Megson Admits Difficulty Due to Lack of Funds
It has been reported that Megson is on the lookout for a new striker and have all known for a long time that finances are tight at Bolton Wanderers, but it is fairly rare that Megson speaks up about the down side of being The BWFC’s manager.
“It is difficult and I accept the problems that the powers that be have here in terms of finance.
“I said the other day ‘whether we can afford to do it remains to be seen’ but it might be a case of whether we can afford not to do it. That’s the big question.
“We are in the Premier League and we have two forward lads — and one of them has been plying his trade on the right wing for years, which is Davo.
“Johan didn’t get enough goals last year and has got to start chipping in with more, and after that we have only got youngsters. We need another forward at this club if we can afford to do it.“
No matter who manages Bolton there will be the ongoing problem with money. Unfortunately money seems to rule the game of professional football and if you feel that Bolton in general and this summer’s signings are somewhat lacklustre then money, or the lack of it, is a huge contributing factor.
Do you remember Kevin Nolan’s plea for funds on the BBC?
“The lads are all very disappointed we’ve not been able to add to the squad. That’s not down to the gaffer, it’s down to the people above him not giving him the resources to do it.”
Nolan was right then and that what he said still remains relevant and will continue to do so.
