Megson Hopes to Woo Fans by Getting Nolan Back
Gary Megson seems to be thinking hard about how to become more popular with Bolton fans and his latest ploy is to openly praise former Trotter Kevin Nolan and attempt to bring him back to The Reebok Stadium. Megson is quoted as saying;
“I didn’t particularly want him to go in the first place.
We asked somebody to find out if Newcastle would be interested in loaning Kevin back. We haven’t had a response. We heard Newcastle needed to move one or two players about because they went down.”
So, no news as yet but would the reintroduction of Kevin Nolan be a good thing for Bolton? Probably not.
Sure Nolan was a great Wanderer — scoring 50 goals in his 343 appearances for the club and assisting countless times. However, as Megson pointed out in the same interview, Nolan’s form began to dwindle and he has not found too much success at Newcastle.
Would this move make Megson more popular with Bolton supporters? Probably not. In fact, definitely not.
Megson getting Nolan back a The Reebok would be seen as vain attempt to appease the crowd. In fact Megson has cleverly used talk about Nolan as a smokescreen to hide his new striker scam.
I doubt that I’ll be reusing the headline, ‘Nolan Signs Until 2011‘. Unless, of course, the 2011 refers to the time that Megson owns up that his comments about Nolan was indeed a distraction tactic.
