How Gary Megson could become more popular than Adolf Hitler

Ridiculous analogies are the latest weapon of choice for the army of Pro-Megsonites (mainly non-Wanderers), who have taken it upon themselves to criticise Bolton fans for daring to have an opinion about the manager whose wages they pay.

SquareFootball (a good site that Manny Road enjoys a good relationship with, but isn’t afraid to criticise when they get it totally wrong), suggested recently that Bolton fans wouldn’t get behind Gary Megson even if he guided us to the Champions League.

The Sky wannabes let Gary Megson off the hook

It’s the time of year when newspapers and websites fill empty space with reviews and analysis of the season just passed. Most of them are hardly worth reading, especially when you’ve had a season as dull and uneventful as the Wanderers have.

One section from Setanta’s end-of-season Bolton Wanderers review jumped off the page, though.

The Bolton Wanderers manager wants more cash to splash… does he deserve it?

Gary Megson spent most of last season complaining about the size of his squad and he’s continued to send not-so-subtle messages to Phil Gartside and the Bolton Wanderers bank manager since the campaign ended.

Megson told The Bolton News that he’s confident of attracting big names to the Reebok, but do you trust him to spend your hard-spent season ticket cash wisely?

Let’s look at the evidence…

Johan Elmander: Eight times more costly than a Premier League referee

Friday, May 29th, 2009 | BWFC News, BWFC People, Johan Elmander | 3 Comments

English football (soccer) referee :en:Howard Webb

Referees cost Bolton £1.44m last season… that’s £9.66m less than Johan

According to this guide on a Hull City fans’ website, Premier League clubs receive an extra £0.72m for every place higher they finish in the final table.

Former referee Jeff Winter has been keeping an alternative Premier League table this season based on where each team would be if all refereeing decisions were correct.

The Bolton Wanderers match report you won’t read in the papers (or see on Match of the Day)

How the national press reported Bolton Wanderers 1-1 Aston Villa

It seems like we’ve been hearing this for weeks now, but yet again we’re told by the Mail that Bolton are just one win away from definite safety. The same paper also tells us that Gary Megson believes Bolton have “hearts as big as buckets all over the pitch.”
