Phil Gartside auditions for Gary Megson's replacement (via Dave Hogg)
Phil Gartside auditions for Gary Megson's replacement (via Dave Hogg)
In the first post by one of Manny Road’s new writers, Wanderers fan Bruce Garrow gives his view on the Gary Megson/Owen Coyle saga…
We’ve never had it so good. Barring a lengthy cup run or an ambitious voyage into the top half of the table, a managerial shake-up is as much excitement as Bolton fans can expect this year. Once again the media searchlight hovers our way as General Gartside cleans out a mess of his own making.
Owen Coyle and Gary Megson were both in the running to succeed Sammy Lee back in 2007, but our chairman recommended Coyle to Burnley and they took him at his word. In the meantime, Megson’s stewardship was thankfully consigned to history at the turn of the year. So now we’re afforded a rare chance to see how history can play out with Gartside’s other favourite, who is likely to return, pending compensation.

A scorer of important goals, worthy of his place in McDonald’s…
There was an interesting discussion on the Times’ The Game podcast recently about how strikers don’t score goals any more. Their evidence was that the only three of the Premier League’s top 10 goalscorers are still playing (and none of them are at the top of their game any more).

Recommended reading (5.11.08): It’s official… Bolton Wanderers are rubbish. And so are Phil Gartside’s ideas

What Manny Road has been reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers today…
- Some stats from Martin Tyler on Sky Sports suggesting Bolton have been rubbish in derbies over the last year or so (I think he’ll find Bolton have been rubbish in most matches over the last 12 months, derbies or not).

Bolton finish third in the Premier League

Only Chelsea and Manchester United are better than Bolton Wanderers
No, your eyes do not deceive you. Only Manchester United and Chelsea are better than Bolton Wanderers… when it comes to being hated.
It’s official… well, it was in the Daily Mirror anyway. The Wanderers actually finished seventh in the poll, but four of the teams above them – Burnley, Millall, Wolves and England’s most hated club Leeds United – are not in the Premier League, and therefore may as well not exist.
Big Sam Allardyce made Bolton in to a top seven Premier League side by transforming the club from ‘plucky Bolton’ in to ‘big, horrible, nasty, will probably spit in your face (thanks Dioufy) and shag your wife Bolton’. And it’s great to see that that legacy has not been squandered, even if the real world Premier League position has slipped a little.
In the same poll Bury were voted the tenth most-liked club. I know where I’d rather be.
