Megson Needs Support
Love him or loathe him, Gary Megson is the manager of our beloved Bolton Wanderers Football Club. Unfortunately he has not made himself popular with fans and there may to be a rebellion forming. The worst thing to happen to the club right now would be for Megson to be ousted.
The way I see it is that Bolton is only just getting over the loss of Sam Allardyce, the much loved manager who managed to get Bolton into a Cup Final and Europe. Sam struggled with Bolton when it came to signing new players, until more money was made available. Big Sam was always criticised for the style of play he advocates — he still is. Megson has the same problems, lack of funds and a squad that was used to a certain way of playing which I think was once described as, “hoofing the ball up the field in hope.”
I realise Megson did not replace Allardyce immediately, Sammy Lee and Archie Knox both held the helm before Megson’s unpopular arrival. It was an uncertain time for The Trotters when Big Sam left — the club was in disarray, desperate for a saviour. None came so Gary Megson was employed and handed the unenviable task of getting BWFC back on its feet.
