made it work.

Lets give Megson a chance brigade is all well and good but what has he done to deserve a chance. He makes more gaffs than Boris Johnson he continues to be more negative than any manager we have had in the last twenty years plus. We have just secured our stay in the premiership by the skin of our teeth with more luck than good management with our worst points tally in years and for our wonderful manager to praise him on the job he has done in amassing 31 points from 27 games. What an achievement we have in staying in a division in which we have made our home for the last 7 years. The players must have realized the serious financial costs of relegation in respect of their wages and put a little effort in and also rode their luck against Spurs and Boro yet we say Megson is the man. He plays Cohen and Rasiak over players with better credentials and we want this man to use our entire transfer kitty with his signings. Out of three signings with costs over 12M we have one very good player and one with a potential to be a good player and the jury is out on the third. The other two signings were dross yet he continued to play them. Now that the end of the season is nigh we will get our board coming out with empty pledges on the amount we will spend and back the squad while the Season tickets are being sold and our fans are so fickle they will buy them even though they have been caught out year in year out. We will be linked to players that will not emerge at our ground all for the ginger numpty to confess that we cannot attract the top players to the Reebok. All the fans celebrated the fact we avoided relegation for what to be in the same position next year with the negative one and all the cups given away cheaply. I for one will not renew and will only go to the away games until he and Gartside are removed.

Absolutely spot on apple. Couldnt have said it better myself.If he was brought in to save us from relegation, hes done his job now go. We now need a manager that is going to take us to the next level. Possibly mid-table and some decent cup runs. Mr Megson is not that man.

yeah gartside really didnt do himself any favours with his rant over allardyce, and not acknowledging his own mistakes, and having a go at the fans putting himself so much in the spotlight when things were going well is a recipe for disaster for any chairman, just look at ridsdale at leeds. if you want to milk the plaudits when everything is going well youve gotta be prepared to take the flak when its not. the best chairmen are the ones you never even hear about
