Basically Paul Jewell won with a massive 26% followed closely with Jose Mourinho with a rather surprising 22%. The rest of the votes were spread fairly evenly yet somehow Graeme Souness came a distant 3rd with 6%.

The least votes went to Stuart Pearce, actually that is not technically correct as he failed to receive a any votes. Gary Megson, said to be Bolton’s first choice, received just one vote (probably from Gartside). This proves rather convincingly that Bolton fans do not want Magson at the helm of Bolton Wanderers.

Here are the full results:

• 26% : Paul Jewell
• 22% : José Mourinho
• 6% : Graeme Souness
• 5% : Chris Coleman, Gérard Houllier, Adrian Boothroyd, John Collins, Claudio Ranieri
• 4% : Ricky Sbragia
• 3% : Steve Bruce, Peter Reid, Phil Brown, Ian Dowie
• 2% : Archie Knox, Gary Speed
• 1% : Gary Megson, Ruud Gullit
• 0% : Stuart Pearce

Obviously Lee has been removed from the poll and new possibilities to replace Sammy Lee as Bolton Wanderers new manager have been added. Including José Mourinho, the popular Phil Jewell (who was clearly winning), and a certain Frenchman who would probably get rid of Diouf!

More may be added as possible replacements are rumoured.

BWFC24 reckons Phil Jewell will be appointed but would like to see José prove that he really is a good manager or Gérard Houllier at the helm.

The new poll makes a few suggestions, but you can add your own.

Sammy Lee remains an option should you feel that he is still the man for the job. Meanwhile there is speculation about former Wigan manager, Phil Jewel, joining The Wanderers and also, the less than obvious choice of Watford boss, Adrian Boothroyd.

Gary Speed is up for nominations, along with Ricky Sbragia and the former Trotter Phil Brown who is currently Hull City’s manager after several appointments around the country.

Given the choice, who would you want as manager at The Reebok?

The Premier League [The Premier League]
Is upside-down [Is upside-down]
The Premier League is upside-down
We’re staying up with The County
And the Arse are going down

(repeat until bored)

To be sung when Bolton travel down to steal three points from The Gunners. Obviously it will be best if they are still at the top, but you can substitute ‘Arse’ with ‘Scum’ if you like.

Let’s re-establish this classic song as it seems appropriate at the moment and it is a song of support and optimism tinged with irony. Singing it in front of Sammy Lee and the players may inspire greatness.

As for the poll – use it to show your support for The Trotters by voting ‘yes’ and laugh in the face of relegation.

Here are the full results that show that many supporters are somewhat disgruntled with Sammy Lee’s performance and would like to see the back of him.

1. Sack the ••••!: 29%
2. Too soon to say: 27%
3. Just plain crap: 17%
4. Learning – slowly: 11%
5. Aye, not bad: 6%
6. Diabolical: 3%
7. Better than I thought: 3%
8. Excellent: 3%
9. I wanna kiss him: 0%

Poor Sammy Lee no-one wanted to kiss the little fella (probably scared of hurting their back).

Last Poll Results

The last BWFC24 Poll was about the colour of shorts (Blue or White). White was the preferred choice but as Bolton end the season without a confirmed manager – who gives a shit really?

Advert: Watch the 1958 FA Cup Final : Bolton Wanderers vs Manchester United

1. £10m – 39%
2. £15m – 25%
3. £20m or more – 21%
4. Athletico were right, £6m – 11%
5. No more than what we paid Liverpool (£3m?) – 4%

An overwhelming 85% said that the evidently popular Bolton striker was worth in excess of £10,000,000.

From this we can conclude that Wanderers’ fans think that Dioufy is worth keeping and  despite what Big Sam says to sell Diouf would possibly spell disaster for the club, no matter how much was added to the summer signing kitty.

Keep Dioufy at The Reebok is the message.
